Magazines & Grading

[pherbener]

I've recently started picking up older magazines. Especially Baseball Magazine. As a Matty fan, this one is my favorite. Got the supplement too!

Very nice looking one.

I never thought about collecting them but I have several baseball magazines from the 50’s and need to find them and take a look

Completely under valued and just a matter of time before they get hot as they are trending that way. Because they are larger and fragile (normally) has made collectors shy away. I think if there was a grading company who made a thin or custom holder for each brand they would take off in value. I know I would send me entire collection to get a grade and to make sure they are protected for years to come. Hopefully the slabs would use a Mylar sleeve first.

Anyway, here are some of mine over the years I’ve managed to pick off from various auctions and eBay. I am thinking about doing sheet music but I like too much stuff as it is.

I just got on here today to ask about magazines and this thread was already here! Thinking about buying some 1930s baseball magazines. Looked at some older ones on eBay but were in four digit price range. Are there affordable ones pre 30s? ($50 or so or less?) Battered and not graded is preferable to me. I just got some of the cutout pinups from 30s magazines which got me thinking about getting the entire magazine. I’m in kc so not much chance of finding them around here afaik

My only graded Magazine. I have a bunch of SI's that I need to get around to loading pics. There are a lot of really cool covers out there.

Does anyone here collect Sport Magazine? Some very attractive, colorful covers to be found there, especially in the late 40s through the 60s.

I do. I have a near complete run from 1946 to 1986ish. My father and I started collecting them in the 1980s primarily to get autographed.
This is a link to my Flickr album with the collection of them.

IMO, SPORT was the best magazine from 1946-1970. The articles and photos (especially the Ozzie Sweet photos) are outstanding. I have a complete run of the 1st 25 years of SPORT, all newstand issues, mostly nm-mint. I have many duplicates as I am am ridiculously picky and was constantly upgrading. I set up at card shows and am finding that magazines are a really hard sell.
