Probably not but thought I'd ask...  Anybody looking for early MAD Magazines? Like issues in the #32-70 numbers. I have most of them including more than one copy of each in varying grades and will post them at good discounts if there is any interest. Let me know.

Also have some oddball pre-Mad and early MAD ripoff "stuff" like this if anyone is interested...

OK, People love MAD, but do they buy them? Let's see. Here is a small group of what I consider some of the best covers they ever produced. Decent copies and ones every fan should have.

MAD #32 Aug 1957

Great Norman Mingo 4th of July cover!

Has a few small spine nicks and dents on edges. No tears or creases. Book and venterfold bound tight to covers. Nice interior paper.

$45.

MAD #43 Dec 1958

Probably my favorite MAD cover. Frank Kelly Freas was at his prime here. Just check out all the action going on here. All the way back to the dinosaur in the background. A masterpiece! Classic back cover as well!

Beautiful, flat, clean, bright copy.Just a small bend on the right side that does not break color and a light shadow in upper back cover. Tight, smooth spine, sharp corners, no tears or creases.Tightly bound copy with nice pages.

$50.

MAD #45 March 1959

Awsome Valentines cover also featuring Alfie's girlfriend. Kind of weird, they never mentioned her or gave her a name. Such a great holiday cover.

Has a long bend at spine. Like a roll but not creased or color breaking. Could be pressed out easily if one desired. A couple small cover bends in corners. No tears, creases or splits. Tightly bound with nice pages.

$45.

MAD #56 July 1960

Another Freas killer cover! Just see how many people you can name on this great political cover. Maybe if Alfred E Neuman were running the show this country would be a lot happier!

Very bright, tight and sharp. No tears, splits or creases. Very tiny spine tear/split in middle. Light dust shadow on right side of cover and on on back cover. Book is well bound to covers. Again, just very minor wear. Nice interior pages.

$45.

MAD #59 Dec 1960

Maybe my second favorite MAD cover and easiliest they one everybody wants and sells first. All my Halloween memorabilia customers love this one in even low grade. Can't afford the original art in Heritage? Grab the original...

Tough, black cover. Shows every fault. A very nice copy considering. No tears, creases or splits. Tightly bound copy. Has a new small bends on corners and right edge that do not break color. Worst is 1/8" in lower right corner. Light dust shadow in lower back cover. Sharp copy and so tough in super high grade. When I run into MAD stashes (and they are drying up), this one is usually missing or bad shape.

$75. (don't mind keeping it...)

MAD #64 July 1961

Wow, what a cool one! Just look at the detail on the slot machine. Love the guy in the barrel. One of the first back issues I found when I started collecting these as a kid. Great gag and blinding red color. Kelly knocked it out of the park on this one.

Bright, glossy and tight. Smooth tight spine. No tears, splits or creases. Originally bound just a little off. (see bottom). A few small spine nicks and corner bends. Slight reading bend at spine. Would press out nice if someone wanted to. Pretty copy.

$30.
