San Francisco Giants Matt Cains Perfect Game Commemorative Magazine Appraisal

San Francisco Giants Matt Cain's Perfect Game Commemorative Magazine

This item is a commemorative magazine celebrating Matt Cain's perfect game, a significant event in San Francisco Giants baseball history. The physical characteristics indicate a standard-sized magazine, likely printed on glossy paper for the cover and possibly matte or semi-gloss for interior pages, typical of official sports publications. The cover is predominantly dark, almost black, serving as a backdrop for the prominent orange and white text. The title "GIANTS PERFECT!" is boldly displayed with "GIANTS" in large orange letters outlined in white, and "PERFECT!" in large white letters. The top left corner identifies it as a "COMMEMORATIVE ISSUE," and a circular graphic in the top right corner highlights "MATT CAIN'S PERFECT GAME." Below the main title and text, a scorebox-style graphic provides details of the game, showing 'ASTROS' and 'GIANTS' with a score line, presumably indicating the perfect game status (e.g., 0 runs for Astros). The lower half of the cover features a dynamic action shot from the baseball field, capturing a moment of celebration with a Giants player (likely the catcher) with arms outstretched in exhilaration, and another player (presumably Matt Cain after his pitch) in the background. The field is green, with the reddish-brown dirt of the infield clearly visible. The overall condition appears good with minor wear, such as slight curling at the corners or edges, consistent with a handled but well-preserved magazine. A barcode and price ($5.00) are visible in the bottom left corner, along with the website 'SFGIANTS.COM', suggesting it's an officially licensed publication by the San Francisco Giants. The estimated age would be shortly after Matt Cain's perfect game, which occurred on June 13, 2012, placing it in the early 2010s. The quality of printing seems high, typical for professional sports memorabilia, indicating good craftsmanship in its production.
