Randall Dowling Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 The many, many issues of Comics Journal are chock full of great information and (currently) very reasonable in price, for the most part. Jasonmorris1000000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jayman Posted September 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2020 Recent board pickup made me notice an unnamed promo for what has to be Vampirella. This issue is from July 1969 roughly 2 months prior to Vampi one. Thought it was pretty cool!

Popular Post Stevemmg Posted September 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) I’ve had some rare Skywald luck lately. Once I finish reconciling these with my keeper copies, it might be enough to warrant a sales thread.

CGCSI Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 On 4/20/2020 at 3:04 AM, N e r V said: So if you have followed this thread you may have noticed my magazine collecting extends out of the usual genre material like horror or science fiction mags. The recent National Lampoon books I posted being an example. So a few years ago I picked up a copy of the first issue of Sports Illustrated (CGC 8.0) and having grown up with the swimsuit editions the thought of putting together a run of them from the 1960’s/1970’s was planted. So when this CGC 8.5 copy went up at auction a month ago I didn’t really think about bidding on it since the last 8.5 went for $1200.00 and this book generally gets $1000.00+ asking prices for CGC copies in this grade. But lately due to the current “crisis” we are in prices on collectibles seem to be missing their targets in my experience and so I figured I’d throw out a lower bid on this copy and hope I got lucky. So for just over $400.00 I picked this copy up at a bargain price. This is my first CGC swimsuit issue and since it’s the first swimsuit issue it will be the most expensive to get in the run so landing it first makes things so much easier. So here it is my CGC 8.5 copy of the very first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. Getting key books like this is so much fun in collecting.... The swimsuit issue was invented by Sports Illustrated editor Andre Laguerre to fill the winter months, a typically slow point in the sporting calendar.He asked fashion reporter Jule Campbell to go on a shoot to fill space, including the cover, with a beautiful model. The first issue, released in 1964, entailed a cover featuring Babette March and a five-page layout. Campbell soon became a powerful figure in modeling and molded the issue into a media phenomenon by featuring "bigger and healthier" California women and printing the names of the models with their photos, beginning a new supermodel era. In the 1950s, a few women appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, but the 1964 issue is considered to be the beginning of the current format known as the Swimsuit Issue. Great score! I love collecting graded issues of Sports Illustrated, this one is a total gem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
