Digitizing it into pdf allows you to read it and search the content without worrying about causing damage.

Some magazines are already digitized. Sometimes members on here borrow online magazine subscriptions to download content they want. If you have a local university nearby, or some sort of archives you could buy a community member card and gain access to their services.

I bought a Tip Top Weekly from 1899, and it was already in rough shape. Many of these are on an online collection, so I never need to remove mine from its comic book holder.

I handle a LOT of magazines - not just sports. As suggested above DO NOT attempt to just protect the cover. If the magazine is that "pristine" and preserving the value is important to you, then I wouldn't even handle it and consider getting graded by CGC. As far as wanting to read or look at advertisements, as has been suggested try to find a digitized copy or spring for another copy in poor condition for "reading". If you don't care about preserving value, then just do whatever makes you happy!
