These look great either thrown up on your teenager / college student's wall or even better framed for the study. "Old School is Now in Session." True."
5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the most well made calendars I've ever seen, January 18, 2011
This review is from: Pennsylvania Quakers 2011 Vintage Football Calendar (Calendar)
This has got to be one of the coolest calendars I've ever seen, let alone owned. I love the nostalgic aspect of the program covers they've chosen. I am not an actual Penn alumnus (didn't much care for the art included in the calendar for my actual alma mater), but I love college football and am from the Philadelphia area. To be fair though, I don't think it really matters whether or not you went to any of the schools for which Asgard produces calendars, because the football themed artwork is just so phenomenal. I would recommend first checking out your school's calendar, and then perusing the others to see which you like best. The best part about these calendars is that Asgard has made the pictures really easy to frame by making them detachable (each page is on a perforated line). However, if you would like to frame any of the pictures, be sure to use a soft-tip pen or marker while marking dates on the calendar, otherwise you'll wind up inadvertently embossing the card stock.
5.0 out of 5 starsUnique & incredibly beautiful calendar!, December 26, 2010
This review is from: House & Garden 2011 Vintage Calendar (Calendar)
This is one of the most beautiful calendars I've owned. I always buy a new [ ] calendar each year, but this is the most unique calendar I've seen in years. Love the fact that the prints, on very heavy paper, are perforated so they can be removed & framed. They're sized to fit standard frames. If you love vintage art, you'll love this calendar!

From the Magazine: 12 Months of Football. For fans and alums, Asgard Press’ vintage football calendars stoke team pride, but the art and history buffs in our office also loved their retro charm and great graphic design. (Plus, they’re printed on 100 percent recycled paper with soy ink.) Each one features illustrations from a dozen game programs, and the selection of schools available is huge. Best of all, Asgard makes new calendars each year for every team, as well as stationery and posters, so you’ll never have to wonder what to get your nephew again.

I saw your vintage football calendars yesterday at Cracker Barrel in Jacksonville, NC and thought they were just about the neatest thing I have seen. Today I ordered the Navy calendar for my Dad for Christmas. Thanks, Jim N., Columbia, SC Dec. 11, 2010 Regarding our Thanksgiving Weekend free calendar giveaway to deployed troops overseas: Just writing to let you know that we started getting the calendars today. I attached a picture with a few smiling faces. Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible, and a very big thank you to Asgard Press! It was a very generous gift to our deployed troops, especially considering each calendar would have cost 18.95 + 3.99 S&H had we paid for them out of pocket. Thanks again, and Merry Christmas!

December 2010 Video review of our Vintage Auburn 2011 calendar by Calendars.com:
Nov. 17, 2010 Regarding our DC and Marvel calendars: "I wanted to add my voice to the positive feedback you've gotten and say that these are definitely the best comics calendars I've ever seen anywhere. I got the Marvel calendar this year and last, and the DC calendar last year and the year before and I love them. I think they complement each other nicely, too, with the DC calendar covering mostly the Golden Age and the Marvel calendar covering the Silver and Bronze Ages. I hope you continue producing these calendars. If you do I will certainly keep ordering them." Stephen

5.0 out of 5 starsCalendar for Your Geeky Self!, January 4, 2012
This review is from: Sci-Fi 2012 Vintage Calendar (Calendar)
I got this calendar last year and happily ordered it again. This is the first time I've ever ordered the same calendar two years in a row. This was just such a fun one to look at. Every time you walk by you notice something different about the pictures. People really stop and ask about it, and it has nice big boxes in which to write all your activities. I'll admit I'm a geek when it comes to calendars and when it comes to sci-fi. This just satisfies all of my calendar desires.

