How to purchase the Rocketeers Collector's Journal
 
I've been getting many requests from people looking to buy a set of Danny Sagstetter's Rocketeer Collector's Journal. There are thirteen issues total in the set. Below is his correct, updated address so you can get a set for yourself. I got my own set a number of years ago and there's lots of great info in there.

ROCKETEER COLLECTOR's JOURNAL
c/ o Danny Sagstetter
6291 Newtown Drive
Columbus, Ohio 43231

The cost is $75 including postage within the continental United States. Any type of payment is accepted. If you live out of that area you'll want to contact him first to get the cost to ship to your location.

He will sign all issues for free if requested.

His email address is sagstetters@juno.com.

Rocketeers Collectors Journal is a must
 
I have the complete set now. Mr. Sagstetter was really nice and he mailed me the missing issue, so now I have the complete set.

Apparently the reason why he had stopped with the journal was due to the place he worked out of was broken into and damaged. So I was sad to hear that. The information in the journal for any collector or historian that loves this hobby, I think would love the information.

He did a great job with the journal.

Hello Molnaya,

SAME BAT TIME... SAME BAT CHANNEL!

The answer is yes he is still at the same address and stilling selling the journal. Just follow the instructions that you quoted, and within a couple of weeks, you will find his journals in your mail box. Very informative and worth the costs.

I recently ordered the RCJ set for my brother as a Christmas present. It arrived safe and sound within a week or two. I think he'll love it!
