This came from Paulie's daughter. Untouched printer's proof. No tack holes, creases, or imperfections of any kind. Flawless original condition from 1961. This is a gem for the One Pocket enthusiast, a relic from the first ever documented tournament. Great cream paper, one of the best vintage items I have owned, great historical piece.

I would post this on one pocket dot org but I locked my account out, oops 😬

Very cool. You should make some reprints. I bet a ton of people would like to have this for poolrooms and home rooms.

Not too many of these from 1961 still out there, any other owners would likely be displeased if I ran prints

There is only one other like this still out there, as far as I know. He would probably slap me if I did that

I few of these came up for sale several years back on eBay. (I missed out on the first one but made sure to get the second one that came out, just beating out Freddy the Beard's bid.) I think there is also a copy hanging at a former Jansco property, maybe a bar or golf club, in Johnston City.

Fair enough, I will update the post. I had some from the other years also, but hadn't seen the 1961 version floating around. Thanks for the information.

Also interesting to see the red mark under the N is larger on yours

It's like there was a mark on the printing plate and it accumulated more ink over the print run. Neat way to ID these
 
A flaw is a good identifier for authenticating things of value, or not, 21 days is a good one too...
