CGC has recently change their size specifications for magazines and comics, shrinking the allowable thickness from 1/2 to 5/16 of an inch. This is a problem for many magazines.

@CGC_SI @Slick_Paper Iconic moment in USA history! Before and after (prob 3.5) 1 grade bump (improvement)? The back cleaned up really well

@CGC_SI 👀🧲

@CGC_SI @Slick_Paper Some new inventory. Though these two mags are not worth a lot of dough, tell me that in a PSA slab they would pop like the fourth of July!!

My reaction from the Canada World Cup game

I think the magazines with Tech founders from the start of the internet age are 100% worth speculating on. I picked this Time Google cover up the other day!

The HOLY GRAIL of Magazine Collecting! 🤯 Bid on this amazing collectible in our historic Goldin 100: bit.ly/3QzFeus This is Mickey Mantle's first-ever Sports Illustrated cover appearance from June 18th, 1956, graded an incredible PSA 9.6 - the single highest grade that one of these magazines have EVER achieved! This represents the perfect combination of sports history, rarity, and condition & is one of the most anticipated magazines to ever come up to Auction!

Tech leaders are a very interesting subset of the graded magazine hobby.

First cover 🥲🥲 @SLAMonline

The Evolution of the NBA Center From Mary Pickford to Victor Wembanyama 🧵 (An abridged version of this thread appeared in the May 2026 issue of PSA Magazine.) The NBA Finals have reminded basketball fans how greatly the center position has changed during the 21st Century.  The Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns is a seven-footer, which for decades has been considered the ideal size for the position.  But Towns is also a 40% career three-point shooter who won the Three-Point Contest at the 2022 All-Star Game.  During the playoffs this year he has hit 46% of his long-distance attempts, along with 90% of his free throws.  Towns is matched up against the Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama, who represents an unprecedented combination of height, arm span, and skill.  Over his regular–season career thus far, Wemby has taken 37% of his shots from beyond the arc.  For comparison, the most similar player in history to Wemby may be Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.  The three-point shot was introduced into the NBA in 1979, midway through Kareem’ career.  Over the final ten years of his regular-season career, Kareem attempted 11,707 shots.  Of these, eighteen (18) were three-point attempts, most of them probably last-second heaves (he made one).

Of all the collectible pieces of physical media, magazines pairing big names with iconic brands (LeBron x Time) consistently appeal to me the most. Definitely gotta get one of these to pair with my “Chosen One” Sports Illustrated.

There’s been two big changes that have led to the recent growth in graded magazines. 1. PSA starting to grade magazines last year. 2. Goldin. While I get that Goldin and its owner can be polarizing, Khyber Oser at Goldin has done an amazing job making Goldin the #1 and platform for buying and selling premium pieces like this. Fun times in the hobby right now!

Indiana stole the Colts from Baltimore, and the Bears from Chicago. Cincinnati Bengals next? It’s even closer than Chicago. Louisville better be happy they don’t have an NFL team cuz Indiana would be coming for you next! Right or wrong, the lesson is this. If your government won’t pay for a new stadium, someone else’s will.

This take is mistakenly viewing the situation in Indiana as only being about the Bears. It’s about the Bears, and the overall business climate in Indiana being much better than Illinois. The Indiana legislature put up all this money to lure the Bears, and also put themselves in a win-win situation. If the Bears move to Indiana, great. If they don’t, they’ve still shown the wider business community that they should consider moving their business from Illinois to Indiana. Pulling the offer in Hammond would not be a good look for attracting future businesses. This whole debacle is about a lot more than just the Bears for both states.
