Are those from the Marjorie Hess Collection?

The Raggedy Ann museum is in Arcola, IL about 5 miles from where I work. The creator of Raggedy Ann & Andy, Johnny Gruelle, grew up in Arcola and his grandaughter runs the museum. They have a (complete?) set of the comics, they are in plastic top-loader sheets in a 3-ring binder. I always liked the covers, especially the ones with the wallpaper-like patterns in the background.

 

Sadly, the museum is closing down for good at the end of the summer. I wonder what they're going to do with all of the stuff in the museum? (And the comics?)

 

Anyway, that's a neat group you have there. I'm probably in the minority, but I like to see groups of old comics with the original owner's name written on them. It really adds a lot of history to the books in my opinion.

That's a shame that the museum is closing down. I suppose there's little hope of relocating to another city.

Congrats to both buyer and seller. I've hesitated about this lot. I just didn't want the writing on the covers. Thanks for bringing a cool lot to the Marketplace. (thumbs u

Actually, I found the name of ownership to be a charming feature for the set. I'm glad this set is staying intact. I missed out on other issues of the collection when I acquired these - perhaps someday they'll be reunited.

You know what's odd is that generally it doesn't bother me as much but these covers are so neat and integrally designed that it was too distracting.
