This is an impressive group of vintage football magazines dating back to the Depression and World War II, a wonderful array of nice condition examples that would make a strong addition to an existing pub collection. The magazines includes some of the great publications from earlier eras like Football Illustrated, Stanley Woodward’s Football, True Football Yearbook and Dell Sports Albums and Stars, among others. The magazines feature many of the biggest names in mostly collegiate football, focusing on a period when the college game was arguably more prominent in the public’s mind than their professional counterpart.
