Original Dewey Defeats Truman Chicago

Tribune Newspaper

We are fortunate enough to have discovered another copy of  this famous edition of the Chicago Tribune of November 3, 1948.  It the original and complete three section newspaper.  This is arguably the most famous and sought after newspaper of all time. This is only the third copy of this historic paper that we have owned in 30+ years.  The front page of the paper is yellowing in many areas due to its age and wearing thin in the area of the center fold as is common with this age paper.  The front section of the paper is in good shape, but the front page is  also torn in the lower right hand corner and there is a tear on the lower right side of the paper. The back section of the paper is yellowing and there are numerous tears and rips on the sides. All in all certainly not in excellent condition, but considering copies in very good condition sell for $2,000+, and we are selling the edition for much less than that price, it is a unique opportunity to add this historic newspaper error to your collection Click here to see additional photos.

Price $1,250     SOLD    We have acquired another copy to be listed approx. 11/10/2008
