Disney magazine Sept 1976 Comet grocery promo item Goofy, Peter Pan, Bob Hope

Description

It seems that Procter & Gamble teamed up with Walt Disney Productions back in 1976, so that your mother could get a free copy of Disney Magazine with every purchase of Comet Cleanser at the local supermarket. Can you dig it?
I am selling this excellent original of this September 1976 magazine. It runs 50 pages in full color and offers a childhood memory by Bob Hope. Plus Peter Pan, Ranger Woodlore’s nature hikes. Dobbin the horse at Disneyland. Mickey Mouse. Adventures of Mowgli from The Jungle Book. Goofy Olympics. Puzzles and games. Magazine is in excellent condition for a publication that is 45 years old.
There are no pen or pencil marks in these pages! Pristine.
I am auctioning off a collection of vintage magazines for a friend. Her mother was originally a coal miner’s daughter from Kentucky but she found love with a man from Boston. They lived in Framingham, MA together for several decades. Her husband died two years ago but she soldiered on. However, during a Northeaster last fall of 2020, a tree fell on their 1950s ranch house. This meant that she had to move out quickly for safety’s sake.
This woman is now safe in a new home. But she is forced to sell off all the magazines she has been saving – one could say hoarding -- since the 1950s. She has been a very committed collector and has lots of great magazines that span five decades.
I am selling this huge array of magazines in lots to speed the process. They will be grouped according to category. Please note that these magazines reflect normal loving use and that means modest edge wear. Some have a slightly musty odor that can be remedied by a couple of days of airing out. Sometimes it also means pen or pencil writing on certain pages. Please note that I am not listing every possible flaw in these magazines, for the sake of moving them out quickly.
Please see my other auctions featuring books and magazines from the collection of the Kentucky coal miner’s daughter who moved to Framingham, MA.
Once again, I have been an eBay seller since 1998 -- yep, 23 years -- and I have 100% positive feedback. Bid with confidence.
