Sports Illustrated mags and Cincy Reds & Bengals Cards

Brookie12

I have a collection of SI mags dating from 1971 thru 1983. Most years I have 90% of each months weekly issues. I have tehem catagorized by year, month, week, and that particulary weeks heading on the mag. They are in excellent shape. They were organized weekly and placed neatly in boxes. The Reds cards range from Upper Deck, Topps, Fleer, & several other brands. The years are primarily the Big Red Machine era. The Bengals cards begin year late 60's thru 70's, into early 80's. The cards are in excellen shapet due to being placed in a sports catalogue and not handled.

Do mags have shipping labels? That will decrease value considerably.

I am aware of the labels decreasing the value. Yes, mags have the shipping label on the cover page.

Welcome to the group!

They make stuff like goo-be-gone that can help with some of those labels.

The best part of it is, the solution evaporates pretty quickly and doesn't do damage to the magazine leaving you with a label that either peels off with a little knife action or makes you realize it isn't going anywhere without ripping the cover.
