>>I am so very sad to announce that "On Monday, October 15 two of the
>most highly respected film buff publications, Movie Collectors World
>(MCW) and Classic Images (CI) announced that they had come to an
>agreement on the sale of MCW. Classic Images has agreed to buy Movie
>Collectors World, a Michigan based newspaper published by Brian
>Bukantis since 1985. The agreement was made on Friday, October 12.
>The two papers, serving movie buffs around the world, will be merged
>into one monthly publication. Under the terms of the agreement,
>currently active paid MCW subscribers will receive each monthly issue
>of CI, beginning with the December issue, for the length of their MCW
>subscription term."
>>
>>Those of you who only joined this hobby the past few years only know
>of MCW as a thin magazine, filled mostly with auction announcements
>and ads for the foremost dealers.
>>
>>But for those of us who have been in the hobby for decades, we
>remember so well those pre-Internet days when a large portion of the
>collectors and dealers subscribed to this then bulging publication,
>because it was THE number one way to buy and sell, and pretty much
>the most important day of the month was the one when MCW arrived!
>>
>>This really IS the "end of an era". I want to publicly thank Brian
>Bukantis for publishing it the past 27 years, and for doing a superb
>job throughout that time (of course, the ONLY thing he couldn't
>overcome was the Internet, which is rapidly putting EVERY newspaper
>and magazine out of business, and Brian should be quite proud that he
>was able to continue publishing as long as he did). He is a great
>guy, both personally and professionally, and he added immeasurably to
>our hobby. The ONLY silver lining to this is that Brian's life now
>won't be spent going from one urgent deadline to another!
>>
>>I will have more about this (and a farewell message from Brian) in
>my next weekly e-mail club message on Sunday!
