Presented here is a high-grade October 18, 2004 Sports Illustrated (volume #101, issue #15) with the featured story being Tom Brady and the New England Patriots' NFL record 19-game winning streak.

 

This issue reeks of Boston sports fandom as the upper headline shows Johnny Damon and touts the Red Sox's upcoming 2004 ALCS matchup with their rivals from the Bronx. We all know how that turned out. From 0-3 to 4-3 and eventually World Champions, ending the 86-year "Curse of the Bambino."

As for the Pats, they would start the season 6-0 and extend their NFL record of consecutive victories (regular season and playoffs) to 21 before eventually falling to the Steelers at Heinz Field on Halloween night. They finished the regular season 14-2 and coasted to the Super Bowl where they knocked off the Eagles, 24-21, for their third Super Bowl title in four years.

This CGC Near Mint 9.2 copy is one of just six in its grade, with the best conditioned copy being CGC 9.6 (Near Mint+).
