Almost unprecedented opportunity to compile a near-complete run (71) of the popular Street & Smith's annual baseball magazine, in mostly EX-MT to NM-MT condition, and extraordinary accumulation that presents about as uniformly as such a lengthy run could aspire. Even the earliest specimens from the 1940's present in a condition neatly matched with the later years, probably EX-MT with occasional instances of corner wear or shipping. The first issue in 1941 is not included, but 1942-47 are all in top condition and largely problem free. The 1950s run is missing 1952 and 1954 and includes blazing examples from keys in 1950 and 1953, along with a Don Larsen autograph and "10-8-56" inscription added. There are 13 magazines, some Ex-Mt but most NM-MT, in the 1960s - all years included - with three different covers from 1963 and two different in 1964). The 1970's are essentially NM-MT or even better, with different covers in 1970, 1973, 1974, 1975 and 1979 (3). Fourteen (14) magazines appear in the 1980s in same blazing high grades, counting different covers in 1982, 1983, 1985 and 1989. The 1990's grouping is NM-MT to MINT and unimprovable, with extra covers from 1991, 1996 and 1997.
