Largest Newspaper Sports Page Collection in The Country
 

Hi,

My name is Jeff Young and I am a new member of the Net54baseball forum. I own the largest newspaper sports page and sports related newspaper collection in the country. Many of my pages and newspapers are very rare. I operate an eBay store called Gallery of The Game that has over 2000 listings.

In my Store, you will not only find Major Sporting events and stars from yesteryear, but you will find lesser-known stories and photos of players, teams and events. These offer an opportunity to find a genealogical history of family members who played sports. My store also carries other sports related paper ephemera.

You can contact me via e-mail at galleryofthegame@gmail.com.

Attached is an example of one of my listings. It is a "Sports Extra" front page that came from an October 3, 1906, edition of Chicago Daily News newspaper. This front page contains a large, bold banner headline announcing that the Chicago White Sox have won the American League Baseball Pennant setting up the first and only all Chicago World Series. The center of the page features a photo of Sir Thomas Lipton surrounded by cartoon illustrations that are associated with news that there are 85 entries in the Columbia Yacht Regatta to honor a visit by Sir Thomas Lipton.

Welcome Jeff.

How many pages would you say you have in total?

Doug

I was wondering what you typically advise in terms of preserving and framing old newspapers. It's gotta be tricky even shipping them.

Checked out your eBay page . . .some very cool stuff.

Welcome!!
 

Welcome Jeff!

I have purchase several newspapers from your eBay store over the years, with excellent results in shipping methods and most importantly- historical content. You seem to always have something of interest being listed and I (along with other sports researchers) appreciate the quality listing images- Definitely a worthwile resource! Thanks for your efforts!

welcome
