Welcome to my Sports Illustrated/TIME magazine blog – Your collector’s guide to the latest hobby updates and insight into what’s trending now.
 
Today we have a fun topic.  Jordan, James, Brady.  Who doesn’t love collecting these guys?  The fun in collecting these G.O.A. T’s is that they are easily attainable unlike earlier vintage stuff.  Their covers number 50, 25, and 20, respectively.  What a fun trek.

Many hobbyists have taken to complete the highest registry subset possible and they haven’t needed to break the bank to do it.  Although difficult to find, CGC 9.8’s are available and sometimes even come up for public auction.  I get charged up just thinking about owning a 9.8 in one of these icons.

This is a great time to start/continue a collection of one or all of these generational talents as they are all still relatively affordable.  I suspect, in a year or two, that won’t be the case.  And don’t be limited to Sports Illustrated.  SPORT and SLAM, with others, have solid entries in this arena and will rival SI in time, if they don’t already.

Magazines are so much more esthetic and presentational.  The stories they tell bring you back to when the events were live and you can almost taste the hotdogs and feel the same emotions you felt when you read about or experienced them firsthand, for the first time.

The question is “what are these covers worth in the highest grade?”  In my opinion, in today’s market, a Jordan, James, or Brady CGCG 9.8 common should start at roughly $1000 and go up from there depending age and/or event.  James and Brady first covers are readily available which keeps their buy price down but don’t count on that for long.  Iconic collectables tend to make huge jumps in price when they start to move.

Pricing on CGC 9.8 mag covers are constantly accelerating.  Every month you don’t sell your 9.8, its value has not just increased, it has accelerated.

I hope you are enjoying the reads on the history of SI, SPORT, and TIME magazines as well as an insight into relevant magazine collecting.

Great collecting to you in our second century of blogs and best fortunes with Sports Illustrated/SPORT magazines.

Welcome to my Sports Illustrated/TIME magazine blog – Your collector’s guide to the latest hobby updates and insight into what’s trending now.   By now I’m confident the entire hobby is keenly aware that an SI sold in public auction for $32,400 several weeks ago making the two highest public auctions for graded SI’s to be the 81 Gretzky CGC 9.4 ($30,000) and the 64 Koufax CGC 9.8.   This blog will focus on what we can learn as a result of the Koufax event.   In collecting vintage (pre 1980) graded magazines for fun and/or profit, your first consideration should be condition.  The hobby is excited over the Koufax event but be careful in what we learn.  It’s not about the price.  It’s about the condition.    Case in point, although the Koufax was well received, I can think of 50 vintage mag covers I would prefer having a CGC 9.8 over the Koufax.  And please don’t misinterpret what I am saying.  I am not disparaging the Koufax but its superlative condition is the major contributing factor in its sell price.  It’s a second tier cover.  If a second tier cover goes for $32,400, what would a 9.8 first tier cover be worth?  We have not seen that type of buying/selling event yet in our hobby.  For example, I predict a 9.8 68 Rose would go for more than $100,000.  Likewise, Bird, Ryan, Namath, Clemente, Maris, Brown, Nicklaus, Unitas, and many others all have that potential.  The reason for the confidence behind my prediction is that there will only be ONE!  That’s what “whale” collectors like.  In my grading experience over the past 10 years, I have seen only one vintage CGC 9.8 between the years July 1956 and December 1980.  Given there may be 2 or 3 not publically advertised, that’s not very many – few enough to extinguish any expectation of ever owning one without significant resources.   I spend a concentration of time within the vintage years of our collecting hobby.  I’d like to think I have a pretty good handle regarding ongoing vintage developments as well as overall graded status.    Here are some of my broad characterizations on the vintage era of our hobby.   1. Early SI’s (8/54 thru 6/56) are more durable and capable of withstanding time related wear issues than subsequent issues.  This includes some of the most iconic SI releases ever – Mantle, Mays, #1, #2, 1st Swimsuit, and many HOF baseball players.  I predict, in time, all of these issues will count a 9.8 among their ranks.   2. Dark Era Issues (7/56 thru 12/69) are more sensitive to time related wear issues than earlier vintage SI’s.  The CGC census of graded mags from this era supports this supposition.    The real question is “by how much is the condition adversely effected?”  In my opinion, a 9.4 or a 9.6 from this era will most likely never be beat.  I don’t expect any more 9.8’s from this group, EVER, with the exception of the occasional outlier (one per year).  Not sure what happened in the Koufax 9.8 event but a cursory inspection of the mag in the encapsulation shows imperfections that normally would have taken the grade to 9.2 or maybe 9.4.  That’s my opinion.  I’d love to hear other opinions on this.   3. Later vintage (1970 thru 1979) issues have the same sensitivity issues to wear as the dark era except to a bit lesser extent – maybe due to their younger age.  Condition expectations from this era should mirror dark era expectations except a 9.4 in this group has a slightly greater chance of being beaten than a 9.4 in the dark era group.   High grade, vintage, ungraded, newsstand SI’s are so scarce that when they come to public auction, a $10 value 5 years ago, will often eclipse $1000.   In summary, vintage, high grade, newsstand, Sports Illustrateds make hens teeth look like a commodity.  Don’t be surprised by whale-like buying when the real first tier, none higher, POP One issues hit the auction block.  I predict, in time, some of these issues will be priced equally or even HIGHER than the TOPPS 52 Mantle – YES – Millions!  More esthetics, more history, better presentation and best of all, there will be ONLY ONE!   Feel free to submit any questions/comments you may have on these subjects to [email protected] .     I hope you are enjoying the reads on the history of SI, SPORT, and TIME magazines as well as an insight into relevant magazine collecting.

