Sports Illustrated 2006 World Series, Special Issue

We bought this magazine for a 12 year old boy whos family lost everything in a fire. He was and still is a advid Cardinal Fan. We however are CUB FANS but wanted the boy to have something back that was lost to him. Thanks Amazon for carrying everything so we could give this family some of their life back!

I was disappointed to receive the package to find a barcode sticker across the great cover. I was afraid to tear the item if I attempted to remove it.

This Special Issue was purchased as a gift for an adolescent who is a big Cardnials fan. For this purpose, it was perfect. Unfortunately, the packaging for the magazine had rounded corners so the magazine came with slightly damaged corners. For our nephew this was no problem, but for the collectors we know this would have been a reason to return the item. Other than the bent corners of the magazine, the item was in perfect condition and came promptly. Over all, we were very satisfied.

This is a great gift for any St. Louis Cardinals fan. I bought it for my boyfriend who loves baseball and the St. Louis Cardinals and he was very impressed with it. It had a lot of interesting facts about the Cardinals in it along with a lot of history about the team. A great find for a reasonable price!

I bought this for my husband who has been a life-long Cards fan. In checking it out before giving it to him I found myself reliving the exciting moments of the '06 Series, and was really happy that I'd ordered it. The fact that this was the first season in their new stadium and then to take home the championship is truly an occasion for celebration and acquiring a piece of memorabilia such as this. Sports Illustrated captured the memorable moments of each of the key players excellently and then topped it off by assembling a team of the "all-time" historical greats. I thought this was a nice addition.

I did have to send my first copy back as it had a bit too much shelf wear including bends, wrinkles, and worn corners, but Amazon over-nighted a new copy to me and it was much better. I heated the sticker with my hairdryer and it peeled right off, improving the appearance, though there is still a price scan mark and numbers.

I highly recommend this item for any Cardinals fan. Where else can you find a compilation of this much information, SI's unbeatable photography, and downright fun for the price?
