Mattrolfe Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I found my grandfathers copy of a 1954 sports illustrated magazine. Wanted to know what it's worth. It has a sleeve of baseball cards inside. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flchris Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 (edited) Depends on condition, but check ebay’s sold items for similar copies for an estimate. Edited August 6 by flchris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Furious Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Looks like $100-$200 in that condition. Feels like a low price if you ask me but that's what I saw on Ebay sold items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revat Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Cgc does grade magazines, but you may get more pertinent discussion at a sports memorabilia chat forum but with any collectible, get a ball park value by looking it up on eBay sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougC Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Here is a pretty good comp in similar condition: SI #1 The first issue of SI is one of those books that everyone feels "should" be expensive but just isn't in average/worn condition (NM copies can get pricey). I had a box of about 15 of them at one point thinking it would take off eventually, cause... it's SI and the first issue! Obviously it never has for what ever reason and eventually I just started to add them into trades when I needed something to balance out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Love the cards!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Cataldo Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 They found a ton of them several years back. Like a couple dozen sealed cases or something, so the value plummeted. I've got a set of the first 6 issues (#2 has a Yankees card foldout similar to #1) along with the 1st anniversary issue up for sale at $500/obo with no bites yet.

jmg3637 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I bought two copies from the wharehouse find 20+ years ago. came nicely packaged. I think I paid 400 each (or was it 300?) I had heritage submit one for press and grade, and sold it last year. I think it came back a 9.2 and sold for a disappointing 700 ThothAmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
