- Two copies of Jet Magazine, Volume XLIV, Number 4. The front covers are bright green with the title in the upper left corner. The title is slightly obscured by a circle-shaped photographic portrait of Dick Allen which overlaps the bottoms of the "e" and the "t" of [JET]. Above the title in much smaller black text is the date of publication, cost and publishing information: [April 19, 1973/35¢ A Johnson Publication]. To the immediate right of the magazine's title are two lines of bolded, capitalized white text: [BASEBALL UNDERWAY FOR/RECORD-BREAKING SEASON]. Five circle cutouts of photographic portraits dominate the bottom 75% of the cover; Hank Aaron's portrait is foregrounded in the center and covering small portions of the two portraits above (Dick Allen, Willie Mays) and below (Bob Gibson, Billy Williams) Aaron’s. The men's respective names appear in small black text as captions at the bottom (Dick Allen, Willie Mays), top (Bob Gibson, Billy Williams), and right (Hank Aaron) of their portraits.
