G'morning!  

Here's a little treat for you  early  post-holiday  risers,   something to  hold you over while my Beloved and I  go to the first Black Friday  sale  we've
ever bothered to attend:  the local used book  store  has  EVERYTHING IN THE STORE   on  sale with  at least a 25 percent  discount.   

Now THAT'S the  kind of  Black Friday  sale  I  could learn to support.

In the meanwhile,  here's   a  Golden Age rarity  to tide  you over.

Movie Gems  NN,  Cover  Only, 1944.

Here is an example of  a  true  GA  ashcan cover,  bought from our very  own  Moondog,  the  illustrious  Gary  C.  He was thinning the herd  at  WW Chicago
a few years back,  and I felt  that this was the closest I'd ever get to  a true  GA  ashcan. 

Unused  cover  ONLY, and only the FC  has  any  printing at all.  And not only  that,  you  get   Simon and Kirby  Boy Commandos   art.

Folded in half  and  filed  in 1944,  and probably not touched by human hands again until  Gary bought it, There's a light  water stain upper LH FC, 
otherwise   flat clean and  gorgeous. 

$200,  EXTREMELY  FIRM
