Description: Victor Wembanyama March 2023 Sports Illustrated Magazine v134, #2 - 1st Cover CGC 9.6 Newsstand - carefully shipped via USPS Priority Shipping. 2024 NBA ROY! Background On Graded Magazines: Graded sports magazines such as SI are quickly emerging as a complementary collection genre asset class to sports cards. As can be clearly seen by population counts, graded magazines, in the vast majority of cases, represent a much scarcer population number. As of July, 2024, news has surfaced that PSA will enter this collection genre, adding additional visibility if proven accurate. The graded magazine genre has had sales in excess of $100,000, with a Michael Jordan 1984 SI "A Star Is Born" December 10, 1984 v61 #26 Newsstand CGC 9.8 (First Pro Cover--Bulls) selling for $126,000 on August 20, 2023, through Heritage Auctions of Dallas, Texas. As taken directly from Heritage's marketing piece from the auction at the time in 2023, "There are currently 318 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan rookie cards graded PSA 10, each with an approximate current value of 150K+. By contrast, there are just three Sports Illustrated Michael Jordan "A Star Is Born" newsstand editions graded CGC 9.8." (Please note-- these values may be different at time of this listing.) "First Covers" are coveted by collectors of this genre, and generally are always the most valuable. Further, "newsstand editions" (no mailing label on cover), since they are also much rarer than "Subscription" issues (with a mailing label), are also more valuable. CGC, based in Sarasota, Florida USA, is generally recognized as the world leader in the grading of magazines, comic books, concert posters, and other pop culture collectibles. CGC also has a footprint in the grading of sports cards and Trading Card Games (TCG) cards.
