If you see a torn page, just leave it alone. Like comic books, tape is a big no-no for repairing a torn cover or page in a program. Older tape will eventually yellow, and many times loses its adhesiveness, falling off and leaving a sticky residue or otherwise discoloring where it was applied. Another problem to check for is if the staples are loose or missing.

Most collectors will avoid — or pay considerably less for — a program if the prior owner tried to re-attached the cover. Be sure to ask about that. Programs issued during World War II were sometimes printed on cheaper paper, which makes the pages more susceptible to yellowing or signs of aging.

And while writing on a program is also a turn-off, there is one time when it is considered OK: if the inner scorecard of a baseball program is filled out neatly by the original owner, that can actually make a program more collectible than if it was left blank.

Not surprisingly, what works well for keeping a comic book or magazine collection in great condition also works for sports programs. Heat, light and moisture are the biggest enemies of collectibles, so keep sports programs or sports cards, for that matter! Basements and garages, which can sometimes be damp and have vastly fluctuating temperatures, are usually the worst places to house a collection, while a bedroom or hallway closet — or even an attic, if temperature-controlled — is usually perfect.

Memorabilia supply companies like Ultra Pro and BCW make archival-safe magazine-sized bags, acid-free boards and sturdy cardboard boxes that will fit most programs.

If your local sports card shop does not carry these, try a comic book store. BCW also sells a sliding drawer-like magazine box, which you can stack to save space, while also making your program as easy to find as your favorite pair of socks. For odd-shaped items, oversized top loaders — made specifically for magazines and programs — can give your prized possessions a greater level of protection, as they are more rigid than a bag and board combo.

Another way to preserve condition is to take care when handling the program when browsing or reading it. Lay it on a table, but do not flatten it out.

Just as the significance of the game that a program represents can affect its resale value, so too can a nice-looking cover. Programs can also have some fantastic original cover or interior artwork. Even the ads can be fun to look at, as they give a great look at the culture and values of the time that it is from.

Unfortunately — or fortunately, depending how you look at it — there is currently no mainstream price guide for sports programs to serve as a frame of reference, though the older the program is, the higher resale value it generally has. Even old programs in poor shape can sell for thousands of dollars due to scarcity.

It is for this reason that vintage sports programs are not something easily invested in. If you are gearing up for football season, be sure to fill your man cave with Vintage Brand canvases, wall art, coasters and drinkware!
