Description
vintage original map as shown, folded as issued, very clean and nice, but is date stamped when it was picked up (see below). i have a large collection of different states and different dates on ebay right now. awesome. READ THE TITLE FOR INFO ABOUT THE SPECIFIC ITEM OFFERED HERE. there is info on the back of the map, and sometimes there is separate pages of info when it did not all fit on the back, i show a photo of that if it was included.from the collection of none other than Kennett Neily, the man in the story below who sold the famous "White Mountain Collection" of silver age comic books, known for being in amazingly clean unread condition and for having a date stamp or writing, from when the item was purchased on the first page inside, well he did that on just about everything he bought.
WHY HAVE HIS COMICS SOLD FOR SO MUCH MONEY: CONDITION
In 1984 a man approached Jerry Weist, owner of "The Million Year Picnic" comic shop in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with a small sampling of comics from his collection. This initial meeting was the hobby's introduction to what is now referred to as the White Mountain Collection. Few collections of Silver Age books approach the consistently high level of condition and page quality that White Mountain copies possess. Weist would eventually become the organizer for Sotheby's comic book and comic art auctions. In that capacity, he introduced the collecting world to this fabulous discovery, offering choice samplings in Sotheby's 1991, 1993 and 1996 auctions.
Many collectors are still not aware that the collection's large body of Silver Age publications also included a small sampling of choice, early Underground Comix. It should also be said that most collectors have yet to grasp the significance of that inclusion. For most Silver Age collectors, the UG's are the forgotten books of the period, and this is a serious omission on their part.
AND EVEN FEWER KNOW AB0UT HIS COLLECTION OF SCIENCE FICTION BOOKS, H.P LOVECRAFT ITEMS (he published a zine called Lovecraftian Ramblings in the 80's), MAPS, TRAVEL BROCHURES, TV GUIDES, CAR MANUALS, MAGAZINES, ART, ETC. also in amazing, mostly unread mint condition.
