''Dewey Defeats Truman'' 1948
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Infamous newspaper blooper, “Dewey Defeats Truman” issue of the Chicago Tribune. On 3 November 1948 the Tribune jumped the gun, declaring Dewey the next President in their early morning newspaper release. They were in such a hurry that a few lines of the story were even printed upside down. The paper was quickly recalled, though several copies had already been sold to the public. Complete through part three, page eight. Light toning, chipping and tears along margins and folds. Overall good condition.
