Lenny Brenners Original Job Schedule Boards

Here we have some pretty unusual MAD Magazine collectibles directly from the New York MAD Magazine offices!

I bought them some years ago from the late Leslie Setrnbergh and this is what she told me about these items:

I have on hand an unusual collectible. I ‘ll now describe it to you —

When MAD moved from its 485 MADison Avenue space to DC Comics ‘s offices, I was asked by Lenny Brenner if I would like to take this item, and I said OK… Otherwise they ‘d ‘ve thrown it out!

Now, after about a decade and a half, and in the interest of Good Housekeeping, I would like to sell this item to someone who ‘d like to collect such a thing, if there is another such person. What the heck am I talking about?! (Like I should know?) OK, so here ‘s what it is:

It ‘s the posterboard job schedules, mostly probably in Lenny ‘s writing, including job titles and artists/writers ‘ names, for issues — referred to on the boards as “Bill” — 276 through 325 of MAD magazine.

I am interested in allowing this item to be redistributed to someone kooky enough to want it, and thought I would let you know that it exists, and isn ‘t moldering in a landfill somewhere. The total number of these boards is eight, though only seven are all filled with names, titles, and scheduling info; the last one is about half blank.

They ‘re lined like notebook paper, and they ‘re on posterboard. That about sums it up descriptively, although photos and/or further description could be provided, if anyone ‘s nutty enough to be interested in this thing. We don ‘t want to throw it out if someone is.

I‘m open for good offers. Trading is also very welcome!
