This image called "Smiling Hun" is based on a drawing from the year 1869. It's a bit of a rare Family Dog poster we don't see come through the doors here very often at PAE.

This is the first CGC graded example we have seen. It's issues like this that represent a TREMENDOUS value. Don't be fooled. Anyone can say they have  a decent copy but examples that meet the super strict CGC grading standards of 9.2 or better are a TINY fraction of surviving examples and ridiculously undervalued and under appreciated at today's market levels.
