Tan boards with bright Red/Orange illustrated design matching that of the silhouette design on the DJ. Corners are sharp.

The original DJ shows a couple of chips and a 1 inch closed tear to the front at the top. DJ shows spotting, mostly around edges on DJ rear and on the backstrip. Currently, DJ spotting is untreated, but with a little care, this can brighten up. A desirable collection of a most desired title, in the first printing, signed by Carl Raswan.
