The biannual Chicago Sports Spectacular took place this past weekend, March 13-15. I’ve attended the five most recent shows — almost always as soon as doors open for the “sneak peek” on Friday afternoon — and have seen a few things evolve on the magazine front.
The good: There were more ungraded magazines than I’ve seen at any of the previous four Spectaculars.
The bad: Some vendors didn’t treat their issues with much care, to put it mildly.
Disappointed! Took a minute for these to come back. All the cases came back with some sort of issue with the right bottom corner. It runs along the right side. The left bottom corner has a white spot. Looks like some sort of sealing issue. I guess PSA QC doesn’t exist. The one small bright spot is the MJ Beckett issue #1 received a 9.8.
Hey Mantel! I recently launched a free weekly newsletter covering sports magazine collecting. My goal is to provide regular updates that are useful to both new and veteran mag collectors.
