I picked this up on a BIN deal a day after I had received one in slightly less than optimal condition. I love upgrading and it's kinda hard to beat new old stock.

Now we're talking good deals. Way to go Tommy. Always amazes me when cardboard, paper items like these...70+ years old, are still in mint condition. This obviously has been kept away from mildew and insects; two key ingredients that damage cardboard items. Nice find. Did you try to unfold it? Careful if you haven't. It looks great now but once it's unfolded, sometimes they become brittle and fall apart. I found out the hard way on one of mine.
Thanks for the loves today officialfuel!!!
Thanks Ray, I did not unfold it, I just peeked in between from each side to make sure there wasn't anything even more valuable or more importantly, living, inside.
You have two of these now?
Sweet find Tommy! You found a rare one there.
Thanks Perry and Trev, yes I have two, one will be departing soon I hope (4 days left)
Thanks trukn20!!!
Tommy, you rascal, how'd I miss this piece? That is one sweet purchase. Hat is off to you!
Too much time spent on the golf course would be my first guess.
Thanks Dave, A single bid at 5 seconds left and no competition made this an easy swoosh!!! Delivered for about half of book value.
Nice piece
Thank You coke.moody!!
