1976 Mike Schmidt HOF 95 Signed Sports Illustrated Magazine PSA 5.5 DNA 9

Up for sale is an exceptional 1976 Sports Illustrated Magazine signed by Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt, one of the greatest third basemen in MLB history.

This vintage issue has been recently authenticated and slabbed by PSA/DNA, making it a highly desirable and display-ready collectible for serious investors and Phillies fans alike.

🔥 Key Features:

• Authentic Signature: Hand-signed by Mike Schmidt
• Inscription: “HOF 95” — commemorating his Hall of Fame induction
• Certification: PSA/DNA authenticated autograph (Auto Grade: 9)
• Overall Grade: PSA 5.5 (Excellent vintage condition for a 1976 publication)
• Encapsulation: Newly slabbed for long-term preservation and display
• Publication: Original 1976 Sports Illustrated issue

💎 Investment Why:
Mike Schmidt is a Philadelphia Phillies legend, 3× NL MVP, and a cornerstone name in baseball history. Signed vintage magazines—especially Sports Illustrated issues from the 1970s—are increasingly sought after due to their scarcity and visual appeal.

The addition of the “HOF 95” inscription significantly enhances value and collectibility, tying the piece directly to Schmidt’s legacy.

PSA has only recently begun encapsulating and grading full magazines, and they have truly outdone themselves. The slab presents beautifully, offering outstanding display appeal while providing long-term protection and authentication from the hobby’s most trusted name.

For Schmidt collectors, Phillies fans, Hall of Fame autograph collectors, and serious Sports Illustrated variation enthusiasts, this is a premium piece

📈 Why This Piece Stands Out:

• Strong Auto Grade 9 — bold, clean signature
• Rare inscribed example (not just a standard autograph)
• Attractive mid-grade PSA 5.5 magazine with solid eye appeal
• Fully authenticated and encapsulated — no guesswork for buyers
• Ideal for display, investment, or high-end memorabilia collections

📸 Condition Notes:

Please review all photos carefully for condition details. The magazine shows expected wear consistent with age but presents very well inside its PSA holder.
