This Sports Illustrated newsstand issue features the very 1st cover appearance for John Elway. CGC graded at 5.5 this cover features him in his Stanford uniform from college. This is a pop 1/1 with only 11 copies graded higher (see pics for pop report). It's very rare to ever see a copy of this issue up for auction in any grade!
This would look amazing in your office or man cave, and it's ready to display as there's no need for framing.
