In case you're wondering this original has been in my collection since 1990 when I purchased it out of a CBG ad. At the time, it was a very messy assemblage of art, stats, and white-out all pasted down to a piece of acidic-looking shirt cardboard for support. To save it from impending deterioration, I sent it to conservator, Susan Cicconi,who performed what amounted to magic. Today, it looks great and stands as one of the earliest known JIM cvrs. in existence.
