Here’s a unique piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Produced in the 1990’s by E.C. Publications, this is a MAD Magazine subscription expiration notice. Notices like these were sent out to MAD Magazine subscribers nationwide whose subscriptions were going to lapse in the near future. This particular notice was sent to the NYC apartment of Bill and Annie Gaines. However, the Gaines’ had subscribed to MAD using a different spelling of their last name. Why?

Here’s a rare piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Published in 2000 by DC Comics, this lot contains two versions of the MAD #1 Millenium Edition comic book.

Because of that omission, the initial print run of this book was to be destroyed, then reprinted with the E.C. Publications acknowledgement. Both versions of the comic are shown here, with the only difference being the words. “E.C. Publications Inc.” being printed in the publishing history at the bottom of the inside front cover.

This card was sent by the Kings to the MAD Magazine offices during the Christmas holiday of 1985. Apparently, they had asked permission from MAD to reproduce the cover to MAD Magazine #246, as they were career fans and researchers of the circus. MAD gave them permission to use the cover for their research, and they then, in turn, used the image for their annual Christmas card. Measuring approx. 3 ½” by 6 ⅞”, this item is in Excellent display condition. It has been signed by the Kings, and also comes in its original storage envelope.

The printing instructions on the bottom read, “Photo Prints - 1 doz. Glossy - S.S.” I’m not sure what the S.S. means (single-sided, maybe?). Is this one of the twelve that were printed? Who knows? But, I am sure it is one-of-a-kind today. This item measures approx. 8” by 10”, and is in Excellent display condition. From the collection of Annie Gaines Ashton.

This bust is very similar to the version that was sold in the United States in the 1960's, and I believe that the bust is cast from the original mold of the US version (or at least a one-off).

The manufacturers sticker is still attached to the back, and there is no felt on the bottom (there was never any felt to begin with). Overall, this bust is beautiful, and in Near Mint condition.

Lot #97 - Denmark / Danish MAD Magazine Bound Volume Includes First, #1 Issue MB $175

This is a very cool (and very rare) piece of foreign MAD Magazine memorabilia. Compiled in 1963 by Forlaget I.K. / Williams Forlag, this is a bound volume of the first eight (8) issues of the Danish version of MAD Magazine. These issues all have the title "G-A-S", instead of "M-A-D". That is because the word "GAS" is the literal translation of the word "MAD" in the Danish language. In fact, the first thirteen (13) issues of the Danish MAD had the word "GAS" printed on the front cover, as the title was slowly converted to read "MAD" instead. This item is in Excellent display condition, although the guts to issue #7 (1963 / #3) is missing.

Lot #103 - 1940’s Era Adult Dress Shirt w/ Pre-MAD Alfred E. Neuman Image Cool MB $150

Here’s a cool piece of pre-MAD Alfred E. Neuman memorabilia. Probably produced in the 2000’s, this is an Adult Mens dress shirt. This shirt features several images of an early version of MAD Magazine’s Alfred E. Neuman, and is very well done. I cannot say for sure if this is an authentic shirt from the 1940’s, or a recent reproduction. It certainly has the look and feel of a piece of 40’s era clothing, and the tag looks legit. But it is in such nice condition, that it is hard to believe this shirt is going on 80 years old. Perhaps it is new-old-stock (N.O.S.)? I can’t say for sure. I will say that it nearly took my breath away when I opened the box from the consignor. Although the tag only indicates the neck size, I would guess that this is an Adult size Large.

Lot #104 - MAD Magazine T-shirt It’s A Jungle Out There CIA 1987 MB $20

There is no tag, but I would guess it is an Adult size Medium. It is made from a thinner, more lightweight fabric, and is in Excellent display condition. It has been worn and washed several times, and it is starting to show some light pilling. But, the colors are still bright, and the graphics are clear. This is a tough one to find, so don;t miss out!

A Chicago toy dealer remembers seeing cases of sealed Alfred E. Neuman kits in a warehouse, and purchasing those same kits for $1.00 each. Now, sealed kits can be found, but for a few hundred dollars each. The kit is this auction is almost complete, but it is missing the signs. It appears that all of the pieces are assembled, and just have to be glued together and painted. There is some damage to the box (pictured), but for those of you who don’t own one of these, the starting bid is well worth it.

Neuman is shown prominently on the blade of the lure, and just on the top side. This lure is designed to catch medium sized fish, like Walleye, Trout, and Bass, as it is too big for fish like Perch or Bluegill, and too small for fish like Muskies.

Lot #139 - MAD Magazine / How To Be A Successful Dog Paperback Book Turkish MB $20

Here’s a super rare piece of foreign MAD Magazine memorabilia. Published in 1999 by Aksoy Yayincilik, this is the Turkish version of the MAD Magazine paperback book, How To Be A Successful Dog. This title was originally published in 1984 in the USA, then reissued in 1999 with a different cover and a digest-sized format. This is the Turkish version of the digest-sized format. Since I don’t understand one syllable of the Turkish language, I can only assume that this book has been fully translated from English to Turkish. This book has been previously enjoyed, but is still in Excellent display condition, with a foil sticker on the back.

