Comic Description
A political satire coloring book published near the end of Ronald Reagan's second term. It features caricature art by MAD Magazine artist Mort Drucker. The tagline 'A complete listing of his accomplishments: see paragraph page 2' is a joke, implying a blank page or minimal content in a satirical context.
Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
Visible heavy subscription-style vertical crease or roll; spine stress-induced warping; corner blunting; surface soiling and minor staining on white background; price sticker residue or sticker applied directly to the polybag over the cover.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $15.00 | Graded: No significant demand for grading, likely $30.00 - $50.00 (barely covering fees)
Recent Sales
Comparable items in similar condition typically sell for $10-$20 on secondary markets like eBay; higher prices are reserved for unopened or mint copies signed by Mort Drucker.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading exceeds the fair market value of the item, and the current condition (visible heavy center-fold/vertical crease) would result in a low technical grade.
Notable Features
Features iconic caricature art by Mort Drucker; satire of the 40th President of the United States; includes UPC on bottom left; specifically marketed as a 'Farewell Tribute'.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1988 printing. No known counterfeits exist as the market value is low; paper stock is typical of late-80s novelty coloring books (uncoated interior, light semi-gloss cover).
