Astros own and I am 100% going to the mall during lunch break tomorrow to confirm my hat size and order my WS champion hat

Also I will be partaking in the hilariously overpriced bidding on SI 2014 covers

If you're willing to pay for a year of SI you can get a pretty solid deal on the covers (it's how I got the framed one):

How’s it look? I was dead set on paying some exorbitant amount for an actual issue.

Yeah a trip report would be appreciated. UGH I’ve been planning on ordering that back issue for like four months now but didn’t want to jinx anything 😩

For everyone’s information, SI is reprinting the original 2014 issue and it’s available for purchase. It’s a 1:1 copy of the original, too - nothing indicating that it’s a reprint. Should knock down those $400+ prices on eBay. I’m getting the reprint and the above magazine framed in a single custom frame, really looking forward to it.

Got a link?

e: It appears to be just the cover

Nope, it's the full issue (option to purchase issue is on the right hand side, $19.95):

Here's a link to the other cover:

When'd you place your order? I placed my order literally a month ago and the full charge just went through like a day ago.

Like, the instant they went on sale. November 3rd?

Bodes reasonably well for me then. I placed my order on the 6th, so I guess it’s any day now :shobon:

Along the same lines, is anyone interested in buying some tickets for the game against the Padres next Saturday (04/07) off of me? My stepmother-in-law got them for me for Christmas not knowing that I'm already going to WrestleMania that weekend. Asking $220 for the pair; section 113, row 14, two adjacent seats somewhere between seats 1-6. Still waiting on my in-law to actually email me the ticket PDF since the sheet she gave me on Christmas day was just the confirmation email, but I'll send over proof once I get it.

If it makes any difference, the giveaway that day is replica World Series championship rings :cool:
