With a cover price of 25 cents, the first issue of Sports Illustrated hit the stands in 1954 with a cover shot of Eddie Mathews belting one of his 512 career home runs. This original copy of SI Issue #1 exhibits some expected wear due to age, but displays remarkably well and has been matted in a gold frame, measuring 14.75 X 18.75 inches.
