From my magazine (historical) related collection:

  • The Madison Square Garden boxing program dated February 12, 1965 (50¢). My brother and I went to see Rubin "Hurricane" Carter fight Luis Rodriguez in a 10 rounder (Rodriguez won). (It was a year later that Carter was charged with the death of two people in a bar and was immortalized in a song by Bob Dylan). The program was signed by Rocky Graziano (on the cover) who was sitting near us and by Emile Griffith (inside under a picture of him fighting Luis Rodriguez) - Griffith wrote "My Best Fight - Emile Griffith".
  • The May, 1969 issue of "Sport" magazine comemorating 100 years of baseball (50¢).
  • 20th Annual Anniversary issue of "Playboy"; Jan 1974, $1.50
  • 25th Annual Anniversary issue of "Playboy"; Jan 1979, $3.00

  • "Time" magazine issues dated July 4, 1776 (really 1976) and Sept. 29, 1789 (really 1976) ($1.00 each); they were special bicentennial issues with Thomas Jefferson and George Washington on their respective covers. Both issues reported on stories and events of their day. (Very interesting for history buffs).
