Followed up my SI #1 with MJs first appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Shown with Sam Perkins in 1983, they were the #1 team in the country at UNC.

Loving this game! Grabbed a high grade CGC 8.0, only 25 graded higher.

A bit of education here but maybe @sportsmagcollector can help out here. This obviously has the subscription sticker on it. I believe the Newsstand version trades at a premium but curious how the market values these vs their counterparts.

Having fun here!!