This review is from: Wisconsin Badgers 2012 Vintage Football Calendar (Calendar)
I have gotten a vintage calender by Asgard Press for 4 years now. They have some really great monthly pictures of old program covers. They are terrific for framing and hanging. Any college football fan would like these calenders.
5.0 out of 5 starsThe only likeable pulp, December 21, 2011
This review is from: Sci-Fi 2012 Vintage Calendar (Calendar)
this thing's huge for a calendar, with excellent prints of old sci-fi magazine covers with perforations for removal after each month. think I might frame them all at a later date. excellent all around.
5.0 out of 5 starsA Golden Calendar To Remember, February 5, 2011
This review is from: Sci-Fi 2011 Vintage Calendar (Calendar)
Here in our die hard sci fi household, we absolutely love using this vintage calendar. This is our second year buying one and I have to admit this series is of stellar proportions. Keep in mind; however, it is 11x14 making it a bit larger than most calendars. But, this is for good reason. Each month is detachable; thus, allowing for a perfect piece of framed science fiction antiquity. This larger size is also conducive for writing on the days of the week. It is no problem to do this since the actual days are on the back side of each print. So, once you are ready to frame and display these works, no ink is visible.
These calendars are 100% recyclable. In addition to the 1,005 fully grown trees this saves, it also conserves 460,313 gallons of water, over 300 million btu's of energy. Plus, a great deal of solid waste and greenhouse gases, too. What a product!
My grandmother collected similar books long ago and my mom clearly remembers reading them as a child. What a joy for her to see them again. For me, though, they may be brand new but nevertheless contain a glimpse into the golden age of science fiction. I'm having a premonition that our house will soon be decorated in these numerous prints from the 1930's and '40s.

Would look great in anyone's office or room. Has an old school feel to it and you could frame them individually after the years over. Now what calendar can do that?
5.0 out of 5 starsGorgeous, special vintage norma jeane calendar, January 17, 2011
This review is from: Norma Jeane 2011 Vintage Calendar (Calendar)
I love these vintage norma jeane calendars! I have the first one from 2010 as well, and I liked it so much I decided to buy this one for 2011. The pictures are so crisp and clear with beautiful colors, they are also rare photos and many of them I have not seen before. I love the vintage look, even a bit of "yellowing" on the pages :) A great collectible for any marilyn monroe fan!

This review is from: Clemson Tigers 2011 Vintage Football Calendar (Calendar)
Very nice calendar. Printed on recyled paper so it has a matte vintage feel. The pages are perforated and also double as frameable art once you're done with each month. Very cool. I see nothing wrong with it. 5 stars.
This review is from: Penn State Nittany Lions 2011 Vintage Football Calendar (Calendar)
This is the fourth year I have picked up this calendar, and I still love seeing the old prints, and reading the captions below. Nice calendar that gets a lot of attention in the office.
5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for Framing, January 15, 2011
This review is from: Vintage Sci-Fi 2010 Calendar (Calendar)
Considering this item is a 2010 calendar and is now out of date, is still remains a worthwhile purchase. This collection of reproduced sci-fi magazine covers is a rarity, in my opinion. Where else can you find such an assortment of classic illustrations? All 16 covers are from various magazines, representing the golden age of science fiction. Furthermore, each page is the standard 11 x 14 size, making them perfect to display in a wall frame. Plus, they are made of recycled paper, supporting the cause to save the environment.

This review is from: Colorado Buffaloes 2011 Vintage Football Calendar (Calendar)

5.0 out of 5 starsThe REAL Marvel!, January 1, 2011
This review is from: Marvel Comics 2011 Vintage Calendar (Calendar)
Now THIS is the real deal! Forget that [ ]; this is the only one you'll need, or want! Most of the covers represent the Silver Age, when Stan and Jack (not to mention Gene, and Steve, and Jazzy John) reigned supereme. Happily, there are a couple of Bronze Age covers included. ALL of them represent Marvel when it was the actual House of Ideas. No zombies, no fakes in our heroes suits, no ridiculous "ultimates"...[ ]. This calendar represents an era when comics were FUN first and foremost, when the stories were simple but breathtaking, when the art was done by real artists who slaved to develope their craft, and when the humor went hand-in-hand with the action. And when the year is over you've got 12 (actually 13) wonderful, LARGE sized repos of some of the best Marvel Age covers that are perforated and ready for framing! What better way for a True Believer to enjoy 2011 than with this fantastic calendar. I can't recommend it enough!

