The TV Guide, distributed throughout the USA, is commonly seen on Ebay, and there are several that mention Lassie. Some rarer TV guides have also been sold on Ebay, which were distributed by local newspapers. These may have a different title. The Australian Ebay site occasionally has TV guides or magazines with Lassie photos and articles, too.
Another site to find magazines or TV guides (and other collectibles) on is the Collectibles Channel on GoAntiques. Type Lassie in the Keywords field and hit return for results.
Below are a few examples of the rarer TV guides.
The Chicago Daily Tribune issued TV Week. Pictured is one of the few colour photos you will find of Tommy Rettig (Jeff Miller) with Lassie. This is the January 26 - February 1, 1957 issue of TV Week.
This weekly magazine pictured is the May 16 - 22, 1965 issue of TV Times, with Robert Bray (Corey Stuart) and Lassie (Baby) on the cover. It was distributed by the Los Angeles Times.
The March 3 - 10, 1972 issue of TV Showtime has a beautiful photo of the Holden family - Ron Hayes (in green), Joshua Albee (with Lassie - Hey Hey), Skip Burton (in white), and Larry Wilcox. The Cleveland Press issued this paricular TV guide.
Occasionally photos from Lassie crop up in dog magazines. As an example, the Dog Fancy magazine, January 1999 issue has a photo from Lassie Come Home.