Welcome to my Sports Illustrated/TIME magazine blog – Your collector’s guide to the latest hobby updates and insight into what’s trending now.   Graded mag lead times have become purely a business decision and not reflective of actual manufacturer capabilities.    Consider the facts.  Three years ago, lead times for modern and economy levels were approximately 8 weeks.  1. During February 2020, lead times expanded from 8 weeks to 1 year.  In the time since, there have been promises of new equipment, new hiring, new processes, better quality shipping and improved customer services all in the name of more responsive customer performance. As of today, lead times for modern and economy submissions are 259 days or broken down as follows…   259 days to grade + 122 days weekends and holidays + 7 days ship in days + 30 days to open and record submission + 7 days ship out days = 425 days (1.2 years),   approximately the same lead time as 3 years ago.  425 days if shipment is made on time – you decide how often that happens.   What can we conclude from the facts above?  With all the promises of change and the passage of 3 years, deliveries haven’t improved one single day.  Why would things change when the manufacturer can charge and you will pay four times the long term submission levels – $150 for a walk thru submission and $85 for a standard submission?   It’s purely a business decision.   This is a big deal for any business.  Speaking for myself, I rarely submit modern or economy because waiting 1.2 years for a mag to be graded is just not sustainable.  So my only real options are to pay for expedited services and the manufacturer knows it.    Given this scenario, why would a manufacturer work to lower lead times?  I maintain they wouldn’t.  That’s my opinion but I’ll let you, my readers, decide for yourselves as to whether or not you believe improving manufacturing deliveries have been the real focus.   Further, I believe that all available operational services are dedicated to expedited services first and long term services if and when they are available.    Even with that focus, my last three walk thru submissions were quoted on the website to ship in three days.  They actually shipped in 12, 22, and my most recent submission hasn’t moved in 10 days.  For this service, I paid four times the cost of non-expedited services. Service in this manner should result in exponentially increasing profit margins.  Why change anything???   Here’s what a manufacturer can do with the right incentive.    Pressing Services used to be a 365 day lead time.  Currently they are 4-15 days.  Why do you think the same manufacturer could make this stunning improvement?  It’s because the hobby now offers a plethora of outside individual pressing operations with two week turnaround times at one-third the cost which has lead the manufacturer to make a business decision to compete or die.   I also believe that none of these current practices will change without competition.  Again, why would they?  For the first year, it’s a shame on you situation.  For the past two years, it’s a shame on me.  Maybe we’re finally getting it.   Feel free to submit any questions/comments you may have on these subjects to [email protected] .     I hope you are enjoying the reads on the history of SI, SPORT, and TIME magazines as well as an insight into relevant magazine collecting.

