Marvel used to mail the subscription issues such that they could be folded to fit into mail boxes.

The result was the heavy crease down the center of the book, like this ASM 50.

When I had a subscription in the Bronze Age, the subscription books were mailed with a brown wrapper around it, but open at the ends.  No carboard, just the wrapper which had your mailing address on it.  I didn't have any creases, just blunt corners.  

I have seen quite a few creased copies of issue 50 🤔

This is where I began buying Spideys off the comic rack in stores...and the following issues to the end of my Bronze run are my originals.

Great books.  ASM 107 was one of the earliest bronze age comics my older brother bought off the stands.  I didn't officially get into the game until ASM 153, the only comic I still own.
