I agree with the posters above the artistic qualities of the old programs and magazines are pretty cool. The magazines/programs are not uncommon. I can see a higher premium for high grade examples but overall I think magazines/programs will remain a collecting niche. This is coming from a collector who went down the signed SI rabbit hole to the tune of 200 plus signed issues. Also, as the prices of cards rocketed to obscene prices; the thinking in the collectibles world seemed to be high tides raises all ships! So, all non card prices should rocket as well. For example, $900 for a Ripken ties Gehring graded ticket? Uh, no. Granted someone out there might drop that kind of iron on the ticket, but not me.
I have always liked the 1963 and 1965 World Series programs but I don't own either one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/353540628634 https://www.ebay.com/itm/285450556515
