R1Toasty Posted October 2, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 2, 2007 I noticed something a little chunkier in the mail today, and it was for me. It happens to be a version of The Map from 1998, sent to me by my grandfather. The collection begins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Local Posted October 2, 2007 Share #3 Posted October 2, 2007 ahh the 1998 map. Awesome map. Ya, ive started my map collection about 8 years ago. I purchase a lot of mid 70s till mid 90's maps on ebay with routes that cease to exist in todays system. Very interesting to view how service changed so much and so many times over the past 3 decades... good luck with the collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1Toasty Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted October 2, 2007 The only problem I find with collecting them is that despite the unbelievable amount of maps in circulation at the time, there are near none available today. The old maps are great though, it's a great way to see what happens to it. I only hope to find more around... eBay you say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCOman Posted October 3, 2007 Share #5 Posted October 3, 2007 I think the very first "The Map" still had the C going to the Bronx. I gotta get my hands on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threxx Posted March 10, 2013 Share #10 Posted March 10, 2013 Don't revive old threads. If there hasn't been a post in a while, don't post in it. The old system used to have a message at the top of old threads that told people to refrain from posting in them. I wonder if that can be added on IP.B...
