Description
THE PRINTING IS ON THE PROTECTIVE SLEEVE THE PAPER IS IN!
By far the most important newspaper from the 20th century is the one you are looking at right here. This is the Godzilla of all newspapers!
If you are in museum, a collector or you just want to own something really recognizable and important, you need this paper, end the conversation!
In absolutely incredible condition you will not get many chances to not only purchase one of these but to acquire something this nice. Over 2 decades I have owned five of these and by far this is the nicest one.
What many people do not know,is that the last column due to how fast they had to rush this paper to the streets has an ENTIRE COLUMN PRINTED UPSIDE DOWN!, see picture.
The Tribune wanted to get the winner out as fast as they coulsd and on the streets, so this paper was printed in anticipation of Dewey winning the election. When the paper one hour later realized they were wrong, they had to pull every single newspaper that went to the new stands. That is what makes this so rare. Very few got the opportunity to buy one of these at the new stands and then a very small percentage of those actually kept it.
