Recent pickup for my personal collection -- Tiger's first appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated. This issue hit newsstands on October 28, 1996, after Tiger's second Tour win just two months after turning pro.

My goal is to collect one newsstand copy of every Tiger S.I. cover appearance, as well as some other early non-S.I. publications.

Will it top $1 million this time?

SI Kids has a Charlie Woods card - Tiger Woods son - in this month‘s edition. Hard to know what he’ll become but I know there’s a bunch of SI Kids card collectors on here.

There’s some iconic ones from the past, including his dad’s card, LeBron’s high school card, Wemby’s first card, Simone Biles, Serena Williams, etc.

Tough to grade with the perforations and terrible centering, but love this collection nonetheless.

Grabbed this on auction tonight and am super stoked about it - hard to find Wilt autos these days. Would have loved it in marker vs pen but will take what i can get!

Anyone have grail autos they’re chasing?
