I just want to make sure everyone is aware of the difference between "Harpers Magazine" and "Harpers Weekly".

The "Weekly's" are the newspaper sized issues that included the Baseball Woodcuts. The Magazines were more like literary happenings of the time, and when bound (this is how they are almost always found) they make books roughly the size of a large Bible. The Magazines can often be found for $5-15 for complete years and (other than Bibles) are just about the cheapest books of the time to buy. Bound Harpers Weekly's are highly collected and can run you MUCH more than the smaller (Magazine) ones. I am unaware of any Harpers Magazine that featured any baseball related material (but I could be wron on that last part).
