The Sports Illustrated retirement tribute issue broke street date

[Duncanforthree]

Just picked one up at a San Antonio area Wal-Mart. The website says it's supposed to come out on 7/21, yet here it is a week early.

Pretty fast turnaround. 80 hours from the press release by the Spurs to the mag on the racks.

My guess is they have been working on this for a couple weeks.

Anyway. It's out there. $12.99. Feels real to hold the tangible evidence in your hand that Timmy has moved on.

[Dro210]

is it a full out magazine or just cover?

It's all Timmy, 80 pages. $12.99 is fucking rape for a magazine, but I still bought it.

[SpursforSix]

hey...at least you're not paying it $15,000,000 per year to dribble around.

Damn I wouldn't pay $12.99 for a Hustler with the Virgin Mary in it. My first thought when I saw the thread is I have to buy it. My second thought was I bought all the champions special editions and shit and looked through them once and put them in a fucking drawer. So I'll pass.

Expensive now but you won't regret that.

But we are talking about a magazine with the Virgin Mary's son in it!

I hear you. I think it's more about the distant future though. You'll pull those things out one day 20 years from now, maybe with your kids or grandkids, and be really happy about it. I'll always remember when my dad got out all his sports illustrateds from the late 70s and early 80s and gave 'em to me.

No doubt! :toast

Yea

[bklynspursfan]

I'll probably buy 2. One i'll keep in plastic, and another to read. I still have TD & David Robinson when they were on the Wheaties box covered lol

[Obstructed_View]

Wonder if I can find one in DFW.

[SilverSpur]

I'm gonna frame it and hang it on the wall and place his McFarlane figure right below it.

You basically described what's happened with my collector editions as well.
I would drop the 13 on a t-shirt, like one of those 80s versions with the player and his stats pasted all over it.
Although I saw that DRob shirt in junior high so I'm guessing it's only for youths!

[InRareForm]

can someone buy me one?

[Ruler]

Which Walmart did you get it at? Has anyone seen them in CVS or Walgreens? It says 104 in my car so I don't want to be driving around in rush hour. Thanks!

By the way I'm over on 1604 / IH10 area (six flags)

[ColinB]

They are at HEB too.

[ElNono]

damn, can we order it online from anywhere?

[mbass]

:lol

Exactly - I have all 5 championship SI covers, the 5 CDs and just ordered 4 of the special TD issue. It's for the grandkids - took them to the 5th game of the 2014 championship. We wont see a bball player like Tim again.

No doubt! :toast

First day BUY when I see it.

[ElNono]

Ordered, tbh

[Spurtacular]

Didn't find it on Amazon. But if anyone wants to pay for nostalgia, maybe this:

[FkLA]

Thanks for the heads up OP. Getting one sometime this weekend. Going to frame it and put it in my garage/man cave after I read through it tbh.

[Spurs1234]

When you ordered it does it ship in a box of just in the mail? Would love a real nice newsstand condition one.

[gospursgojas]

can someone buy me one?

Yes. What's your SSN?...for records

[CosmicCowboy]

Plenty at heb

[InRareForm]

Yes. What's your SSN?...for records

I private messaged it.

Thanks bro.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Did they say anything about how it's shipped? I'd rather it come in a package and not like how they typically ship their magazines. Don't want it to get bent, as I'm going to frame it.

No word. I got the cheapest one. I think you can buy it framed for some extra $$$ if you want.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Grabbed one at HEB, they've hit stands in Austin!
