| Welcome to my Sports Illustrated/TIME magazine blog – Your collector’s guide to the latest hobby updates and insight into what’s trending now. Last time I covered the increasing hobby interest in mid-grade newsstand magazines. In the true spirit of practice what you preach, I’ve decided to offer a series of interesting mid to upper grade SI’s etc., all for $75 each. And these are not cast-off pieces of little interest. In my mind, they all represent value to the collector looking to pick up first covers, star players or some hard to find issues, without breaking the bank and as most of you know, $75 is barely over the cost of grading alone. Any purchase comes with a $20 shipping fee regardless of quantity. And there are no additional fees, taxes, or freight charges to increase your cost. Just $75 per graded piece plus $20 per shipment. To purchase, drop me a note at wylliejohn@yahoo.com stating what pieces you want to buy along with your shipping address and deposit the appropriate purchase amount into my PayPal account, Sales and Service. Your purchase is covered by Paypal and I pay the fee. And that’s it. Shipment within 24 hours. If this offer proves to have interest within the community, I have more like pieces to offer. Below is a brief description of each piece. Also, for anyone reading this not currently receiving my SI blog, send me your email address and I’ll add you to my distribution. No purchase necessary. My Ebay handle is “sportsillustrated9.8” and sportsillustrated98.com on the internet, not to be confused with other similar tags. If you’re interested in one or more of my ebay auctions and you would like to purchase, email me at wylliejohn@yahoo.com to save on taxes, and shipping. Thanks for your loyal following. My readers always receive “first among equals” pricing/service. Many thanks for your continued support and patronage. On the web – Sportsillustrated98.com I hope you are enjoying the reads on the history of SI, SPORT, and BASEBALL magazines as well as an insight into relevant magazine collecting.
