Enormous hoard of printed issues of the Card Collectors Bulletin, an important early hobby publication.  Packed with information, the Card Collectors Bulletin was largely typewritten and stapled, absolutely packed with information from hobby researchers, scholars and collectors.  The collection includes issues, beginning with very early editions from the 1940s, running through the late 1970s, and containing essential information, often long-forgotten, but also containing vital names from hobby history. Largely an informative publication in its early days, by the mid 1970s it consisted mostly of want-ads, sales and auction listings, but remains populated by some of the most important figures in the history of the hobby.  

The first issue of this collection begins in August of 1944 with issue #31, the entire collection including the following issues: 1944: #31, 32. 1945: #33, 34, 35. 1946: #42, 43, 44, 45. 1947: #46, 47, 48, 49, 50. 1948: #52, 53, 55, 56, 57. 1949: #58, 59, 60, 61, 62. 1961: #130. 1965: #156, 157, 158, 159. 1966: #161, 162, 163, 164. 1967: #166, 167 (unnumbered), 168, 169 (newsletter plus auction bid sheet), 171. 1968: #172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177. 1969: #178, 179, 181, 182. 1970: #183, 184, 185 (184.5), 185, 186. 1971: #187, 188, 189, 190. 1972: #191, 193 (unnumbered), 194. 1973: #195, 196, 197, 198, 199. 1974: #201, 202, 203, 204. 1975: 205, 206, 207, 208. 1976: #209, 211, 212. 1977: #214, 215. 1978: #217, 218, 219, 220.  Acceptable condition overall, as they have been pored over and scrutinized, likely by many collectors, with handwritten notations here and there.  An essential collection for any student of the hobby.  82 issues total.
