Some of the magazines that make this hobby fun.Beware of reprints being passed off as authentic, ones such as X-marks the spot .The real one has the cover with the wrinkled feel and look on the cover.expect to pay about $70 U.S for one in good condition. X-marks the spot was written by reporter Hal Andrews and was forcibly removed by Capone henchmen at newstands. Hal had chosen to remain anonymous which was a wise choice.
Other interesting mags feature Capone on a Time magazine in 1930 (Sort of beats Gotti by 60 years).A gangster on Time in those days was unheard of.This Mag in good condition can fetch up to $200.Chicago Gangland is by James O'Donnell Bennett a crime reporter who printed info when these tough guys were around.He was a tough reporter who said it like it was with features in newspapers for all to see.Life of Al Capone in Pictures was another take on Hal Andrews x-marks the spot rehashed, with a few new pics.This item in good condition can fetch $175.The trial of Al Capone, Robert Ross's book on Al's trial. This book can fetch $70 in good condition. Al Capone on the Spot by Richard T. Enright.This book is now reprinted as Capone's Chicago.The original is about $60 to $70.
