With college football kicking off (Go Illini!), training for a pair of half-ironman triathlons this fall, my day job, and writing for the blog, my personal collecting goals took a back seat in September. Though I did pick up a few more hobby publications, guides, and classic catalogs for the hobby library.
Speaking of that library, I’m starting to think about how to display these items, so I’ll be doing a lot of shopping for protective covers for vintage magazines and bookshelves ideal for displaying them. If you have any suggestions, please reach out in the comments or on Twitter.
Anyway, here on PostWarCards.Com, I continued to add a lot of content; 27 new articles and archive additions were made to the site this month, along with the 9th, 10th, and 11th Post War Cards newsletters. I’ve linked all the new material below.
