The Bottom Line
If you're interested in a little bit of everything, you'll be definitely waiting for this magazine to arrive in the mailbox! Collectors News eventually covers it all. My only complaint is the monthly 10 Questions for Well-Rounded Collectors. I'm obviously not well-rounded as it's not unusual for me fail the quiz, but it does keep me on my toes! And I do learn from it, which is the whole point.
