1972 John Wooden Signed Basketball Sports Illustrated Magazine No Label PSA/DNA

Offered here is an authentic John Wooden signed Sports Illustrated magazine dated December 25, 1972, featuring the legendary UCLA coach during his Sportsman of the Year recognition.

This is a true vintage newsstand (NO LABEL) issue, which is significantly more difficult to obtain than later subscription or label-bearing examples—especially in presentable condition and authenticated.

✔ Hand-signed by John Wooden
✔ PSA/DNA Certified Autograph (Cert # J78612)
✔ Original December 25, 1972 issue
✔ No Label / Newsstand Copy – highly desirable among SI collectors

While Billie Jean King also appears on the cover, she has NOT signed this magazine. The autograph is solely John Wooden’s, clearly authenticated by PSA/DNA.

John Wooden is universally regarded as the greatest coach in basketball history, a 10-time NCAA Champion, and an enduring symbol of excellence, leadership, and integrity. Signed vintage Sports Illustrated issues featuring Wooden are extremely scarce, and examples from the early 1970s—especially no-label copies—are exceptionally difficult to find.
