Old Beckett, Slam and SI magazines...Any value?

nvd001 · 01-13-2019, 04:04 AM

Is there a market out there for old school Beckett and Slam mags?
I’ve got a stack of them that I rediscovered today going through some old boxes.

Here’s just a few for an example...

I don’t know about the others, but some of the very early Slam magazines have good value, eg $20-$75 each. Not sure about that Jordan issue though. I don’t think it’s worth much, sadly.

This is the only SLAM magazine that I have ever bought.

thewild3, that's one of the better ones (outside of the first ten or so).

The magazines without mailing labels are worth more.

I was offered about $500 (I forget exactly, I think it was more money actually) for just a handful of issues. That was about a year ago.

I turned it down though as I have a complete set of Slam magazines and a small part of me would die if I sold them.

Part of me feels like I kept issue 2 (kemp cover) somewhere but damned if I know where. Can’t believe they are worth money. Though I did remove the SLAMUPS from most of the early issues. The 96 draft class one was legendary and looked amazing on my bedroom door lol
