Default Sporting Life covers

What you think of these items on eBay? Not the cards themselves, but still 100+year-old publications that often have the SL cabinet card photos on the cover. I just got the one below with a Chickering cabinet photo of Sullivan from 1899. I'm kind of surprised these are often only going for $50 or so.



thoughts?

It's Josh Evan's of Lelands sister.

I really liked the one with the 1901 Matty (looked like his W600 rookie) but wasn't willing to go $1,000 on it, but someone did as it sold

Picked up a 1905 Detroit Tiger team with Cobb in REA. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Actually, for $600 I have a 1905 Cobb - very cool IMHO.

Default Sporting Life's

I love these Sporting Life Papers with Team Photo's on the Front! Also, I like the Cooperstown/HOF heritage aspect to them. (They have been at the HOF locked away for decades until now being offered to public) Sporting Life published the Champion teams each year for Southern, American & Nat'l Leagues. I am not sure other Leagues were featured on the Front of Sporting Life Papers, but do know other leagues were featured on the w601 sporting life team composite, you could mail in for...

Great pieces, and yes the prices are very low inho. Very few survived in good shape, and the photo's of the teams are quite attractive. Great for display... Here is one I picked up of the 1902 Nashville Champion Southern League team. Ed Abbaticchio was their ringer...

They're cool, but very brittle

Super cool, super fragile, and very under priced! Sporting Life put out many items from around the turn of the century and how can you not own one of these papers?!?! Everyone should get at least one of these papers which has your favorite player or team on it and stick it in the back of your closet!

I love these. I agree they are undervalued. They have tons of info and great pics. They can be very fragile though.

Here are my two favorites, my apologies for the poor pics.
