Frank Robinson 1969 Sports Illustrated

I came across this magazine on Ebay a while ago and although it's a nice Frank Robinson signed piece, what caught my attention was the inside flap which has a picture of Boog Powell.

I am going to be sending in a few items for a Powell signing and thought this would be a great piece to add to.  The PSA sticker on Boog's picture is actually authenticating Frank's autograph on the front.


I love these magazine from the 60's and early 70's. This one also had a great picture of Harmon Killebrew at bat.


I also love the car ads.  This one has several, mostly big boats from the 1970 model year, but has a cool tire ad featuring a Charger, and although the photo is bad due to the centerfold, it has a cool ad for a Buick GS455.



If you ever come across old magazines like this at an antique store or flea market, they're usually worth a few bucks just to page through.  I have a stack of late 60's car magazines with great reviews of "new" cars of the time: Camaros, Mustangs, Firebirds, Road Runners, etc., which are fun to browse through if you have any interest in cars.
