Australasian Coin & Banknote Magazine

[Mister T]

I prefer the news agency.

I haven't seen a copy in a newsagent up here in Northern NSW for years,may still be around thou..
Certain mainstream Dealer used to put his copy in the Comic Book section of his store each Month.
That should narrow it down for the sleuths on here,who sold Coins/Stamps and pre-read Books/Mags/Comics?.

I don't trust the post to deliver. They fold my sons copy of Open Road to squeeze it in the top slot (even though we have a parcel delivery slot below it). Or they lose things (heading off this arvo to Service NSW to arrange a replacement security licence that never arrived). Or their mail sorting machines bash the heck out packages. At least at the newsagent you can select a pristine copy to read and then stick away neatly for future reference. Do most of us keep all our back issues? Always handy when referring to articles from years ago.

Yep, a couple of plastic storage boxes in the back shed.

Of the three newsagents in my area, one has stopped stocking the magazine, which of course is the one closest to me. When they were still getting it in, availability was a bit hit and miss. Also, I was told by another agent that the distributors will stop sending if bills are not paid on time.

Yes - I think I have every issue from August 2001 and then it gets a bit patchy before that.

We may have seen the last ever CAB magazine this month

[Mister T]

Why - what happened?

[fred lever]

Yes Runway, as a contributor to CAB what can you tell us?

Fred.

[Mister T]

Nobody has unfortunately

Went to the newsagent today and no CAB. Did not come this month. Is it a distribution problem or is CAB defunct?

[Mister T]

No idea - I've looked in a different news agent to my usual and saw nothing there either (but there are three different stamp magazines still in publication).

Any subscribers here?

[Mister T]

According to the person at the news agent it's due in late January. Not sure how accurate that is.

[nealeffendi]

I went to another newsagent on the 14th, he said the computer shows they only got one copy. Another newsagent on the 16th only had the November issue on the shelf.

[Mister T]

Hm, only one copy - maybe a mistake.
