Posted By: <b>paul s.</b><p>I'm looking for a few issues from 1896. Are these available? Or is my best bet a library or the Hall of Fame or...? Thanks for any help.

Posted By: <b>Joseph</b><p>If you're looking for hard copies there are dealers who have 'em.<br /><br />If you're doing research, your best bet is:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.paperofrecord.com/search_paper.asp?PaperId=834" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.paperofrecord.com/search_paper.asp?PaperId=834</a><br /><br />Their Sporting News run starts in 1886. You'll have to pay a fee to join, but you can download to your heart's delight, I think....<br /><br /><br />BULLETIN!! I just logged in after not using for years...it's FREE!!!<br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>p stratton</b><p>Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, they did not have the issues I am looking for. Anyone know any dealers of this type of material?

Posted By: <b>Joseph</b><p>As far as I can see, they have every 8-page issue for the year 1896. The "search"<br />feature on the site is not quite robust. Keep trying. Also, the quality of the output ain't great.<br /><br />But it's all there. And it's free. If you want help, shoot me a line.
