August 09, 2025 - The December 1996 issue of Sports Illustrated for Kids, published on December 1, 1996, is best known for containing the now-iconic Tiger Woods rookie card. The magazine itself followed the familiar SI for Kids format, with colorful articles, puzzles, and sports features aimed at young readers. Bound inside was a perforated 9-card uncut sheet featuring various athletes from different sports. One of these was the Tiger Woods card, depicting the then 20-year-old golf prodigy in mid-swing, shortly after turning professional and beginning his meteoric rise. Printed on thin card stock with dotted perforations for easy removal, the Woods card is considered one of the most valuable modern sports cards due to its rarity in high grade—since most were torn from the sheet by children and suffered creases or edge damage. This combination of a kid-focused sports magazine and a rookie card insert of a future golf legend has made the December 1996 issue a sought-after collectible in its own right.

62 pages plus covers, standard size, side stapled. Full color interior photos and several full color, full page photos.

Air Progress Magazine saw its first issue hit the stands in January 1937. Initially, it was published every three months (quarterly) until 1962. In 1962, its frequency was increased to bi-monthly. It became a monthly publication in 1966. In October 1995, it changed it's name to Air Progress Affordable Flying, but reverted to Air Progress in November 1996. It ceased publication in June 1997 (Vol.59 No.2).

TRASH OR TREASURE?
 The pre-1950 issues are fairly scarce and have some minor interest to aviation memorabilia collectors, but even 1930s issues sell for less than $10 each, and even then only when in "almost like new" condition. Issues from the years after 1950 are very common and can be found for sale on eBay in lots of 12 (entire year) for less than $10 (or less than $1 per issue).
