Wow!
I never collected them, barely read some of them. I guess those color spreads on the underwater pretzel throw semis from Provo, Utah never really interested me.

But there are two I would like to have. The first was the issue before Super Bowl III when the SI football "expert" named Tex Maulle seriously predicted that Baltimore would beat the Jets by the score of 66-0.
The second would be the issue in which they reported the results of the game (I'm not sure if they forced Maulle to write it).

Crazy stuff.....and expensive.......

[Guest Edgy DC]

And hardly the economy for collectables, I would guess.

I wonder if some people have more hours in their day.

Vintage SI's go for about $5-8 regardless of cover..Post 1980 2-3$..the hand signed autos? oye

I bid $5000

I love stories about overly compulsive collectors.

Ash: Vintage SI's go for about $5-8 regardless of cover <<<

There are vintage covers that fetch way more than $5-8.

I think his point was that the minimum is 5 to 8 bucks.

Pretty much..you can get Ali-Frazier 1 for 10 bucks
