In 2021 Sports Illustrated did something pretty cool with Shohei Ohtani. They produced two covers of him the same week. One as a hitter and one as a pitcher. I’m cleaning and pressing this hitter variant for a customer.

While this dent was small, it did run pretty deep. This era of SI is tougher to work on because by then they had moved to a glued, square spine instead of the traditional stapled spine. A very satisfying before and after!
