Early CNA Journals

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

Tonight i managed to acquire a significant collection of early CNA journals and I am really enjoying reading them.

The membership lists, bourse notes and ads are quite fascinating. The executive used to publish their addresses in every volume.

It appears that I have every issue from 1956-1976 and a ton of the late 1990s volumes. I am hoping to find some good forgotten articles on errors and varieties buried in them.

I had to take them or they would have gone to the recycling depot 

Some dealer prices from Vol 1-1:

1858 25 cent piece EF $2.50
1914 Gem Unc $10 Canada gold coin $50

Oh for a time machine!

The executive used to publish their addresses in every volume.

I believe that practice continues.  Check the listing of the executive that is somewhere in the first few pages of any current issue.  The most significant change is that some people now prefer to use a PO box for some degree of privacy.  When I was on the executive, I used the RCNA's address.  (Not once in my tenure did I receive a single piece of mail!)

Just caught this post as I don't visit this site as often as I used to.

Interestingly enough I checked and even new member' home addresses were listed into the 90's. 
This practice has long since been stopped as I'm sure you discovered by now Fenian.
