''Chicago Tribune'' partial newspaper dated 3 November 1948 featuring 1.5'' banner headline ''DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN,'' one of the most famous newspaper faux-pas of the 20th century. Newspaper is one of the most sought-after papers by collectors, as most of the issues were taken off the stands when the Tribune Co. realized its error. Only 2,000 were estimated to have reached private hands and many have disappeared since 1948. Runs 4pp. Lacking any other interior pages. In very good condition with light soiling and toning.
