Reds 1990 World Series
Royals 2015 World Series
Magic Johnson at Michigan State 1978
Darryl Strawberry 1984 (my sister is going to get it autographed for me bc shes going to see him speak in a couple weeks)

Anyone have any recommendations for other issues I should get? I'm hanging them all in frames in my office. I'm going to do them in chronological order so it can kind of be a sports history wall.

And also, if anyone has any old ones saved, I'll buy them from you. But they have to be of significance. Thanks!
Don't know if you're only looking to do only older covers or Cincinnati history, or both. If it were me I'd like to get any cover affiliated with Cincinnati.

Some I liked were:
Marge Schott smoking a cigarette.
Chad Johnson With Bengal stripes painted on his arm.
Chris Sabo from 1990 the cover reads "RED October"
Dieon Sanders sliding
Hunter Green (Reds just selected him 2nd overall at 17 years old) 100MPH
A couple Ken Griffey Jr and Joey Votto

If you google "Cincinnati Sports Illustrated Covers" then click on images you can scroll through quite a bit and get some ideas.
