Welcome to my Sports Illustrated/TIME magazine blog – Your collector’s guide to the latest hobby updates and insight into what’s trending now.

Oh my God!  I’ve got a fingerprint/stain/crease etc. on my SI #1 First Issue or my Olympic Hockey or my ’83 Jordan.  How did that happen?!?

Happens all the time and it’s so preventable.  For $25 each, you can protect your ungraded mags from all kinds of long-term wear, damage, fading, spills, drops, marks, stains, and on and on and on.  A small investment to ensure your best stuff remains intact and protected. 

If you’re like me, many of your really valuable mags (early BASEBALL mags, early SI’s, for example) are too large for grading but fit nicely into these folios.  Another feature I really like is that you can remove them from storage and read/show the original stories, pics etc to your admiring friends.

Below is my ad page for this offer.

Sports Illustrated Protect Your Prized Mags With Genuine SI Folios 10 – $25 ea.

Sports Illustrated Mag Folio, Clear Plastic Mag Envelop, COA, Protects Mag Condition and Found Only Here.

Store them – as many as fifty or more – on your mantle, book shelf, bar, man cave (not hidden away in a box), anywhere where your friends can see them, feel them, read them, and be jealous!

For $250 you can safeguard 10 of you best stuff!  Way Cheap!

$45 each – 1, $35 each – 5, $25 each – 10 or more

I am talking about the Sports Illustrated 1954 Original Presentation Folio (see pics below) for Issue #1 but….  I recommend using it, like I do, for your ungraded, most-valued issues too.  Many collectors choose not to grade their mags and this is perhaps the most reliable, safe, long term storage method available.  Protects from scratches, dirt, shelf wear and most of all fading. 

For just $25.00 each (minimum order -10, $35.00 each for 5), you get the genuine SI folio, a rigid plastic envelop (to which your mag is inserted for secondary protection), and a certificate of authenticity.  Easy, convenient shelf storage similar to a library so you can readily find and display your most prized mags without fear of admiring handlers.   

 While supplies last.  Mags not included.

Don’t be fooled by lesser quality folios out there.  This is the original, SI Real McCoy.
