My parents thought I was nuts in that there was nothing valuable or even interesting
in keeping old TV guides. I still have them. A bit over 120 dating 1956-through part of 1958.
That is great! Do you ever look at them or are they in storage?

That's pretty impressive! The Elvis one alone would be worth a lot to a collector.
The 9/14/1957 "Fall Preview 1957-1958 Shows, Photograph Arthur Williams, is considered a standout, as well.
I just recalled it's the week my best friend was born, too!
Not that I expect you to go searching, but I have to ask, why was this the week to watch TV?

I'm impressed you have all these, would be great to see them!