Lot #140 - Swedish MAD Magazine Paperback Book Don Martin Unreleased Rare MB $75

Here’s another super rare piece of foreign MAD Magazine memorabilia. Published in 1988 by Semic Press AB, this is the Swedish version of the MAD Magazine paperback book, MAD’s Don Martin Bounces Back. The complete set of Swedish MAD paperback books numbers a total of 92, not including reprints. This book is number 92 in the set, but strangely enough, it was never released. The reason is because when Don Martin left MAD in 1987, there would have been some legal entanglements in releasing any Don Martin material for sale. So, even though the books were already printed, they could not be sold. This is one of the surviving unsold copies, and it is in Excellent display condition, with light storage and handling wear.

Lot #141 - MAD Magazine / Alfred E. Neuman Premium Pin Color Scheme Prototype MB $75

Here's a super rare piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Produced in 1990 by Brian Fitterman, this lot contains an Alfred E. Neuman premium pin face. Back in 1993, MAD Magazine enclosed a readership survey in issue 326, and anyone who responded received an Alfred E. Neuman cloisonne pin in return. The pin that all the respondents received had an Alfred E. Neuman face with black and white enamel. The pin face that is shown here was one of the color scheme options, and shows Alfred with brown hair and a tan face. There were a few of each of these made, but they are scarce and very hard to find. This auction is just for the face of the pin. There is no pin attached. This pin face has also been attached to a gold-colored metal plate. It is gold-colored on both sides, but the camera angle makes the gold-colored plate look a bit darker. The front is just as bright and shiny as the back (shown in the second photo).

Lot #142 - The Book And Magazine Collector October 2002 w/ MAD Magazine Prices MB $20

Here’s a cool piece of foreign magazine memorabilia. Published in 2002 by Diamond Publishing Group Limited, this is the October 2002 Edition of the Book and Magazine Collector. A publication based out of London, England, this magazine takes a look at various popular book authors (Laura Ingalls Wilder, Dick Francis, Stephen King, etc.) and also popular magazines. This particular issue has a small article about MAD Magazine, and gives a brief publishing history of both the US and British editions. A price guide for both editions is also shown. This issue has been lightly read, and is in Excellent display condition.

Lot #143 - MAD Magazine / The Dellwoods 45 RPM Record RARE 1964 MB $20

Here's a vintage piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Produced in 1963 by Big Top, this is a MAD Magazine 45 rpm record. The two songs on the record, "Her Mustache", and "Don’t Put Onions On Your Hamburger", were also found on the Fink Along With MAD LP. I have not played this record, so I do not know how it sounds. But, it is in Excellent display condition, with a generic paper sleeve. This is the 45 RPM version. This record is very difficult to find, so don't miss out!

Lot #144 - MAD Magazine / Alfred E. Neuman Mardi-Gras Walkalong Costume 1960 MB $1250

Here’s one of MAD Magazine collecting’s biggest “Holy Grails”. Produced in 1960 by Collegeville Costumes, this is the Adult size Alfred E. Neuman Mardi-Gras walk-along Halloween costume. The Adult would slip into the costume from the bottom skirt, and slip the costume over their body. The eye holes are in the hairline of Alfred’s head, immediately below the edge of the green hat. The face of Alfred is that of a court jester, which makes sense since this is a Mardi Gras costume. The costume itself (including the skirt) measures approx. 41” long, and is approx. 20” wide. The plastic face shows some cracks and light splits, and the cloth skirt shows rubbing wear. It has also become unstitched along the seam in a few areas. It is remarkable how much the skirt is still attached, however, as it seems that the skirt was able to be pulled away from the costume quite easily, especially if a larger sized Adult wore it a few times. In Collectibly MAD, it is noted that there might have been a box included with the costume. In all actuality, this item was sold with a removable hanger attached to it. Although I have not specifically seen an Alfred E. Neuman Mardi Gras costume with an attached hanger, I have seen other Collegeville walk-along costumes with the hangers attached. Overall, this costume would certainly be the Holy Grail piece of most MAD Magazine memorabilia collections, and the opening bid reflects both the scarcity and condition of this piece. As far as I know, less than ten (10) of these are known to exist.

