History and profile
Commonly known as the Yellow Sheet, the magazine was launched in 1925. It was used as a standard for both transacted containerboard pricing (linerboard and medium) and multiple grades of recovered paper stock pricing. It was also used to track linerboard prices as an economic indicator. The magazine was part of Magazines for Industry Inc. In 2009 Mark Arzoumanian was the editor-in-chief of the magazine. The headquarters was in Chicago.

The magazine was acquired by RISI in May 2012. In October 2012 Official Board Markets was merged with its sister magazine PPI Pulp & Paper Week. The last issue of Official Board Markets was dated 30 September 2012.
