Anyone Remember Foothill Coins or Lyle Clark?

When I was younger and collecting in the late 1970's early 1980's these two dealers would alternate having the back full-page ads in Coin World. I sent off for a few coins from them. Anyone know whatever happened to these entities?

Knowing what I do now, they may not have been the best place to have purchased coins.

    I think Foothill still has the back page, just under a new name. I always wonder where they get those odds and ends they advertise, like the tickets to Clinton's impeachment hearing and things like that.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I remember those back page adds for baseball cards, wooden nickels, buttons...and some coins.

    They still alternate the back page w/Delaware Valley, albiet under a different name.

    Caveat emptor.
