Item Description
3-3/8x5-3/8" stiff paper card issued by various newspapers in May, 1931. Floyd Gottfredson's "Mickey Mouse" daily strip storyline from May, 1931 involved Mickey having his picture taken, which was then offered as a premium to readers. The image that appears on this card is the exact same image that appeared in the May 27, 1931 strip. Superb image depicts Mickey posing for the photo while Butch appears behind him in a suit of armor. Facsimile signatures below read "Gobs Of Good Wishes Mickey Mouse - Me Too Butch." Some lt. corner tip wear w/lt. edge wear along top margin. Even lt. aging but still VF overall. Despite the overwhelming success of this premium offer, this card is extremely rare and we have only offered a few in our 53 years.
