A Chicago Sun-Times newspaper cover headlined "Wet Bandits" from Chris Columbus' Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. A newspaper ominously blew onto the McCallister porch the night before Kevin's (Macaulay Culkin) trip to New York.

This color-printed newsstock cover headlined "Wet Bandits' escape during prison riot," dated "December 23 1992," and featuring Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv's (Daniel Stern) mugshots was jointly designed by prop master William Dambra and Chicago Sun-Times marketing director Todd Galbate, who organized its printing by the Sun-Times' real presses for authenticity. Additional unrelated sports articles and images are printed on the reverse, while the interior is blank. The cover exhibits a vertical fold line, a notable red ink stain in its bottom right corner, and spine discoloration from production and age. Dimensions: 11.5" x 15" (29.25 cm x 38.25 cm)

Additional Provenance: Letter of Authenticity from Galbate.

Estimate: $3,000 - 6,000
