Hi collectors,
This certainly seems like an appropriate place to find an answer to
the following;
My Father recently dug up some old Life magazines with ball players on
the covers, I've listed a few of them below. Does anyone know an
approximate value of these (mint) magazines or a publication that could
give me an approximate value?
5/1/39 Joe DiMaggio
9/1/41 Ted Williams
4/1/40 John Rucker
4/25/38 John Winsett
Any help would be most appreciated.

I don't know but ... Hall's Nostagia (617) 646-7757 in Arlington would
know ...they specialize in old mags.
I hope this helps,
Greg

I collect old Mags of Mickey Mantle. I have seen the Ted and Joe D.
at prices from $50 to $125, depending of course on condition. If mint,
I would say your looking at the high end. Of course, you will have to
find a nut like myself who is into collecting old Mags, and is a Joe D.
or Ted W fan. Don't expect a dealer to pay you anywhere close to those
prices though. Mags have not really caught on yet, but someday, they
will be in great demand. Just my observation.

| 331.3 | looks just like new | BCSE::LANOUE | The world needs ditch diggers too you know... | Tue Nov 05 1991 14:21 | 13 |
The Ted Williams one looks like it just came off the stand today,
really is a beautiful item. I told him to hold onto it (maybe I'll
inherit it ;^)), like you said, someday maybe they'll catch on, they've
got to be pretty rare, especially the mint ones.
He also found a couple of the Mickey Mantle/Roger Marris issues, what
are those ones valued at? They're not in as good of condition that
they could be, somewhat faded, a couple of worn/folded corners, etc...
much appreciated!

I have seen these issues going for the following prices at different
nooths during sports shows:
DiMaggio: $90.00
Williams: $75.00
Rucker: not seen
Winsett: $23.00 (actually in an antique shop)
I've also seen the Mantle/Maris covers going for $40 at an antique
shop, but wasn't that an issue of Look magazine ? If you were to sell
to a dealer, I would expect him/her to pay about 50% ofthe above
mentioned prices for the Williams and DiMag, and about $25 for the
Winsett.

I also found a copy of the Winsett in a small antique shop on the
Oregon Coast this past summer for $9, but the price was a fluke, and I
picked it up.
