@tohardtoocall @THACardStory Yeah, its about the same size as the old Life magazines. My understanding is that the Star was a supplement in the Toronto newspaper. I got this a couple years back and I haven't seen one online since.

I know they ended up losing, but this goal was utterly epic and Cape Verde went toe to toe with an elite team all the way until the end. A masterful performance by a team that no one thought could get anywhere near this far.

@tohardtoocall @CGC_SI About 3 years ago I bought this 1954 Sport magazine with Ted Kluszewski because the antique mall had nothing worthy in baseball cards. After I saw the color photos and articles, I got hooked. That started the journey into several rabbit holes in discovering forgotten publications

This is Sandy Koufax and his 1st Sports Illustrated cover from March 3, 1963. I’m cleaning and pressing this copy for a fellow collector. This issue is crazy condition sensitive item with all the dark ink. You can see the bends that have been caused by the small subscription insert cards on the interior pages. All gone now! This fix easily gives an extra 1.0 bump in grading. My new grade projection for this piece is 8.0.

@CGC_SI @PressingContent I call a technical foul - there are 2 Jordan's in your Mt Rushmore 😉. I would add the 1947 Time Jackie Robinson magazine

@CGC_SI @darrenrovell I am sure @SportsMags has a spreadsheet comparing pop counts between magazines and cards.

Fresh off the record setting $328,000 sale of a PSA 9.6 newsstand copy of this issue, I’m cleaning and pressing this Mickey Mantle 1st Sports Illustrated cover from 1956. This one won’t be worth anywhere near $328,000, but it will get a better grade now that I’m done with it. Writing on magazines can be tricky, many times it’s just best to leave it on there. This was not one of those times. The pencil marking came off nicely!

We have a new record price for a sports magazine. This 1956 Mickey Mantle first appearance in Sports Illustrated (the highest graded copy in PSA 9.6) just sold in @GoldinCo for $328,180. It beats the previous record by nearly $100,000 -- Michael Jordan's SI debut from 1982 -- which sold $229,360 in March, also at Goldin.

The record has been broken! Despite being set just a couple of months ago at $236,000, this copy of Sports Illustrated featuring Mickey Mantle’s 1st cover appearance from 1956 is already at $242,780 (w/ buyers premium) with more than a day still to go on the auction. @GoldinCo is the auction house, link to the item in the comments. What do you think the final price will be?
