The New Yorker Magazine, November 1 1999, the complete issue in great shape, with no subscription label or label remnants (no tears, glue lines, oil lines) because it never had a label, plus there is no UPC bar code, the combination of which is extremely hard to find. Back in the 90s, The NYer held back about 100 subscription copies (thus, no UPC bar code) for subscribers whose mailed copies did not arrive, or were ruined by the USPS. When they sent the replacement out, they enclosed it in a manila envelope with a hand-written address on the outside instead of printing a one-off stick-it-on-the-magazine label, thus, none of the examples they sent out as replacements had labels.
This is one of those authentically scarce examples. I had a subscription then, and the regular one they sent was crushed by the post office. I called The New Yorker to complain, and this example was the replacement they sent me in 1999. It took them almost two months to send it, so I bought a newsstand copy in the meantime and read it. When I received this one, I immediately put it in a mylar sleeve, unread.
Harry Bliss illustrated the Pokemon Halloween Pikachu cash grab cover. This issue also has a 16-page gatefold Apple Computer iMac G3 ad, never opened. The pages are white with no dog-eared pages. It has never been read, there are no stains, tears, odors, subscription creases, or writing anywhere inside or out, with a small faint crease at the top right corner and a faint vertical wear line along part of the right side of the cover- this is from the edge of the thick Apple ad inside. Strictly graded "Fine". Shipped insured in an archival-quality sleeve with an acid-free backing board. Don't miss this one.
