  1. I was curious if anyone has seen a recalled copy of #521 on sale at any point? Was curious what one might be worth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Fold-in "In 2013, a completed Jaffee Fold-In about mass shootings was pulled from issue #521 when the editors realized the issue's on-sale date would coincide with the beginning of Aurora theater shooter James Holmes' court trial, which had been delayed. This turned out to be untrue, as the trial had not yet started, and in fact was scheduled to begin in October 2014, some 18 months after the editorial decision to nix the Fold-In was made. The run of Mad covers, which had already been printed, was destroyed, and a repeat Fold-In was used as a replacement. #521 thus became just the second issue of Mad since 1964 not to include new work by Jaffee. One copy was inadvertently sent out to a subscriber as a replacement copy, who scanned and uploaded the Fold-In."
