Item Description
6.5x9.5" mailer with "Magazine Enterprises" mailing label and 1953 postmark. As mailer was postally issued, there is some wear to edges. VF+. Contains 17.5x33.5" triangular scarf with "The Ghost Rider" name and mask silk-screened images. This is not the current Ghost Rider comic book character, but the earlier western-themed character from the late 1940s that appeared in horror-themed western stories. Character was acquired from Magazine Enterprises by Marvel Comics who continues to use the character under the name "The Phantom Rider." Mask was obtained for $1.00 plus mail coupon. We are including a replica of the ad showing nice Ghost Rider image and image of boy trying on mask. "A Scarf...With The Name Of The Ghost Rider Bannered On It...And A SPOOKY White Mask That Becomes a GHOST RIDER SKULL Went The Mask Is Tied On!" 11x8.5" area of mask has glow-in-the-dark feature which still glows brightly. Mask remains folded as issued with a very few scattered pinpoint age spots. N. Mint. One of the rarest and most impressive premiums we've ever seen or offered. We know of only 2 and this is superior in condition - the other has had its eye holes cut out and does not have original mailing envelope. This was originally offered in Auction #193 but is being re-listed due to default of winning bidder. Still the only example we've offered in our 42 years of this outstanding premium.
