Item Description

The first issue ever released, over 70 years ago on August 16, 1954! It shows well for its' age, not perfect but solid and complete. What adds lots of value are 2 factors: 1- the original mailer is present. 2- The 3-sheet insert with all 27 baseball cards is firmly affixed and present. The cards are all in very good overall condition, with bright colors. Lots of Hall of Famers present- Willie Mays, Ed Matthews, Duke Snider, Wally Moon, Gil Hodges, Jackie Robinson and Ted Williams [amongst others]. In high grade, this premiere issue commands THOUSANDS of dollars. Though lower in grade, this copy represents the beginning of an important and long-running sports magazine.
