Welcome to my Sports Illustrated/TIME magazine blog – Your collector’s guide to the latest hobby updates and insight into what’s trending now. Jordan is the most popular cover athlete in our hobby right now (non-vintage) and Sports Illustrated is the most popular sports magazine publication in the world. What better combination would you have as a foundation for your graded magazine collection? You really have the entire gambit of 9.8’s (there will never be a 1980’s/1990’s grade higher than 9.8), high grade issues – low POP, and high-grade issues with a fairly high POP and somewhere in between. Right now, Jordan, high grade, high POP issues are crazy cheap. The only buyers are speculators. My opinion – buy every undervalued, high grade Jordan issue you can find. Jordan’s not one these “flash in the pans” of course, he’s the real deal. If you are looking to impress your friends with your Jordan SI collection, you can do that and still cash in when it’s time to sell. Jordan is not going down in value any time soon so if you are seeking investment value – this is your guy. Just remember, condition is the key to your success.
