Anyone collect The Sporting News?

I thought it was cool when I was able to get a complete years of the TSN from the 50's at a pretty affordable price. Now 5 years later, I have probably 20 complete years from 1927 thru 1956. I have most in mylar/acid free backing and then archival boxes. They are so cool to have, but I'm afraid to share them with friends. Am I crazy to think they are collectible and a touchstone to the past? Am I alone??

I only collect if Brooks Robinson or other Orioles are on the cover...but I'd love to see how you have your collection displayed. Can you post a picture?

I have loads of them from the 1970's and 80's . I think they are a great passageway to the past . Very informative and nice photos . My dad used to subscribe and now I have them ................

Hi - I saw the topic and have to make a plug for my product...If you would like to ever display your TSN newsapapers or magazines, I have acrylic display boxes just for that purpose. Feel free to check them out!

Hi,
I thought I'd post this one that I have framed. I've got a pretty nice group from the 20's and 30's. This is a neat shot of Babe from September of 1923.

I have a couple TSN in nice condition from 1940s. If interested, I'd sell them cheap.
