Artboy99 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Seeking Help! 7-11 1970`s Silver Surfer cup image Hi all, I am trying to find what the back of the 1970 era 7-11 cup of the Silver Surfer looks like. I have a customer requesting a commission of the cup and while I can find the front image I can`t find the back. I figured within this community of comic enthusiasts there is someone that has one of these cups that could take a picture of the back for me. Or perhaps someone has a picture of the back view already and could send it to me. Much appreciated. Here is the front of the cup I am speaking of.

01TheDude Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I held on to my original 7-11 Marvel cups for decades though they were all from the 1977 series. Even had the original tear sheet that you could use to check off as you completed the collection. Think I sold the lot of them for about 75 bucks plus shipping before I moved to Arizona. My friends were amazed they went for that much. I might have sold them for more individually-- based on how many people seem to list them these days. Either way-- I am happy they found a new home. Not that I didn't like them or anything-- but the fact is that the plastic these types of cups are made of is pretty fragile-- more so than comics imo. Over time it breaks down and eventually these cups will all fall apart. Mine were in single use shape, hand washed/cleaned and preserved as best I could do-- but I could see the writing on the wall. I have the pictures of them-- and that is plenty to keep my memories. It was a glorious time-- twice a month after making paper route collections I would ride my bmx bike up to the 7-11, grab all the new comics I could find, a bunch of candy bars, and pick up a slurpee cup. Probably didn't cost me much more than 7 or 8 bucks but it was a priceless memory. Artboy99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comicdave Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I can remember buying these back in the 1970s. I had several of the DC series, I think there were 60 in the series, so i may have had around 40. The 1975 Marvel series I can't remember if I had all of them or was missing a couple. The 1977 wrap-around series i had all 40 cups plus the 6 glasses. After being stored in a large bag and thrown in a closet for 20 years I eventually sold them. I got decent $$ for them, but seeing the pictures in this thread brings back a lot of fond memories. It would be nice to have them back, but i'm sure they would just be boxed up and stored in my closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I never knew about Clea! And I worked at a 7-11 for 2 years around 1984! But now I may keep an eye out for Doc and Clea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