Sports Illustrated Blog #104 – High Value Pricing Explained

Welcome to my Sports Illustrated/TIME magazine blog – Your collector’s guide to the latest hobby updates and insight into what’s trending now.   High Value Pricing – Why is it such a mystery?  Why do so many sellers price in such a way that only makes sense to them?   It’s a frequent question asked of me and a topic of particular interest to most graded mag hobbyists.  So…This blog will explain my pricing criteria and thought process in an attempt to help buyers understand the driving forces behind High Value Pricing.   First, let’s define a HV magazine.  I suggest any magazine with a tier one athlete (usually a first appearance) with a very high or highest census grade, tough acquisition compared to others in its category, and one highly perceived to be of above average investment potential.   The driving force behind the pricing of such mags is “not to leave any money on the table, both now and in the future” and that’s a tough task but I think it is consistent across the population.  When sellers make maximizing their sell prices their number one consideration, inflationary pricing occurs.  Just like the stock market, if it sells at one price, raise it.  If it sells at the raised price, raise it again until it stops selling.  Sellers hate to sell at one price, only to see it double in value in 30 days.  It’s a conundrum.    It’s also important to remember that we are not dealing in sustainable inventories.  Many times these mags are one of a kind so you need to be right the first time making it best to err on the high side.  The lack of comparables also contributes to pricing inconsistencies.    I’m not saying I agree with this method of pricing, but I am saying that’s the general thought process.  So when researching a HV magazine, keep in mind there’s a very reasonable chance the seller is just feeling out the market and would entertain some negotiating, with respect.   My Blog # 104 thru Mailchimp (let me know if you would like to added to the distribution) will list a collection of HV mags from my inventory.  Some are posted on EBay, some are not.  If you are interested in any of these mags, mail me at [email protected] and let me know what you thinking with regard to price.  I am a serious seller and am in the business to sell, not collect.  Maybe you can work that to your advantage.   Feel free to submit any questions/comments you may have on these subjects to [email protected] .     I hope you are enjoying the reads on the history of SI, SPORT, and TIME magazines as well as an insight into relevant magazine collecting.

Welcome to my Sports Illustrated/TIME magazine blog – Your collector’s guide to the latest hobby updates and insight into what’s trending now.   In 2022, CGC issues hit their highest mark on some of the most coveted SI issues in the hobby and the frequency with which this has taken place is remarkable.  CGC 9.8 grades of any year or issue are no small feat yet this year has produced 9.8’s on the 84 Jordans, other later Jordans, 86 Tyson, 96 Manning, 14 Messi, 03 James SLAM, 80 Olympic Hockey, and just as many others.  In addition, grades continue to creep ever higher on most other major issues of interest – 56 Mantle (tied), 75 Ryan, 86 Renaldo, 91 Shaq, 90 Sanders, 77 Bird, most later Jordans/Johnsons/Birds/Bradys/James, etc etc etc.   My apologies to the many new and superior grades I have not included above but the point is upward movement of the most valuable issues is still, even at this late date, not only possible, but probable.  Still looking for a 9.8 56 Mantle, 77 Bird and 83 Jordan.   A surprising element of this upward movement is how much of it can be attributed to just three collectors.  I have had a relationship with CGCsportsillustratedking, Lou McCollum, for approximately two years, and in that time, he has amassed a collection that qualifies him, in my playbook, as the current SI King.  He posts his new grades on Instagram and a check of his recent postings will confirm his place at the top.  It’s amazing to me, in that we all have the same opportunity to find and procure new issues, that he has so convincingly outperformed the entire hobby.    CGCsportsillustrated/Jim Kehoe and Dan Pingree are not far behind.  They both also post on Instagram while Jim hosts a random “Box Opening” podcast and bi-monthly meeting with interested collectors.  Their current contributions to significant issue upgrades are considerable.  I know sources are strictly kept secret but I’ve been thinking of following them around to see if some of their brilliance will rub off.   These three have proven that “finds” are out there.  Very infrequently, if you are diligent in your efforts, you will overturn the right stone but they seem to be able to consistently outperform the odds.   One sector of the hobby that has not changed is the rarity of the 60’s high grade newsstands.  Even though CGC grades are creeping upward, that is not true for SI newsstands between 1959 thru 1969.  I know of no major issue that has increased during that era in 2022.   So there you have it.  Our hobby still produces grade improvements keeping our most avid collectors on their toes.  It’s a fun time to be a graded magazine collector.   Feel free to submit any questions/comments you may have on these subjects, as my contact add-on is now working.   I hope you are enjoying the reads on the history of SI, SPORT, and TIME magazines as well as an insight into relevant magazine collecting.

