Recently, a friend gave me a box of old Huskers publications – vintage Sports Illustrated issues, media guides, game programs, and more – with the direction that I “find a good home for it”.
This happened around the same time that I started gathering donations for the JDRF “One Walk” to end Type 1 Diabetes in October. My youngest daughter is a Type 1 diabetic, and we walk to support her and combat this deadly disease.
So I figured let’s combine the two with a drawing. Here’s how it works:
- For every $5 donated to JDRF at http://www2.jdrf.org/goto/feitcanwrite, I’ll put your name in the hat. Donate $100, and your name goes in 20 times.
- On Saturday, October 1, my daughter will draw a name out of the hat.
- If you win, I’ll contact you to arrange shipping (paid by me).
So what could you win?
Here are the highlights:
- A total of six copies of the various Sports Illustrated collector’s editions after the 1994, 1995, & 1997 Championships.
- A 1972 Sports Illustrated with Nebraska on the cover
- Two other National Championship magazines
- 1997 Football media guide
- Seven Nebraska Men’s Basketball media guides from the 70s, 80s, and 90s
- Miscellaneous Husker game programs (mostly men’s basketball)
- Other NU sports media guides from 1973 – 1983.









Judging by eBay listings, the Sports Illustrated issues are probably worth a minimum of $50.
Again, to participate in the drawing, donate $5 or more to JDRF at http://www2.jdrf.org/goto/feitcanwrite
