Semi OT: Sports Illustrated Covers Collection

Has anyone purchased a Sports Illustrated cover from the SI Classic Cover Collection (www.sicovers.com) to use as part of their game used display?

I was wondering if the quality of the reprinted cover you get is good since they are asking $20+ for one cover.

Thanks!

Dewey,
I purchased about 30 of them from SI for autographing and photomatching jerseys over time. I wish they made reproductions from all their past covers, but they don't. I was looking for the 1982 Rickey Henderson SI to match up with a jersey but it wasn't available. Fortunately I found a Mizuno poster with the jersey on it. The SI picture quality is top notch on sturdy photo paper. Usually if you buy 3 or more, the shipping is free. Don't waste your money having them frame them, do it yourself. One down side is that they take a few weeks to arrive. Other than that, it's a homerun. Dan
