What does #1 go for? And, besides #1, are there others that are universally sought or just the ones that specific collectors (e.g. Mays guys, Mantle guys, Clemente guys, etc.) go for?

Steve Prefontaine's 1970 cover brings good money.

None have sold on ebay recently without a label, but with a label they seem to go between $25 and $50.

No way does that run go for more than $10k, if it does, then I have a collection of SI, TSN & SL that I will happily sell to the buyer.

I think the big difference with this find is the condition. Apparently they are individually wrapped and in mint condition. The no label thing is also huge. These may have been saved by an employee as I believe there were tapes from interviews also in the find.

Don't want to hijack this thread, but is there an effective way to remove mailing labels from old SI issues? Like the magazine equivalent of soaking a card?

I have the 1972 SI of Willie Mays returning to the Mets and I'd love to frame it up without having some random stranger's address permanently attached to it.

Issue #1 was reprinted, with the card fold-outs, as part of a SI Gift Set a few years ago (it included the reprint, a hardcover book, and a coupon for a free subscription). So the demand for #1 may not be as big as it might have been, because those who just want to read the issue or see what it looked like can settle for the reprint.

Embrace it... Its part of the magazine's history and provenance.
After all, if it wasn't for that "random stranger", you wouldn't have the magazine to begin with.

The ones from that era are very difficult to remove. The glue they used stuck like superglue. You might be able to use some chemicals on the label, but you would still have the three lines from where it was stuck. Sometimes they dry out enough where you can kind of chip it away, but same results.

The prototypes may be driving that higher number. They may just be that fresh and in top condition though, which may bring a further premium from the right buyer.

There are a few issues with "cards" in them that are popular (I want to say #2 or #3 has some and seems to be harder to find than #1) and a number of super star covers that would be desirable, but I assume nobody would want the group as a whole, unless they were looking to resell.
