Does anyone know the dimensions of SI and ESPN magazine?

I want to get Favre's SI and Fielder's ESPN mag framed but I don't have either magazine yet. I was going to get both on eBay and want to know the appropriate frame ... I know ESPN is an oddly shaped mag. Thanks in advance.

I'd assume 8 1/2'' x 11'', as the last SI I received was the same as a standard sheet of paper.

just take them to a frame shop and have them frame it and put it in there for you.

[MelGroceryStocker]

I thought so, but ESPN is weird, not a standard mag size. It's a little bigger.

[MelGroceryStocker]

Yeah but I'm cheap and I like buying super cheap frames for my stuff. There's a place I get all my 8x10, 11x14 and 16x20s framed and I usually spend about $3 for each one.

 

They really look nice and they do a great job.

I subscribe to both. SI is 8 x 10.5 and ESPN is 10 x 12.

but mel, i don't think they will fit in just regular frames, they are too deep? Aren't they?

[MelGroceryStocker]

Actually I got my old SIs from the Packers Super Bowl runs in normal frames, so I think it should be okay ... and thanks SnapFan!

Mel, where do you get the frames from? I got the SI and would like to frame it but don't want to spend a ton on it. I would be fine just buying a cheap frame and putting it in there. Thanks!

For all of my auto pics I get the frames from here. I have yet to see if a mag will work with those frames, because my mags are in different frames.

 

Highly recommend those frames for anyone's photos though. $2.70 for an 8x10 cannot be beat. And don't let the price fool you. These are nice frames. They take about a minute to assemble, they come with backing and glass, everything you need, and they are wall-mount ready. One of the best purchases I've ever made for my collections.

I use those frams as well for SIs, along with a number of other items. For anyone interested, they sell them at Walgreens and are on sale at least once a month for buy one get one free or buy one get one for $0.01. I do not have this weeks ad in front of me right now but I believe they are on sale this week. Additionally, they sell them at Michael's. They cost more there but there is a coupon in the paper every week for 40% or 50% off so you can still get them cheap. They are great because they have a nice black boarder which frames the magazine nicely. I have not framed any of my ESPN covers but the 11x14 frame they sell would work for those.

I've got a Baseball America magazine crammed into one of those frames in the link. There is no way a magazine fits in there w/o removing the backing. Baseball Americas are generally pretty thin compared to an ESPN magazine, so I'm not so sure that would fit in there. I'd think the SI would fit w/a little bit of force. Just my observations....

Yeah, all the magazines I have framed are just the covers. I remove the staples and take out the pages. Doing this involves no "cramming" so nothing to worry about. If anyone is interested I can take some pictures and post them. Just let me know.
