 No example of the (in)famous ""25(Cheap)"" (the ""(Cheap)""). 

Back in the 50's, back when *I* read the magazine, on the cover, just
after the price was this: ""(Cheap)"".

Clearly, whoever participated in creating this wiki-article didn't know that, wasn't reading it back then, because you just couldn't miss it, it stood right out.

Clearly, before changing anything, someone's got to verify this with maybe several people of somewhere near my age (67) who read it back then  or maybe simply call the magazine and ask, and get them to email you pictures of several issues that showed the ""(cheap)"" thing.

I think that even when it went to 50-cents it kept that suffix, ""(cheap)"".

Maybe when in attendance at some meeting with at least some attendees old enough to have read it in the 50's, at question time stand up and ask THE AUDIENCE what, if anything, on the front cover immediately followed the price.

Or act like a beggar on the subway, and walk through from car to car, LOUDLY asking in each one ""anyone read MAD Magazine in the 50's or early 60's?""  Yes?
Well, I'm trying to verify something  what words, if any,always immediately followed the front-cover price?

Follow through on this somehow, and you'll improve the page.

(I assume that my comment here is NOT the first one to appear here!)

CHEERS!

PS: Having never edited a wiki-article, and having just ""registered"" a few minutes ago, I'm just notifying you of this (cheap) thing, and letting someone else fix it, if interested.
