Item Description
Tom and Jerry were one of the most consistent sellers that Dell had. They
appeared in several continuing titles over the fifties, but none was as much fun
as Toy Fair. Dell Giants were among the best bargains ever in the history of
comics; they delivered cover to cover art and stories. The covers Dell used were
heavier than a regular comic cover and they were considerably less pliant. The
size combined with the type of cover they used means that it is very hard to
find Dell Giants, especially an 84 page book like this, in good condition. This
copy is noted by CGC as a Dell File Copy. Since this never saw the regular route
of distribution, it looks as nice as the day it came from the printer. This copy
was kept in storage by the publisher until the File Copies were bought by a
private collector in the Eighties. The pages are off-white. The book is
CGC-certified 9.6 (NM+). According to the CGC Census, this book is tied with
three others as the highest graded they have seen.
