83. R. Crumb [self-portrait]
(1977).
Robert Crumb created
a set of eleven odd buttons for Kitchen Sink in 1977. Each had
a sub-set number within a small circle. This grumpy self-portrait
is No. 5 in the sub-set. (Do not confuse this button with
Crumb's self-portrait in the "Famous Cartoonist Series,"
#13 and #58.) Do not ask us why sub-set #5 is the second listed
in the master number list. It was assigned master list #83 long
before collectors cared about such things. Please don't ask us
why only four of the eleven Crumb designs appeared in 1977 or
why it took five long years for six others in the set to appear
(see #113-118). Finally, please do not ask us why the eleventh
button (No. 10 in the sub-set) was inexplicably never
manufactured. Just enjoy the ten actually produced while supplies
last.
2.25" diameter. $20.00 (rare limited quantity)
One note, for serious button collectors,
you may want to read the KSP
BUTTON TEXT which explains the numbering systems for
identifying the various buttons produced over the last 30 years,
or see the COMPLETE
KSP BUTTON LIST. The list is VERY long, so be patient
while it loads.
