Sporting Life issues were not produced in a bound format. Instead the binding of issues was done by an organization such as a library in order to organize the issues and allow people access to previous ones.
I have seen bound volumes from later dates as well. Some of the issues of Sporting Life that are in the market have been cut from these bindings. For example, I know the Baseball Hall of Fame had some bound volumes that they cut in order to digitize the information and then the individual issues were sold. I have considered cutting these out as well. With that being said, one of the main reasons these issues have survived for 125 years in such great condition is due to the fact that they were bound.
