Classic SI covers

[Greg Cleveland]

I know, I'm not usually a hoops guy, but when I found these at my local libray's sale, I couldn't resist.





Our libray has sales that gets rid of overstock stuff, but also sells books, magazines, albums/CDs/VHS/DVDs whatever that have been donated to the library for the purpose of the sale. I bought some baseball SIs too, but I thought basketball fans may dig seeing these in particular.

Those are sweet! My grandpa subscribed to SI before I was born (1969), and passed them all to me along with the subscription. Basically every SI from 65-95 I had. Through my school years, I ended up cutting them up on the inside, but I kept every cover and had my favorites laminated (prob 100 of so). I was going to hang them in my classroom, but have not yet. This thread may spark me to photograph them.
