Yesterday going through some boxes in my garage I came across a publication I used to read as a kid titled NBA Today. I remember devouring these as a kid, reading everything I could about the NBA. The particular edition I found was dated December 26, 1983 and has as its major headline, "David Stern Named NBA Commissioner." Has anybody heard of this publication? I've searched the net but have found no mention of it anywhere. Of course I'm wondering if this particular edition has any value.

....yeah, it has value all right! Burn it.....then burn the ashes!
I've never heard of it. Also, congrats on making your first post some 4.5 years after creating your account!
Negative posts like this are why people neg you.
If this is any indicator, than your NBA Today probably isn't worth much.

I wasn't able to find anything about it online. Probably was a short lived magazine.
Here is a copy of it on ebay for 12 bucks.

The oldest official magazine of the NBA called HOOP magazine that i could find is 1984

Perhaps NBA today was official magazine of the NBA until 1984 and than was rebranded as HOOP magazine?

Probably even more. I imagine Jason et al. carried the users from the site that was taken down. Maybe that is why there are many accounts with no posts. Or maybe I'm wrong. For that to happen, he should have backed up the user data without the posts. Did he?
I think people had to sign up manually. The oldest posters from this version of JF were created in May 2010, but capjazz joined in June 2010. Had everything been brought over, wouldn't capjazz have a May 2010 join date as well?
EDIT: Actually addictionary, your post makes me wonder how many accounts with no posts there are. The member list only shows posters who have at least 10 posts.

Nice info thanks.
Don't worry, you're still super, just a tad slower than me in this case.
It's the same seller, at least for the few I saw. That seller has 80K + items for sale, a fair amount of which are in the adult only category.
