The Burr MacIntosh magazine was essentially a limited edition artistic magazine. The images were printed using a higher quality printing process than used for regular magazines. The baseball pictures aren't suppliments or premiums, but are different than a page torn out of a Time magazine. I would think the best way to invest in these would be to purchase the complete magazines.

Some limited edition early art and photo magazines are highly collectable and expensive. For example, the famous photographer Alfred Steiglitz produced a photo magazine for several years called 'Camera Works.' Many of the pictures were tipped into the pages. Single copies of certain magazines and even indivial pictures from issues sell for thousands of dollars, and there have been books written about the magazines and cataloging the pictures in them.

In the baseball hobby, people know little of the Burr McIntosh baseball pictures but little is known about the magazine and the baseball pic checklist. If a MacIntosh fan were to research the magazine and its baseball pictures and write an article for Old Cardboad, it would raise the awareness and interest in the magazines and pictures.
