November 1971 edition of Rolling Stone, mediocre condition. $29.99 + $5 shipping.

I was reading Hunter Thompson's wiki the other day and noticed the date the first part of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was published in Rolling Stone, so I checked eBay for it. Guy selling it had it listed w/ Rolling Stone and Ralph Steadman on the title line, so people just searching for HST didn't get it on their search results. I put in the minimum bid, and stared at the screen for the last 20 minutes, to make sure no one scummed me.

Only other one I saw for sale was on Amazon, also in mediocre condition, for $225. Since it is basically a 40year old newspaper, I wouldn't expect to find one in great condition.

Not the one I got, but this is what it looks like.
