Hi John- I'm not sure I fully understand your question (the word "individual" throws me), but if you are asking can a collector accumulate a large or complete collection of Harper's- absolutely. An enormous number of Harper's have survived over the years, mostly in bound volumes. You would think something printed on thin newspaper stock would be scarce, but these baseball woodcuts are not. And yes, there are less collectors today than in the past. The hobby is changing, and most of it as we know has gravitated toward the slab. That's collecting life.
