This is for a Vintage Wrestling As You Like It Booklet Magazine-Your Choice. These are in amazing condition for their age of almost 70 years. 16 pages and measures approx 7x10 inches/18x25cm-I'm only going to mention what's on the front cover. Some have a vertical bend done by the post office with address labels on back cover that resulted in small ripples due to the label possibly being wet when applied (didn't have those sticky options in those days) except Jan 30th & except for 1953 & Jan 1954 the rest all have 2 tiny holes punched in the side of the magazine (do not go into any text) probably to put into a binder. Any additional flaws noted below:
April 4, 1953-Coast to Coast News, Whipper Watson-British Empire Champion-tiny tears around the top staple at spine,
1954
January 30th-Rocca Story, Hans Schmidt Ready To Attack-looks like it has been restapled-small x on bottom of one page & appears to be autographed "To Brian Bill Melby" on Melby's photo-I have compared the signature to one online and they look the same, small taped tear on bottom of spine
May 8th-Louis Enters Wrestling, Mitsu Arakawa-New Jap Star-light faded spots from moisture on back cover, front cover has creases at the bottom spine
May 29th-Talented Wrestling Referees, Goelz-Great Yamato With Jackets, small taped tear at top of spine, middle page is loose at top staple
June 12th-Promising Summer Season, Al & Tiny Mills-Canadian Stars
June 19th-Complete Canadian Reports, Verne Gagne -A Champion, back cover has 2 small taped tears-one is at spine.
July 3rd-Easter Action Report, Schmidt & Rocca Clash, small damage spot on front cover
July 10th-Complete Canadian Reports, Roy McClarity-Canadian Sensation
August 28th-Complete Eastern Report, Dave Jons From England
September 25th-Great Wrestling Center, Arakaw-Yamato - Tag Partners, tiny tear on top edge of back cover
November 13th-Canadian Wrestling Report, Red Bastien Junior Heavyweight Sensations-small printing stain on back cover & tiny tears on the tip edge of back cover & last half of magazine
If the listing says chart, book or pattern this is ONLY for the chart, book or pattern not the finished product or kit.
I used to own a yarn/needlework store about 20 years ago and I will be listing tons of vintage knitting, needlepoint and cross stitch patterns, books and kits so please keep looking. Please email if you need more details or a picture of something in particular. Any glare or blurriness is from my camera.
I classify condition based on how the item looks. If it is brand new- it has no markings but may have a price sticker- there may be some very light storage or store handling-usually these items come directly from my wholesale sources. Like new means it is almost in brand new condition but has been previously owned and lightly used. Very good has been lightly used and may have a little bit of damage and/or markings and sometimes the covers get most of the hits while the inside is much better quality. Good means that it has been used and there is some damage and/or markings. Acceptable means that it has been heavily used and I usually only list this quality if it's a rare or hard to find item. PLEASE NOTE- an old price on an item does not dictate the current price, something that cost $1.00 in 1970 may be much more valuable in today's market due to rarity, if it is out of print, availability and if it is vintage or a limited edition.
All my items come from a non-smoking home
