1993 Sports Illustrated Mike Piazza Signed No Label Newsstand Magazine Issue PSA 9 DNA 8 Auto HOF Slabbed

Offered here is a stunning July 5, 1993 Sports Illustrated featuring Hall of Famer Mike Piazza, boldly signed and professionally authenticated and graded by PSA.

This iconic “NL Blue Plate Special” issue captures Piazza during his meteoric rise to superstardom and Rookie of the Year dominance — one of the defining early covers of his legendary career.

🏆 Grading & Authentication

• PSA Magazine Grade: 9 (Near Mint/Mint)

• PSA/DNA Auto Grade: 8

• Officially slabbed and encapsulated by PSA

PSA has only recently begun authenticating and grading full magazines, and collectors are quickly recognizing how condition-sensitive these large-format publications are. High-grade examples from the early 1990s — especially newsstand issues — are exceptionally difficult to find.

⭐ Investment-Grade Attributes

• ✅ No Label Newsstand Edition (Extremely Scarce)

• ✅ Outstanding eye appeal for a 30+ year-old publication

• ✅ Clean, bold signature that presents beautifully in the PSA holder

• ✅ Hall of Fame Inductee (2016)

• ✅ Highly desirable early-career cover

Given PSA’s recent entry into magazine grading, population data is still developing. When the magazine population report expands, do not be surprised if this example ranks 1 of 1 with none higher in comparable configuration.

📈 Why Mike Piazza?

Mike Piazza is widely regarded as the greatest offensive catcher in MLB history. A 12-time All-Star and 2016 Hall of Fame inductee, Piazza remains one of the most collected stars of the 1990s baseball era.

This July 5, 1993 issue of Sports Illustrated represents one of his most recognizable early national features and is highly coveted among Dodgers, Mets, and HOF collectors alike.

🔥 Condition & Eye Appeal

This magazine is a true stunner:

• PSA magazine registry participants

• Dodgers & Mets fans

• Advanced signed Sports Illustrated collectors
