I have run out of room and am interested in selling my collection of complete issues of both The Sporting News (4200 +/- issues) and The Sporting Life (770 +/- issues), including the following :
TSN :
Every issue from 1993 back thru 1935.
1934 - missing 3 issues
1933 - missing 5 issues
1932 - have complete year
1931 - have complete year
1930 - missing 5 issues
1929 - missing 17 issues
1928 - have complete year
1927 - have complete year
1926 - missing 2 issues
1925 - missing 27 issues
1924 - missing 29 issues
1923 - missing 39 issues
1922 - have complete year
1921 - missing 39 issues
1920 - have complete year
1888 thru 1919 - have 56 issues
The Sporting Life :
Complete bound run from March 25, 1899 thru Sept 2, 1911.
Complete year 1889 bound.
Assorted issues in 1891, 1894, 1897, 1912, 1913 & 1916.
They are all stored flat.
Obviously the percentage of baseball content in all of these issues (both TSN and SL) is very high.
I would very much prefer to sell the entire collection, but would be willing to split it up. I will not pull individual issues. I will pull "years", but would have more interest in "decades".
Email me at
doug.goodman@earthlink.net if you have any interest.
Take care,
Doug
PS - I might be interested in trades. I am looking for some 1952 high numbers, including both Mantle & Jackie variations, Campy and Eddie Mathews. I need about 90 blackless 1982 Topps cards. I collect larger sized items such as Police Gazette supplements, M113 Baseball Magazine supplements and Leslies woodcuts. I am interested in the T3 set. I need some Tip Top Magazines with baseball covers. I also collect scored baseball programs and scorecards. Send an email, I'm open to just about any ideas that ultimately involve gaining back the space currently used to store around 5,000 newspapers.
