Sport magazine did a magnificent job of profiling the big four North American sports with a large focus on America's National Pastime. Featuring fantastic photography, the magazine had great cover images of the greatest stars of baseball and the other major sports of its era. We offer here a grouping of 29 issues of Sport, mostly from the 1950s with some 1960s issues as well. Issues with great covers include Mickey Mantle (March 1957), Willie Mays (June 1958 and June 1965), Yogi Berra (May 1958), Stan Musial (1952), Ted Williams and Musial (September 1959), Duke Snider (September 1957), Sandy Koufax (February 1964) and Johnny Unitas (December 1959). The July 1955 issue has two pages with photos clipped out. The September 1955 issue with Snider on the cover is missing a clipped photo of Lou Groza. The October 1956 issue with Yogi Berra pictured on the cover has a small photo clipped on Page 49 that does not interfere with the text of the cover article on the following page. Otherwise, all magazines are assumed complete and remain in good condition with expected handling. Also included are four sports LP records, including ones featuring the 1959 L.A. Dodgers, the 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates, the 1984 San Diego Padres, and the 1984 Boston Celtics. Rounding out the lot are three other sports magazines, the 1955 Street and Smith’s with Berra on the cover, a Complete Sports issue with Unitas on the cover, and the March 1972 issue of International Boxing.
