Together, 2 items, including the 1884 program and Rarely seen Insert for Buffalo Bill's Wild West. I was only able to find One of these for sale online, but that one is in very poor condition with significant damage and tape repairs. You will be hard pressed to EVER find one in such astonishing 140 year old Condition. I suspect if this were ever professionally graded the value and market price would skyrocket! Condition: Front and back cover are in extraordinary condition with just minor edge wear. The 140 year old cover is Still attached and in quite remarkable condition Unlike most of these that appear on the market, the cover has No tape, no missing pieces, no tears or stains. And the inside is even more impressive, with just the antique sepia patina you would expect from a 140 year old historical document. A once in a Lifetime Find! And with the Ever More Elusive Original Insert, makes this a most Impressive Piece of History to Own! * See enlargeable images above Note: Cvtreasures stamp not on original
