SI SBLX Edition

[AROS]

Arrived today. If I’m lucky it will be worth 5 bucks more than I paid for it in 15 years.

I hear you bro. But it's cool shit like this that becomes the most valuable. I've gathered/received years of expensive swag and nonsense over the years (which I appreciate no doubt). That said, the Lombardi shaped confetti I gathered, in the air and off the ground, from Super Bowl XLVIII is more valuable to me than any autographed stitched jersey on the planet (sans Anthony Bradford).

I'm just looking at the two hands grabbing the collars holding that should have been penalties, but it is cool !

Boy, you said it! Some kind member (I apologize I can’t recall who) was in attendance and sent me some of those confetti and I cherish that to this day!

Sports Illustrated magazine. What a blast from the past! I subscribed to it for at least 30 years. Their photography was always top notch. I used to hold the swimsuit issue up with one hand.

Along with newspapers, magazines are nothing more than museum pieces anymore. I used to subscribe to 3-4 magazines, ie SI, National Geographic, Time, and the local newspaper wherever I lived.

I subscribed to SI for 25-30 years & didn't renew after they published an article claiming Bryce Harper was going to be the greatest catcher ever, not only offensively but defensively too, before he was even drafted.

It was the most ridiculous article I've ever read because I didn't feel it was their job to hype players like that while denigrating players like Johnny Bench acting like catching in MLB is somehow easy. It was almost like his agent wrote the piece.

I actually told people that he would never catch a game at the major league level, for obvious reasons, & I turned out to be 100% correct.

Do you remember the SI jinx, where it was a curse for which ever CFB team they ranked #1? That issue was always one that I started reading as soon as it arrived.

I remember going into my favorite barber shop and I could never find the proprietor's copy of SI as inevitably someone was reading it, and as soon as they put it down, another customer would snap it up.

Damn.

All I had was old national geographic magazine tribal women with titties that looked like someone dropped an orange in an old tube sock

 

[chris98251]

Ahhh Swimsuit issue, could nit have Playboy or Penthouse pin ups in your locker but Sports Illustrated, that was ok so swimsuit issues were very popular in my High School. dIdn't need much imagination to see the forest thru the trees so to speak.

Yeah, no silicone enhancements in Africa back then.

One of my high school graduating class's claims to fame is that one of my classmates was a Playboy Playmate of the Month. Prior to her appearance in the magazine, there were all sorts of rumors floating around town, then the month she was supposed to appear, sure enough, there she was.

Ok ...

Did you hold it up with one hand is the question.

 

[glenwo2]

"I think we both know the answer to THAT question."

 

[RiverDog]

Hehe! Not with her. It's a little hard for me to explain. Despite her looks, which obviously were over the top, I never fantasized about her. I've known her since 7th grade, and at no time was there any hint of a romance on either of our parts. Even though she was always friendly towards me, I considered her out of my league. We were/are friends.
