BUGS BUNNY 64 Page STAMPERS POSTAL EDITION Mini-Comic - 1 (I don't believe this exists)

 

Trust me on this, it exists. During that time when the BUGS BUNNY stamp first came out, the POST OFFICE gave out catologs which shown the comic. I had one of the catologs, but not now. The only way to get the comic book was to join thier STAMPERS CLUB. I already was a member. The PO did this sort of thing a lot around that time with the release of new stamps. Even though I never got to see the actual comic, there it was in the catolog. I would think someone out there must of joined STAMPERS and got one. STAMPERS CLUB was still going in 2000 as I remember. One thing I remember though, once in a while items were no longer available. I ordered Chinese New Year DRAGON stamps from them that included CARDS of the different animals of the years. Well those got cancelled on me. But then on the other hand I ordered UNIVERSAL MONSTER stamps that included CARDS. They told me they were cancelled, but guess what, they arived. I still have those and have never seen anyone that had um. I wonder if I'm the only one that got them?

Ive never even heard of these stampers things, but sometimes, a picture in a catalog of the cover of a comic book doesnt mean the comic was ever produced and relessed. So the proof isnt necessarily in seeing one in a catalog...

Even if the PO didn't give out any wouldn't you still think its shown in a catolog so its possible that one does exist.

 

If you want to see any of my STAMPERS stuff I would need someone to host my scans. I still have problems posting scans. Even PHOTO BUCKET hasn't been of help to me. But most of my STAMPER stuff is mostly CARDS, posters, mags. Not much as far as comics. The 1st DAY ISSUE SUPERMAN STAMP WITH ACTION #1 was originally offered to STAMPERS and later went directly to post offices. Thats shown in the PROMO section in OS. I don't see any mention of STAMPERS with that also. I believe the STAMPERS name was on the wrap for those.

It's taken me over thirty years and I have no intention of selling it.

Having said that, if someone offered me ten million, I'd sell it...

 

You are a master of contradictory statements foreheadslap.gif Now do you want that 10 million in Vietnamese dongs or old Italian lira?

Please don't get mixed up with the regular sized Bugs Bunny Post Office giveaway comic, which is quite common. This is a 64 page mini-comic, and I don't believe it exists. The other one is a regular sized comic with Bugs eating a carrot on the greyish coloured cover.

Ian,

 

Just curious but how can you think a book does not exist? I'm assuming that these promo's were printed in the hundreds or thousands so how can you be so sure?

 

Because I've been searching for years and seen no evidence.

Having said that, Paul Levitz said the Warlord mini-comic didn't exist, yet here it is......

Too bad we don't have a comics-related Golden Turkey award for DTA...

Congrats Ian on putting together all the DC comics ever, especially including all the Restored copies, Married cover copies, and very low grade copies. Truly something every Modern Age collector would be envious of. thumbsup2.gif

 

 

 

 

for those of thinking that DTA even cares about the NA26, you are mistaken. The NA26 he has is a consigned book, DTA is not making or losing money by not selling it. He doesn't care if it sells. The owner set the price of the book. gossip.gifthumbsup2.gif

Well, that was the official story, but I never heard anyone with any direct ties to the affair confirm that tale. Even if it's a true tale, it's not unlikely that DTA was giving the book's owner advice ("stand firm, we'll break 'em, etc.")

 

And if it is in fact true and DTA is totally uninvolved, well then just give the book's owner the turkey award. He'll never sell it now for what he could have.