This review is from: Texas Longhorns 2009 Vintage Football Program Calendar (Calendar)
Altho this vintage calendar is a cool design for Horns fans, I don't understand why anyone would ship a 2009 calendar in December of 2009. The two calendars I ordered for Christmas gifts were returned for a refund. I would like to replace them with 2010 calendars when available. Hook 'em Horns !!
5.0 out of 5 starsBest Calendar....'Nuff Said! Well I will say more..., December 18, 2009
This review is from: Marvel Comics Super Heroes 2010 Vintage Calendar (Calendar)
This calendar is not only the best comic calendar I've owned, but the best calendar period. Images are much bigger than your average calendar, colors are true to the original books (not re-colored), printed on great paper stock (not glossy, but a nice flat stock that "holds" the colors well rather than reflecting light back in your eye). With all that the pages are perforated so the images can be removed for framing or just to keep. Hope this gets published for years to come!

This review is from: Vintage Norma Jeane 2010 16-Month Marilyn Monroe Calendar (Spiral-bound)
Even though we are 7 months into this 16 month calendar, this was well worth my money. Great pictures of Norma Jean/Marilyn Monroe, and it will go well with the collection of pictures of Norma Jean/Marilyn Monroe that I have found over the years.

This review is from: LSU vs Florida '58 Vintage Football Poster (Perfect Paperback)
I got this for a friend of mine who is such a huge fan of LSU and loves all things vintage and ecletic. Needless to say this was a perfect choice as a gift. Loved the quality and the fact and taken from an orignal homecoming poster used in 1958. Was very excited in regards to this find, and my friend loved it.
5.0 out of 5 starsNorma Jeane Richard Miller Poster, December 4, 2009
This review is from: Marilyn Monroe: ""Norma Jeane: Pools of Blue (Poster)
This is an absolutely beautiful Marilyn Monroe print!! It's actually a poster, but I think it really deserves to be called a print. It's really thick for a poster and of an amazing quality! It's just stunning!! The actual size is about 22" x 28". It's made from 100% recycled paper with soy-based inks, which give it a beautiful texture, and the colors are soo vibrant!! I highly recommend this to any Marilyn Monroe/Norma Jeane fan... this image has never been published before, and the clarity of the picure is incredible considering how long ago it was taken! I'm sure it will be worth a lot of money in the future. I also recommend the Vintage Norma Jeane 2010 calendar from Asgard Press, all previously unpublished images from Richard Miller (which this image is also a part of). Vintage Norma Jeane 2010 16-Month Marilyn Monroe Calendar It's just as gorgeous and of an amazing quality! THANK YOU SO MUCH Asgard Press for making such delicious vintage Norma Jeane piecess!

This calendar is a feast of vintage futurist images... plenty of futurist damsels and aliens and their imaginative space mobiles. Each month is a treat and this also has perferations to make tearing out the images easier. They will make great framed images for the future!

This review is from: Yale Bulldogs 2009 Vintage Football Program Calendar (Calendar)
I purchased this as a Christmas present for my nephew, who is in his first year at Yale University. Although I couldn't be with him over the holidays, it tickled me pink when his mother (my sister) repeated his words upon opening his gift:
"Now this is something I will actually use."
She also told me that the entire family was having fun going through the calandar to see which historical football games made the calendar.
I highly recommend.

This review is from: Michigan State Spartans 2009 Vintage Football Program Calendar (Calendar)
These calendars are of excellent quality and all printed on recycled product which make them all the more irresistible. My only issue is that many of the images are stock graphics with insert your college here, but the original works that do appear, although much less numerous, are really really neat ones. I have purchased the Georgia Tech version two consecutive years, purchased the University of Georgia version as a gift for my brother, and this Michigan State version made an excellent Christmas gift for my grandfather.
This review is from: 2008 Vintage Nebraska Football Calendar (Calendar)
I was iffy about this, because of the other photos. Luckily, this product has exceeded my expectations. I don't know why there are "other views" of this calendar, they aren't from this product. Wish you could see the back!
Some of the other posters, besides the front, are Nebraska - Pittsburgh from 1928, Oregon State vs. Nebraska from 1947, Arizona - Nebraska from 1967, etc. The calendar is spiral bound and states that it is archival quality. Lots of neat artwork. I am buying it for a big Husker fan and think the posters will make nice framed art for his football room.
5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for the Sooner Fan, September 23, 2008
This review is from: 2008 Vintage Oklahoma Football Calendar (Calendar)
You need a narrow interest, but there are millions of college sports fans with that kind of interest. They have a good selection of schools to choose from. The posters are nostalgic without being a bunch of action shots. What can you say that's negative. It's a calendar. All the dates are in the right place. 'nuff said.
