The Sporting News Feb 3 1938 Billy Herman - Connie Mack

 

ITEM DESCRIPTION:
A few people have each time I've offered these, so for the sake of total clarity this is not a reprint but a totally original vintage issue of The Sporting News issued at the date in the title

Gigantic oversized magazine printed on newsprint, measures appx. 17" X 24-1/2". Classic Sporting News from when it was "The Baseball Paper of the World"! Following is an image of the full cover of this issue of The Sporting News:

Which includes mention of the following stories:

  • Headline over photos: "They're Keeping Warmed Up In Off-Season Homes At St. Petersburg, FL"
  • Schoolboy Rowe Just a Name on Detroit Roster
  • Cubs Stars Using Billy Herman 's 20 Grand as Argument for Increase in Own Salaries
  • Grimes Gave Okay on Signing Van Lingle Mungo
  • Five Hill Jobs Open For Yank Recruits - McCarthy Will Rebuild Around Gomez, Ruffing, and Murphy
  • Also includes:

    1,000 Cheer Mack at Philly Writer's Dinner with photo depicting, left to right, Joe DiMaggio, Carl Hubbell, Connie Mack, Al Hortwits and Mickey Cochrane

    And so much more baseball content packed inside these 10 huge pages, what I mention here is just part of the front cover and any other items shown--bid on it and see for yourself! Pre-World War II issues of The Sporting News are very tough to come across.

    GRADING - CONDITION:
    Very fragile vintage newsprint. Stored folded in half horizontally (will also ship that way for safety), thus has a good deal of splitting and chipping at the edges of the fold. Also has light tears and chipping along the spine and the edges. Because of the size and fragility of this item you will have to be careful paging through, as all the little tears are prone to becoming bigger tears if you're not careful. Obviously toned as well. Overall, I'd call this issue G-VG or 3.5/10. Complete.

  • All items that I offer for sale are vintage and date to whichever date is mentioned in the title and/or listing.


  • PAYMENT:
    Payment accepted from the U.S. and around the world through PayPal. Prompt payment expected within a week at most, immediate payment most appreciated. If you require longer than a week feel free to write, I'm pretty loose as long as there's communication.


    SHIPPING NOTES:
    Please see detailed shipping rates in the eBay calculator below.

    If ordering multiple items please request an invoice. I always pull all issues ordered and charge whatever the USPS quote for multiple item orders.

    This vintage oversized issue of The Sporting News will ship folded since that is how it has been stored--it ships safer this way. Magazine will be sent in plastic hobby bag. Attached to a single sheet of cardboard, issue then ships in flattened Priority Box basically affording it a triple layer of cardboard protection--I've been shipping them this way for years, it works.

    I use the USPS for shipping.

    U.S. orders are shipped within two business days of cleared payment by First Class or Priority Mail. Express Mail ships next day.

    Outside the U.S., Priority Mail International orders ship within one business day of cleared payment. First Class International ships out 1-2 times per week.

    I'm known for my expert packing and shipping, please see my feedback for tons of customer satisfaction!
