Old Sports Illustrated Magazines. Is there a market for these?

eddiev

I have old Sports Illustrated magazines from the mid 70's to the mid 80's. I tried to sell a few from the year 1980 recently and was unsuccessful. Is there still a demand for this stuff or do I throw them all away.

What about old Beckett magazines? Any all all feedback is appreciated. Thanks

There is actually an issue I need from around 76/77. Could you help me out??

eddiev

Let me know what it is and while I'm looking through the boxes I will put it out

I remember about 7-10 or so years ago, I bought 2 unopened boxes, if I remember the first edition of Sports Illustrated. The one with a sheet of cards in the center.

Think I sold em' at Superior Auctions?

I should have kept them! I bet "break-up" value would be great now? Who knows?

eddiev - I've got a SI wantlist. I'm doing a collection of all Dodger and Ram covers. Maybe we can work something out.

I would be interested in anything with North Carolina Basketball on the cover.

I would be interested in ones with the Green Bay Packers on them

I would also be interested in any with TarHeels on the cover--but since Chris asked first--he gets first dibs.

Unlike Chris, I would also be interested in any with TarHeels football covers (if there are any).

OK, i"ll start looking through the boxes tonight and get back to everyone. Better to someone who will appreciate them verus in the dumpster.

Wasn't there a market for these in the past? I also enjoy reading and collecting them but they take up too much room.

Long shot here, but let me know if you have an issue with a Rod Carew story inside (he's not on cover). I recall him demonstrating how he packs his mouth with tobbacco wrapped in bubble gum and why he puts in his right cheek instead of left.

I don't know about a market in general, but when Michael Jordan was still a HOT comodity, you could get $10 each for any MJ SI, in nice condition.

For the most part, there seems to be a glut of these on the market, especially 70's on. The serious SI collector would rather have a newsstand copy over a subscription copy (without the mailing label). I read somewhere that newsstand copies comprise something like only 5% of SI's that are sold, and they are popular with autograph seekers, due to the uncluttered cover without the mailing label.

Like tnp777 above, I am also looking for RAMS SI's, but I have most everything from the 70's and 80's already.

I'd be interested in most Steelers or Pitt or Pirates on the cover...