Sports Illustrated Blog #102 – 2023 State of the Hobby

Welcome to my Sports Illustrated/TIME magazine blog – Your collector’s guide to the latest hobby updates and insight into what’s trending now.   It’s been about a year since my last “State of the Hobby” blog. Much has changed in 12 short months from values to interests to growth of the hobby itself.  Let’s review a variety of the most, in my opinion, significant events influencing our hobby today over one year ago.   The first and perhaps the most influential event is the change in values, perceived or otherwise, graded or raw.  I believe many of us are watching the daily sales/auctions events like we watch the stock market, or the clock.  Every uptick in actual sold sales, is a good thing for our collection and for our hobby – right?  The answer to that is – in the long term yes, in the short term maybe.  The reason for my reserved optimism is that I think there are certain pitfalls that accompany short term unrealistic expectations.   By unrealistic expectations I mean making the assumption that a sale of one item automatically adjusts across the market.  Many things go into the foundation of each sale – cover athlete, esthetics, scarcity, date, timing, demand, and many more subtleties not expressed.  Therefore, the sale of one doesn’t necessarily translate to the sale of another although, the interest is always is to maximize every opportunity.  This process feeds on itself until sale prices inflate to the point of implosion or market correction.  We are now at the leading edge of that event.   But also know, Cadillacs never go into recession.     I see no problem with unrealistic pricing, as long as those buying have an informed knowledge of the market – which may be difficult in a fledgling environment.    Consequently, I suspect those showing temperance in their value expectations will do very well going forward because the hobby is still very investment worthy and buyer population is growing.  Those with short term, unrealistic expectations will have a more difficult time establishing trust and therefore will more likely be part of the correction.  I’ve seen this before.  A few will try to piggyback on the success of the pioneers but you, as an educated buyer, know who to trust.  Best bet is to stay with those you trust and have done right by you in the past.  References are helpful as well.   Social media is really supporting hobby interest and growth.  There are videos, blogs, podcasts, etc, Jim Kehoe and Bradley Griffith are two amazing contributors.  Please look them up.  They’re awesome.  I highly recommend.  You can now get great pressing work from a variety of reputable agents in a matter of weeks instead of years.  Opinion articles will give you a more in depth understanding of trends and pitfalls from a cross section of authors.  Much of this stuff wasn’t available one year ago.   After another year, our hobby still needs more buyers.  To me, it seems the resourceful buyers are quite content with their collections until something new and interesting comes up for auction or a new record breaker appears in the CGC census.  I believe our hobby is in the first generation of a multi-generational journey.  We still need more resourceful buyers, more willing sellers of top grade specimens, and time for all this to deliver a consistency we feel we can trust.  You’ll see how this works when two resourceful buyers want the same specimen.   Overall, I think it’s been a really good year.  I’m pleased with how things are progressing including the speed with which they are progressing.  We always want good things to come quickly but when you’re least expecting it, that’s when we’ll see a break through.   Feel free to submit any questions you may have on these subjects, as my contact add-on is now working.   I hope you are enjoying the reads on the history of SI, SPORT, and TIME magazines as well as an insight into relevant magazine collecting.

Welcome to my Sports Illustrated/TIME magazine blog – Your collector’s guide to the latest hobby updates and insight into what’s trending now.    SI 1954’s and the “Dark Era” period are mysterious, surprising and very collectable and here’s why. 1954 SI’s have a particular allure to many SI collectors.  Its 20 issues comprise year one, beginning with two of the most popular of all issues – #1 – Night Baseball with Hall of Famer Eddie Matthews and #2 – the first Masters review with the exclusive Mantle card (Mantle did not have a TOPPS card in 1954).  These first two issues also start the printed baseball card set (4 mag set, 70 cards, with the 1955 Mays and Rosen issues), a novel approach to card collecting and very popular even today.   With issue #3 appears the first swimsuit cover (later to be popularized as a yearly event), again, very popular in its own right.  Next, issues #4 thru #14, are a series of commons – horses, football, rodeo, car racing, hunting, fishing, covering the perceived topics of interest of the day.    The final 6 issues, #15 thru #20, mostly mundane subjects with the exception of issue #15 – Y. A. Tittle, are printed in short series meaning they are significantly shorter runs AND printing quality suffers – two reasons why few high quality covers have ever been graded.  A high grade, high series cover, is probably 10 times scarcer than earlier issues. 1954 SI’s can be found in singles or sets at very reasonable costs considering age other unique factors.  I have the highest 1954 registry for sale as well as many middle grade singles and all raw issues.   What is “Dark Era” print?  To be very clear, “dark era” print is a term that I invented and copyrighted 10 years ago, to label a period of time in Sports Illustrated printing chronology that has produced a lesser percentage of high grade covers due to inferior printing processes and materials.  It is not a term that Sports Illustrated uses to describe this era’s distribution. From many 1000’s of samples, I have pinpointed this era to begin with issue July 11, 1956 and running thru December 31, 1969.  The years between 1959 and 1961 are notable as being the worst of the worst.  Issues such as Aparicio, Unitas, Brown and Maris are specific examples of printing that just haven’t held up over time.   Any high grade cover during this period carries with it a premium in value over comparable covers outside this era.  For this reason Maris, Unitas, and Brown are a few of the most prized high grade, collectable, and sought after SI issues over its 75 year history. The only way to beat a CGC 8.0 is to find a cover which had been shelved since its printing, and never distributed or read.   Feel free to submit any questions you may have on these subjects, as my contact add-on is now working.

