Fernando,

The full Blackhawk catalogue from the 1970's would be over 100 pages (several catalogues). They do come up on ebay; I realise a current US seller will not sell outside the US. He has not sold any of his catalogues, yet I would have bought them if he sold internationally.

Keep looking and you will find them.

David

I would gladly help you out, but I had a bad experience with this seller awhile back, so I won't deal with him/her again! Either selling or buying! Very arrogant, and if you check their feedback you'll see i'm not alone.

Posted by Fernando Artigues (Member # 1568) on April 06, 2010, 03:43 PM:

i don't see that ... i understand

only got 4 bad feedbacks of 1377
that is not too bad i thing..

That's not a prime catalog to get anyway. By that time, a large part was filled up with video tapes, and many of the film titles had been discontinued. (I'm assuming you want a good reference for what Blackhawk released over the years.) But there were still many new releases, notably a few W&W's, as well as the Time-Life Harold LLoyds.

The mid-70's was the sweet spot for BH catalogs in terms of getting a good feel for what was available in the film format. But frankly, you do need the later ones as well for the newer releases.

You could email the seller and see if they have any more.

I concur with Tony. The catalogs of '79 and later were 60% film and 40% VHS/BETAMAX. Signs of film leaving the market were pretty obvious by this time. Stick to prior to 1978. The ones from '74-'77 were by far the best.

Posted by Michael O'Regan (Member # 938) on May 13, 2010, 01:09 PM:

Here's another one from the same seller:

I received mine today - excellent condition and well packed.

I see these covers and I can remember having all of these. Why o'h why did I ever throw them out? I must have had about 30 of these babies when I was younger. I used to put them all in the sleeve protectors that comic dealers use. One day in the late 80s (after graduating from college) I decided since film was nearing its extinction I discarded them. Boy, (smacking head) if I only knew that 25 years later I'd want them all over again and now I have to pay for what was once free.

Posted by Michael O'Regan (Member # 938) on May 13, 2010, 02:54 PM:

Brad,

Were these free at that time?

Posted by Brad Kimball (Member # 5) on May 13, 2010, 04:18 PM:

All you had to do was call their WATTS line (the 1-800 #) and request a catalog. As long as you made at least 1 purchase within 90 days they would continue to send you their catalogs and mini catalogs throughout the year. The catalogs were always free.
