* in the notes regarding ad rates: "Our rates for Collage are, obviously, higher (in proportion) than the RB&CC. Our print run here is 500 while the RB&CC has a 2,000 paid circulation. This is due to the cost of putting out such a zine on a bi-weekly schedule. Collage is primarily for the advertiser who needs to get his ad before the largest number of fans in the shortest time possible, in a prestige [sic] publication. Naturally, though, for both frequency and paid circulation, the RB&CC cannot be beat by any fanzine."
* "Star Trek," an article about the show by James Van Hise 
* "Star Trek's Real Star," an article about Leonard Nimoy by Jimmy Thorton and James Van Hise
