IBHOF Induction Weekend
As we go live with the new website, the IBHOF is having its induction weekend and we are there and have been since the first one. We cover the events there but lean heavily on the memorabilia we see and maybe even buy. SUBSCRIBE NOW and read BCN #259, just out, for a rundown of the weekend in words and pictures.
The memorabilia show is on Saturday but there's always some parking lot selling and swapping on the days leading up to the even (see image of Craig and Lou from '08 on left).
testimonials
We need you longtime subscribers to send in your testimonials. Tell the new subscribers what they are getting into. We'll publish as many as we can.
2011 marks my 16th year as a subscriber to BCN, and over that time I've seen Don Scott's fine little magazine evolve into the best niche publication in the sports collecting hobby. From articles that shed light on the careers of forgotten greats to features on historic memorabilia and ephemera, BCN consistently "goes the distance" in delivering everything a boxing aficionado could hope for. A bonus has been the many friends and contacts I've made through deals that started with an ad in BCN. Here's to another 20 years of excellence, Don! Murray Greig,

I have been subscribing to BCN for many years. I actually think it was since the end of year 1 or in year 2. Don puts a great newsletter today. I think its the bible of our hobby. The dealers that place ads are wonderful guys and easy to deal with. Don is such a help to us collectors and fans. If you have a question on an item, he is always there to help us. He is a wonderful writer. The Web site is up and running and is a great addition to the hobby. I still enjoy receiving my BCN mailed copy. Give it a try, you will truly enjoy it. Nick Trotta
Back Issues
We will be publishing a link to an inventory of back issues so you can pick and choose some time this year. But as a way to celebrate our new website, if you want the 50 earliest issues I have left or the 50 latest (you decide) just let me know and Paypal or send check or money order for $40 plus $5 postage (in US) and handling and I will send them out.. If you are not in the US, just add another $5 US and I will oblige.

- In memorium: We are sad to announce that boxing collecting has lost a member of its own ranks. Mark Mausner, husband, father, physician, friend, collector and the best story teller of us all. R.I.P., Mark, and say hello to Greb.
- Heritage's big November auction did not disappoint and the December Lelands was equally grand. Check out the archives on both sites. Better than a price guide.