Sports Illustrated Blog #98 – The Next Big Thing Welcome to my Sports Illustrated/TIME magazine blog – Your collector’s guide to the latest hobby updates and insight into what’s trending now.    Congratulations to all SI believers.  Your hobby has come of age.  Currently, there are 220,000, yes 220,000, individual Sports Illustrated auctions currently on ebay alone.  With the hobby developments of the past year, my customers have experienced a serious upgrade in the value of their investments/collections.   But, at the same time, your well-kept secret is out.  Graded SI’s are the darling of the graded mag hobby but that could be bad news if you’re still looking to jump in.  Everybody loves the concept, esthetics, and investment potential of SI.  Following Ebay, Heritage and other graded auctions, record sales are being recorded every month.  Good for those who have, not so good for those who have not.   But when one door closes, another opens and that is what this blog is all about.  Approximately five years ago, I was a voice in the wilderness, crying out to the collectability of Sports Illustrated.  In the beginning there were few believers but interest has steadily grown.  Now we have raw mags routinely selling above $500 each and the scarcity of vintage newsstand is no longer a secret.  The word is out.   As SI grows in popularity, I hear and read many collectors/investors are totally committed to SI, which leaves a whole spectrum of other opportunities open for those not so narrowly focused.   Let’s talk SPORT (and there are others), for example.  Do you like first covers?  Compared to SI, SPORT magazine has the first Mantle, Mays, Musial, Aaron, Clemente, Williams, DiMaggio, Maris, Chamberlain, Unitas, and on and on and on.  These vintage covers are just as iconic as SI.  Here’s a few must haves for the post war collector – 46 DiMaggio, 48 Robinson, 47 Williams, 48 Musial, 53 Mantle, 55 Mays, 56 Mantle, 51 Berra, 53 Cousy, and there are plenty more.   This is an opinion blog so here goes.  I love Sports Illustrated.  SI has been a great investment for me but….. with all its success, it’s getting expensive.  If you are like me, shelling out $500 for a raw mag can be a bit draining and is more risk than I would like to take on.  For me, it’s time to head in a different direction.   And that direction is SPORT magazine and my prediction is this – SPORT magazine WILL follow the SI lead.   As SI grows (and it will continue to grow and become less affordable to the average collector), other pubs will fill the void.  Who wouldn’t want to own the first issue of DiMaggio in the highest grade?  And the list goes on.   In my next few blogs, I will explain why SPORT is, not only a good investment, but a great investment.  Do you think kids would have used the 52 Topps Mantle in between their spokes had they known the future?  They couldn’t make an informed decision.  Readers – my opinion is your information.   Just like I was “ALL IN” for SI, I am “ALL IN” for SPORT.  SPORT has my strongest endorsement.   I know there will be deniers.  I know change is tough.  But if you followed my advice about SI, I’m pretty sure you are happy.    There is so much to like about SPORT, for example, instead of paying $500 for a raw mag, you can pay $10 or $20, which makes the cash flow and the risk much less.   OK – I’m done endorsing.  Next I will be explaining and illustrating the why behind the endorsement.   I hope you are enjoying the reads on the history of SI, SPORT, and TIME magazines as well as an insight into relevant magazine collecting.

Welcome to my Sports Illustrated/TIME magazine blog – Your collector’s guide to the latest hobby updates and insight into what’s trending now.
 
 This blog is meant to be an experienced voice, guiding interested investors/collectors down the path of the most informative decision making possible.

As our hobby expands, “fair pricing” has become a hot topic.  I hear and read about the lack of comparables (the holy grail in the card hobby), but that objection is easily remedied.

Mags are a little different in that exact comparables are scarce but indirect comparables are readily available.  It makes a lot of sense that there are certain issues and grades that can logically be compared to each other.  Using these parameters – athlete, year, POP, and grade, you can easily and accurately, arrive at a “comparable”.

So when you see a 64 CGC 9.4 Brooks Robinson for $33,000, you can use these parameters to gauge if it’s a good buy or not.

Graded SI mags have experienced such growth in buyers that the demand is catching up to the supply.  That has long been the drag on the hobby. 

It’s important to note, there are such low levels of supply that once this supply/demand concept starts to turn, issues at the top of the scale (most valuable) will become unstable, and rise in price, until a balance, again, is reached between supply and demand.

The message here is that the high grade SI vintage newsstand magazine is no longer a secret.

And when everyone is buying Mickey Mantle, that’s the time to buy Willie Mays.

Stay tuned in my next blog for the next big thing.
