New subscriber. How about a video about the Sports Illustrated Cover Curse. They used to need a lot of lead time for the SI covers. Often times the cover person met with bad luck by the time the issue came out. You could show the covers and tell about the bad luck they met with. Just a suggestion. Maybe too morbid though.
@MikeJones-vy1kl I actually love that idea and have looked into it before. I'm familiar with some of the history and examples but would need to do more research. I think it would make for an interesting video for sure.
The only thing I did not like about bidding on Goldin is the 30 minute extended time frame in every instance after the original closing, and of course everyone waited 29 minutes and 30 seconds to bid again. The lot I was intersted in had a 10PM EST closing that ended up going until nearly 2:30AM the following morning. That's just too long.
@chaz1966 I haven't personally used the app. I'm always just on the website. I just searched and it looks like there are currently 9 graded magazines up for auction right now. There were a bunch that closed last week.
Cool thanks. I’ve messed with the filters. I see the 9 and switched to sold items. Boy do those Jordan’s sell. Can’t wait to see what PSA does to the industry as well as autographs to first covers.
thanks brad great info as usual one question for you do you ever send a magazine to be graded without pressing like a brand new one right off the shelf because some look so glossy and nice without pressing thank you
@tomharrison6607 Thanks Tom. The only time I don't press a magazine before submitting is if it is already extremely low grade and I think that the pressing process could potentially damage it. For example, let's say I had another copy of that 1929 Einstein Time issue I showed. If the cover was barely hanging on and it looked like the magazine had been run over by a truck, I probably wouldn't risk trying to bump it from a 2.0 to a 3.0. There wouldn't be much value gained there and the fragility of the magazine increases the risk for damage in the pressing process. Otherwise, I'm pressing, even if it's fresh off the newsstand. Pressing a brand new magazine can be the difference between a 9.6 and 9.8. Or, you never know....could even get lucky and pop one of those rare 9.9s.
@victortoombs4754 They operate the same way as Heritage as far as the fee being negotiable. I won't disclose my rates, but I will say that what Goldin offered me was better than Heritage.
another factor that could add to the psa grading magazines excitement if they start identifying things that the comic people like ie jordan's first appearance in sports illustrated thomas was on the cover ie jordan is over rated article while he was in college in sport magazine ripken was on the cover 1984 issue and the article from sport magazine from the late 70s where reggie jackson is first quoted as the straw that stirs the drink and munson can only stir it bad that cover is called greed and it is a green cover i have noticed those issues have gained some steam lately in pop reports and mentions
Thanks for the video BRAD. Good to know.👍🏻
Great video but one thing I do know is that subscriptions pre 1993ish in good condition will take this hobby to the next level
Different avenues are always welcome

Where do you get your information for magazine sales?
@blakeknower Just from the research/filters pages on the ebay, Goldin, and Heritage websites.

@secretcombos That's definitely a fair point from the bidders perspective.
Hello. Are you using the Goldin app to do your research on current and last sales. I’m looking now and only see 4 mids currently up for auction.

This fits with the Sept 2024 top sales video you made.

@@sportsmags thank you very much can't wait to see the first few psa graded magazines out there
How much does Goldin charge? What is the best rate you have negotiated with Heritage?

Interesting
Do you info for that Goldin contact?
