1889 Philadelphia Stage Supplements
 

It has been years since I have been on net54. Looks like a lot of familiar names and a lot of new ones. A quick question regarding 1889 Philadelphia The Stage Supplements. I managed to get lucky and come across a full copy of the The Stage with the supplement still in tact. My question is, I haven't been able to find any other copy at any auction or for sale in the last 15 years or so. I understand these are quite rare, and I think Beckett will encapsulate them - doubtful they grade. Has anyone else seen these 9.5x12.5 supplements around?

Welcome to Net54

Which one did you find?

Can you post a picture?

Edward Seward is the one I found. This is the photo I have right now until it arrives.

Welcome back, trib01.
Here is my lone example:

Ever interested in parting ways - let me know. :)

Very nice.

Here are others that I have.

The last I saw for sale was a complete set by Lew back in 2009 I think. They don't seem to come around often, or at least in the last 0 to 15 years that I have been able to find.

Question
 

Does Sam Thompson appear in any of the known issues? I have always thought not.

Sam doesn't appear in this set.

These one-day or one-issue periodical items are so interesting to me; think about how few must've survived.
