Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Fall 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/20/2022
Featuring the Braves' Eddie Mathews at the plate on the iconic inaugural cover, we have a highly desirable copy of the first issue of Sports Illustrated from 1954, with the Topps baseball card fold-out section intact. Originally snatched off the newsstand by a sport's fan for the princely sum of .25 cents, the 144-page premier issue displays beautifully and remains in high-grade condition, with just some minor handling wear along with a small crease to the bottom left corner of the back cover. The baseball card section remains firmly attached, with absolutely no issues. This is one of the best copies of this hobby classic that we have ever handled.
