This influential first year of Sports Illustrated sparked what would become one of the most well-known sports publications of all time. Offered here are six key issues from that first year, including Sports Illustrated #1 from August 1954, which includes its original card insert pages. Also included are the April and August 2025 issues that retain their card insert pages, as well as August 1955 (Ted Williams Cover), July 1955 (Yogi Berra Cover), and June 1955 (Duke Snider Cover).

Size
11.5" x 8.5".

Condition
The magazines are in overall very good condition. Minor spine wear is the most notable flaw. A vertical crease extends upward from the bottom edge of the #1 cover.