Lot #145 - Collection Of Chinese (Taiwan) MAD Magazine Memorabilia Issue #4, Envelope MB $75

Here’s a rare collection of foreign MAD Magazine memorabilia. Published in 1990 by Rock Communications, this lot contains four (4) different pieces of memorabilia from the Chinese version of MAD Magazine. The items in this lot include the following: Issue #4 of the Chinese MAD, an original Chinese MAD mailing envelope, a full color Alfred E. Neuman poster, and a Chinese MAD subscription form. The magazine, subscription form, and envelope appear to be gently used, and are in Excellent display condition. The poster does show some storage and handling wear, with light creasing and bends along the edges and corners. Any of the six (6) issues of the Chinese MAD are very difficult to find, and the issue #4 found in this auction is no different.

Lot #146 - 1977 MAD Magazine Wall Calendar w/ Original Storage Envelope RARE MB $15

Here's a rare piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Produced in 1976 by Warner Books, this is the 1977 MAD Magazine wall calendar. Generally speaking, the top half of each monthly calendar page features panel art from previously published issues of MAD, and feature art from your favorite MAD Magazine artists, like Jack Davis, Dave Berg, Paul Coker, Sergio Aragones, and a host of others. The numbered days also have tidbits of MAD Magazine art sprinkled in as well. And, the centerfold features a full color version of one of those “Cheap, Crummy, Souvenir posters from MAD Magazine” premiums. This calendar is unused, and is in Near Mint condition, with light storage and handling wear. And as an added bonus, the original storage envelope is also included. In my opinion, the envelope is rarer than the calendar itself.

Lot #147 - The New Republic January 1966 w/ The MAD Show review Scarce MB $5

Here’s an obscure piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Published in 1966 by The New Republic, this is the January 29, 1966 edition of The New Republic magazine. Generally speaking, The New Republic is a magazine that prints opinions on politics, the arts, and culture. This specific issue has a review of the popular, off-Broadway hit, The MAD Show, and apparently the reviewer didn’t really enjoy it, as he compared The MAD Show to “eating soda crackers which have been softened in milk”. This issue is in decent display condition, with light edge browning and corner creasing. There is also a bit of edge chipping on both the front and back covers.

Lot #148 - Esquire Magazine w/ MAD Magazine Parody August 1964 Rare MB $10

Here’s a cool piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Published in 1964 by Esquire Inc., this is the August 1964 edition of Esquire Magazine. Normally, any issue of Esquire would be of no value to a MAD Magazine memorabilia collector. But, this issue is valuable to MAD Magazine memorabilia collectors, as it contains the famous MAD Magazine parody. This issue spoofs the MAD Letters Page, shows Alfred E. Neuman in an article about “Real Problems”, takes a swipe at a MAD Magazine “How To….” article, and parodies the cover of MAD, calling it “BAD” instead. This issue has been previously enjoyed, but it is in Excellent display condition.

Lot #149 - Campus Life Magazine w/ MAD Magazine Article January 1974 RARE MB $15

Here’s a hard to find piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Published in 1973 by Youth For Christ Inc., this is the January 1974 edition of Campus Life, a religion-based magazine for young adults. This particular issue features a whopping nine (9) page story on MAD Magazine titled, “In Search Of Alfred E. Neuman”. This story features Alfred E. Neuman in various places in the article, reprints of articles drawn by Dave Berg, Jack Davis, and George Woodbridge, and pictures of Bill Gaines, Al Feldstein, Nick Meglin, and other members of the Usual Gang Of Idiots. This particular issue has been previously enjoyed, but is still in Excellent display condition, with light storage and handling wear.

Here’s a cool piece of both MAD Magazine and Don Martin memorabilia. Published in 1987 by Krause Publications, this is issue #730 of the Comics Buyers Guide. The Comics Buyers Guide was a “must have” for every comic book enthusiast in the 1970’s through the 2000’s. It featured articles on comic book creators, comic book artists and writers, and each issue had a huge marketplace section where you could list all of your comic-related material for sale or trade, or place ads for certain items you were seeking. This particular issue features a cover story about Don Martin, and his departure from MAD Magazine. This issue is in remarkably good condition for being printed on newsprint, although it does show a light corner crease on the front cover.

Here’s a cool piece of EC Comic memorabilia. Produced in 1977 by Martin Greim and New Con, this item is a paper award certificate that was presented to Al Williamson, the popular comic book artist who drew for EC Comics, Eerie and Creepy Magazine, and a host of other publications. This award was presented to Mr. Williamson, who was chosen for his outstanding achievement in the field of Comic Art. This award features art from another EC Comics alum, Mr. Harvey Kurtzman, and it has been signed by three famous Comic Art fans; Martin Greim, Don Phelps, and Robert Cosgrove. This item measures approx. 11” by 17”, and is in Excellent display condition, with light storage and handling wear.

Here’s a super rare piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Produced in 2005 by E.C. Publications and the White Castle Management Corp, this item is an advertising flyer for subscriptions to MAD Magazine. Flyers like these were placed on the counters of participating White Castle restaurants, and interested guests of the restaurant were able to take them home with them, with the intention of calling and subscribing to MAD. Those who subscribed, and used the special White Castle code while placing their order, also received a special White Castle / Spy vs. Spy wall poster in the mail. This particular flyer measures approx. 4” by 7 ⅝”, and is in Excellent display condition, with light storage and handling wear.

