DESCRIPTION

Vintage April 1948 SPORT Magazine (Vol. 4 #4) — CGC 8.5 VF+ — Iconic Ted Williams Cover


Up for sale is an incredibly preserved, museum-grade piece of early post-war baseball history: the April 1948 issue of SPORT Magazine, professionally graded and encased by CGC an exceptional 8.5 Very Fine+. Published less than two years into SPORT magazine's historic run, high-grade examples from this era are incredibly tough to find due to standard newsstand handling.


The front cover features a legendary, heartwarming color photograph of Boston Red Sox icon and Hall of Famer Ted "The Splendid Splinter" Williams smiling as he signs an autograph on a baseball for two young fans.


This historic 1948 issue is packed with incredible mid-century sports journalism, features, and photography, including:


Ted Williams Special: "Two Guys Named Ted Williams" featuring premium interior color photographs.


Baseball & Boxing History: Cover-featured articles on boxing legend Stanley Ketchel ("Yesterday's Graziano") and a baseball deep-dive titled "Can They Button Up 'The Lip'?" (referencing the legendary Leo Durocher).


Interior Color Portfolios: Crisp color photo features showcasing sports stars of the era including Jim Ferrier, Ewell Blackwell, Jerry Thompson, and Ted Schroeder.

CGC Universal Grade: 8.5 with highly stable Off-White to White Pages as certified on the header tab.

Registry Verification: The 10-digit certification number 4538630010 is fully visible on the label text and completely verifiable on the official CGC registry database.
