Many thanks to those who responded to my post as well as to Sage reps who
reached out to me.
Sage has restored my library's access to Psychological Reports (0033-2941)
from 1955. I told them I have 2 other Sage non-packaged titles in the same
situation and they would look in to those.
Last but not least, I still think it is helpful to have journals years of
coverage in license agreements. Otherwise, the only record of years would
be cataloging/OpenURL records, as library side of record.
