I'm basically spending the afternoon of my three-day weekend flipping through and scanning vintage hobby publications. The last was the October 1979 issue of The Trader Speaks.

It's hard to pick just one highlight from this one amongst a lot of high signal content like pre-war wax wrapper identification, HOF plaque postcard research, 1969 Topps "Peeloffs," and Plow Boy Tobacco Premiums, but I think I'll go with the ad from Mike Egnor selling a 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig card for $40. It was a fair price then, but now it's worth USD 9-10k.
