Bills fan since 87 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 As a teen in the 90s it was one of my premier saurces of info for the Bills. Thankfully we were great and all over the sports world because my subscription usually arrived about a week late up in the ADKs! Still I loved it, had a sizable stack that I collected....and eventually lost as the years went by. Anyone know where I might be able to find some old issues for a fair price? I just see two on eBay, one the inaugural issue for $30, and another that appears to be the issue after we lost 52-17 in the Beebe Superbowl. So no to that. for nastolgia I would love to get my hands on a few random issues. Adding them to the Bills shrine of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 This one on Ebay, with some other stuff, is going for a whopping ninety-nine cents. Has Jimbo on the cover. Seems to be in nice condition. Could be framed.

Bills fan since 87 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 That's the one I referenced. It seems the title says "what was that?" And Kelly is getting hit by a Cowboy. Thinking that's an issue I don't want to relive, gotta be the SB loss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Bill Digest come after this? I remember getting it and taking it to my dad when I was done. You’d have thought it was an organ he needed transplanted.

Dan Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I loved my Shout! For a time, it was the best source of Bills news... Albiet a week late! I dropped my subsription not long after finding this place. I still have a few old issues, I'm sure, burried in a box after a multitude of moves. I used to wrap my glasses/plates in them for packing.. Just so I could see the Bills highlights for years after we moved. I'd bet money I still have some form the early 90's wrapped in a box tucked away under a friend's house. Why it hasn't been unpacked since then is another story....

Punching Bag Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Bookstore near Grevey's in Falls Church which was the hot Bills bar in Superbowl era had them. I'd buy it before going into bar. Many people would see it and realize it was this weeks paper and ask who in Buffalo sent them to me. Most of the time the asking people had reserved tables and Grevey's would not make them gave up seats until halftime so my response was "One of the guys standing over there (pointing to area they could not see) has a relative who works in publishing and sends him 10 copies only but he usually sells them to people in standing room only". Most were clueless it was a dig on them saving seats each week for imaginary friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Búfalo Blanco Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I used to read those cover to cover.

Shout became Bills Digest. This year I bought a digital subscription to Bills Digest. Unlike Shout, they do 1 every 2-3 weeks & not every week during the season. I used to subscribe by mail & then when I stopped I could get a copy around Albany. A few years ago they stopped selling the paper in Albany. I noticed they still print them & saw them in Tops when I was in Buffalo this weekend. Edited November 1, 2019 by Albany,n.y. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIZ Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I remember that I first found out that we signed Bryce Paup via my Shout magazine. Didn't have Empire Sports or even ESPN. Didn't have internet. I still have a few of these Shout mags. I think I have one with a Marv Levy milestone noted on the cover. I think I also have a Bill Insider magazine. Saving these for my "Bills Room" if I ever get one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started going to Grevey's in 1991 before they had Sunday Ticket, and had to use the huge satellite dish to manually find the games. Some fun times and memorable games there. Why did this thread get moved to "Off the Wall?" Jeeziz, it's specifically a Bills-related topic.

The Jokeman Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) I worked or should say volunteered working for Shout's website in the latter years. It truly was a two man operation as when Mike and Larry weren't writing it was tough because I couldn't get press credentials so had to follow local news broadcasts for information etc. in order to get stuff for the page. Yet it was fun offering opinion pieces during the off-season on draft and free agency etc. On 10/30/2019 at 7:43 PM, Augie said: I’ll need to save up, but I hope it’s still available when I can scratch it together!

holla83 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 My 7th grade English teacher had a son that worked in advertising, or something along those lines, for Shout. His name appeared in the credits in the back. Anyway, my teacher would get free issues from his son and eventually pass them along to me, knowing I was a Bills fan. Eventually my mom got me a subscription for Christmas. I think I still have the comeback issue and Kelly and Levy's retirement issues packed away somewhere.