Here’s another piece of E.C. Comic memorabilia. Published in 1972 by Russ Cochran, this is a collection of reprinted comic art from the classic line of E.C. Comics. The stories that were reprinted were taken from classic comic books like Two Fisted Tales, Frontline Combat, and the Vault of Horror, to name a few. But, what makes this item truly special is that it has been signed by the founder of both MAD Magazine and the Entertaining Comics line, Mr. William M. (Bill) Gaines. This portfolio has been lightly read, and is in Excellent display condition.

MAD Magazine’s Sergio Aragones was the featured speaker, and he spoke fondly of his affection for his fellow MAD Magazine alumnus, Mr. Jack Davis. The poster and flyer feature identical artwork, which depicts Mr. Davis in various activities during the famous MAD Trips abroad. Measuring approx. 5 ½” by 8 ½” and 11” by 17” respectively, these pieces are unused, and in Near Mint condition, with ultra-light storage and handling wear.

Here’s a super rare piece of foreign MAD Magazine memorabilia. Produced in 1965 for Editions Francelia, this is a full color advertisement for the #1 issue of the French version of MAD Magazine. The French version of MAD Magazine began publication in 1965, but lasted only six (6) issues. It was revived back in 1981, but again it was a short-lived run, lasting only eight (8) issues. This advertisement is in remarkably good condition for being over fifty years old, and it measures approx. 9 ¼” by 12 ¼”. It is shown in the second photo next to the first issue of Australian MAD. That issue is not included with this advertisement, but can be found for sale in another lot in this weekend’s auction (see Lot #116).

Here’s a super rare MAD Magazine sweatshirt. Produced in 1992 by Stanley Desantis, this is a MAD Magazine / United Colors of MAD sweatshirt. The art on this sweatshirt features five different racial images of Alfred E. Neuman, which have been borrowed from the cover of MAD Magazine #111. There is no hangtag attached, but this shirt appears to be an Adult size Large. It has been worn and washed, and the colors and design have faded just a little.

Here's a super rare piece of foreign MAD Magazine memorabilia. Produced in 1986 by Warner Home Video, this is the British version of the 1980 box office flop, Up The Academy. This is the VHS tape version, and was probably the only version produced for the British audience. As an added reference, this item makes no mention anywhere of MAD Magazine anywhere on the tape or case, EXCEPT in small letters that appear in the credits, located just under Barbara Bach’s right elbow, on the back of the case (see Picture #3). This item has been viewed, and the display case shows storage wear. There is also a crack in the case, where the tape rests, that results in the case not closing tightly.

Lot #160 - “For Those Who Have Everything” / Kermit Schaefer LP Record Album MB $15

Here’s an obscure piece of Alfred E. Neuman memorabilia. Produced in the 1960’s by Jubilee Records, this is a “Greatest Hits” double-album from the Blooper King himself, Mr. Kermit Schaefer. Mr. Schaefer was famous for collecting recorded television or radio bloopers (or recreating them with hired actors), and then releasing his collections on full-length audio LP records. This two record set contains excerpts from six (6) of his albums, including items from his popular, Pardon My Blooper LP record. The reason this item is desirable to MAD Magazine memorabilia collectors is the appearance of Alfred E. Neuman on the front of the album sleeve. This item is in Excellent display condition, with surface, corner, and edge wear. A quick look at the records show almost no wear.

Lot #162 - MAD Magazine # 104 Signed By Jerry DeFuccio RARE 1966 MB $10

Here’s a rare piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Published in 1966 by E.C. Publications, this is issue #104 of MAD Magazine. But, what makes this item special is that it has been signed by the late, former associate editor of MAD Magazine, Mr. Jerry DeFuccio. This issue was sent to a gentleman named Win, who was eager to contribute to MAD Magazine as either an artist or writer. Apparently, Win had sent samples of his work to MAD, and Mr. DeFuccio had kept the samples for review. I haven’t the time to research if Win was finally hired as a free-lance contributor, and maybe there is a chance that he was hired, if only for a brief time. In any event, this issue has been signed by Mr. DeFuccio on the front cover in black marker, and is in Excellent display condition, with surface, corner, and edge wear. There is a ½” split at the bottom of the spine, and the back cover shows some tiny pieces missing from each corner and the bottom edge.

There are also corner creases on the front cover, and some edge chipping on the back cover. While not in the best condition, this issue is extremely difficult to find, even in Mexico.

This item was previously folded into fourths, and shows light creasing by the folded seams. It is still in good display condition, and would look wonderful framed.

This particular issue has been read just once or twice, and the first few pages (including the front cover) have been turned to the MAD article, and stored in that position.
