I stdetarted by hitting up the usual spots online. You know, the big marketplaces, a few auction sites. I typed in "Sports Illustrated Larry Bird," and boom, tons of listings popped up. But, I was looking for a really good condition one, not some beat-up, dog-eared copy.
I spent a good hour just scrolling through results, comparing pictures, and reading descriptions. Some were way overpriced, others looked like they'd been through a war. I narrowed it down to a few promising ones, and then I started digging deeper.
- I checked seller ratings. Super important! You gotta make sure you're dealing with someone legit.
- I zoomed in on the photos, looking for any creases, tears, or yellowing. Gotta be picky with this kind of thing.
- I messaged a couple of sellers, asking about the magazine's condition and how they'd package it for shipping.
Finally, I found one that looked perfect. The seller had a great rating, the photos showed a near-mint copy, and they responded quickly to my message, assuring me they'd pack it securely. So, I took the plunge and hit the "Buy" button!
I got the package a fiew days later,and I carfully opened it,It's perfect!I am so happy to have it!
