The crown Jewel of my MAD collection. MAD #171

At the height of my MAD obsession I started buying magazines from people online that were posting ads to a MAD fansite I frequented. I took a gamble and spent extra on this one because I liked it so much, both because of the artwork and the political satire. It is actually one of the MAD writers' favorite's too. It is a Watergate style parody of the movie poster of "The Sting" replacing Robert Redford and Paul Newman with Spiro Agnew and Richard Nixon. I received the package in the mail and I was amazed. Not only was the magazine in PRISTINE condition, it came with the original brown wrapper! It is one of my biggest thrills from my years of collecting.
