Thanks to all who responded to my straw poll.
I guess not too many older collectors still read these mags and new ones don't
know/care about them.

I still read them both, but not religiously. These tired old eyes have
trouble with tiny print. Maybe they should do like The Comic Book Price Guide
did and come out with a "large-type" edition. Now THERE'S a sign of an aging
hobby!

Subject: [MOPO] Straw Poll: How many read MCW and Classic Images?
Hi, Mopoers:
I've been reading the tributes to Sam Rubin and am truly sorry I never
got a chance to know him. Seems like he was a pioneer and an important mainstay
of the hobby, especially in the early days.
Things, of course, have changed a lot since the arrival of the Internet.
I know in other collecting areas, the result has been the almost complete
disappearance of periodicals dedicated to the hobby. At one time, these
magazines were a vital source of information, not to mention marketplaces in
and of themselves.
Alll this and the mentions of MCW and Classic Images got me wondering:
How many of you continue to read either one of these magazines and, if so, do
you read the hard copy or do you read it online? How many used to read them but
stopped?
I'd like to hear from the oldtimers but from newcomers, too. Have you
ever looked at them? For that matter, have you ever heard of them before?
(Probably not too many in this group who haven't, but you never know.)
