Parade Magazine Featuring Johnny Sain April 24 1949 Appraisal

Parade Magazine featuring Johnny Sain, April 24, 1949

This item is a copy of Parade Magazine, specifically the Sunday Picture Magazine supplement to The Sunday Pioneer Press of St. Paul, Minnesota. The cover features a color photograph of a baseball pitcher in uniform, identified as "BOSTON'S JOHNNY SAIN". The headline asks "How many pitchers will win 20 games this year? - See page 18". The date of publication is clearly visible on the bottom right of the cover as "April 24, 1949". The magazine is printed on typical newspaper stock, which is evident in its texture and the visible folds. There is a noticeable fold line across the center of the magazine, and the corners appear slightly dog-eared, consistent with age and handling. The colors on the cover are still relatively vibrant, although there might be some slight fading or discoloration due to age. The edges show some minor wear and tear. Despite the wear, the printing is legible, and the image of Johnny Sain is clear.
