Mad Magazine Issue #31 February 1957

Here's Mad magazine #31 from February of 1957. Cover is still attached to the pages but only by the lower staple, which is starting to pull away. Someone wrote his name on the front cover in blue ink between Thomas Jefferson's head and the "A" in Mad. Center pages of the magazine are here but they have become detached from the staples. Magazine includes one of the first contributions by Don Martin titled "Future TV Ads." Inside back cover has a "real" ad for a book club, one of the few times that Mad included a real advertisement in the magazine. Back cover has "Mad Travel Stickers," although these are not real stickers - they are just printed on the back cover. I'm not a comic dealer so I wouldn't even attempt to grade this magazine. However, I'd probably call the condition "good" although some of the blemishes are age related since this magazine is almost 70 years old.
