S.I. #1!!!...This August 16, 1954, first issue of Sports Illustrated is one of the finest to ever be encapsulated by CGC with a 9.6 assessment. With a bright orange "SPORTS ILLUSTRATED" header, the action image shows Milwaukee Braves slugger Eddie Mathews walloping one of his 40 dingers during his 1954 All-Star season. A wonderful addition to any sports or S.I. collection!
