Description

1977 ANDRE THE GIANT ERNIE LADD 1 OF A KIND PRINTERS PROOF WRESTLING MAGAZINE COVER
For your consideration is the printers color proof for the Summer 1977 The Best of the Wrestler magazine with Andre the Giant and Ernie Ladd on the cover. This single page is on heavier stock glossy paper.  The back is blank with some faint printing marks. The cover measures 8.25 x 11 and the edges appear to have been trimmed.
The overall condition is excellent with small paper loss on top left hand corner and typical condition for these proofs with marks, color lines, surface scratches, etc.  Please note that this item is only the cover and not the entire magazine and you will receive the exact item that is pictured.  I just purchased the inventory (over 300 pieces) of a company that produced Wrestling Magazines in the 1970's and 1980's. These One of A Kind items were the Printer Color Proofs for the magazine covers. Some of the biggest names in Wrestling are on these cover. If you are a Wrestling Collector and truly want a unique item, this is for you. These covers would look great framed. Please see my other Wrestling Cover Proofs at auction and in my eBay store. Purchase more than 1 item and save on shipping.
Thank you for your interest.
THE FINE PRINT-
MULTIPLE PURCHASES- Please see my many other similar items because I do my best to offer reduced shipping costs for multiple purchases. I have over 30,000 sports and pop culture ephemera related items in my inventory, so please let me know if you are looking for something specific.
GRADING- I generally assign a grade to each item and then point out any issues that impact the overall condition.  NEAR MINT- An item that has almost no flaws.  EXCELLENT- Issues that are only noticeable upon inspection.  An item might have 2 or 3 flaws like minor surface creasing, minor discoloration to the covers or interior pages, minor edge or spine wear. VERY GOOD- Issues that are immediately noticeable.  More moderate wear including heavier discoloration to cover or interior pages, surface wear that impacts many of the pages, splits or noticeable wear to the spine, chipping to the edges of the covers or interior pages.  FAIR- Major Wear in many categories, but the item is still collectible.  POOR- So many problems that it makes an item in this condition almost unusable.
PAYMENT & SHIPPING-  Payment is expected within 3 days. I do my best to ship on the same or next day upon receipt of payment.  All items are well packed and most items are shipped with a protective sleeve and backing board in a padded mailer with a Do Not Bend Sticker.  Most items are sent by USPS First Class, Priority Mail or Media Mail with tracking.  IMPORTANT:  If you purchase more than 1 item, PLEASE WAIT to receive a combined invoice before paying.  IF YOU PAY FOR EACH ITEM INDIVIDUALLY, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REFUND ANY SHIPPING OVERAGES.
RETURNS-  I do my best (using my 30+ years experience) to provide an accurate description of all items.  However, if you believe that the description of an item was not accurate, I will refund your payment after receipt back of the item.
