Sorry it took so long to reply, Bill, since I haven't checked in on this thread for a while.  I'm often discouraged by how many names I'm asked to look up that did NOT get published.  Alas, yours didn't appear either, Bill, and we're now at 7 hits out of 23 requests since I finished this and posted it nearly three years ago.  :sorry:

Since I've catalogued 11,000+ names, does that mean there were over 40,000 MMMS members?  Can that be right? (shrug) 

Anyway, I'm happy to check these things out, and to bump the thread!  PM me, boardies, if you have a similar request.

Wow, Thanks so much.  I have a ton of Marvel Comic Books from the 1960s that i saved as a kid, but never collected Two Gun kid, so I never did find my name.  Thank you again.  I am going to include this on a video on my YouTube channel.  Joe

Cool Marvel merch, BlueChip.  Now, if someone wants to cite the original comic that each of these images was taken from, they're even a bigger comic nerd than I am! :whatthe:

One of the Thor ones is clearly from the cover of JIM #89, and another looks like it's from #104.

There was a set released in Australia in the 70's, and this was in fact the best sticker set I've ever seen. It featured all the heroes and villains in classic poses against a white background, with only the character's name in black text.

What made the set a standout was the beautiful printing and colour - I remember Iron Man and Hawkeye looked amazing.

Anyone ever seen these? They were offered in Marvel Comics in 1966-67. I still need the Hang Loose button as there were 5 of them.

Very jealous. Never seen anything other than a picture (but I am in UK). These are genuinely scarce and usually sell for several hundred dollars each. Produced by the Super Heroes Club (who also did some Marvel posters) they were advertised as Batty Bullpen Booster Buttons. As you say there is a fifth “Hang Loose” button.

Here's scan of the two MMMS membership cards I have - first and second sets. Dale Meyler (from Texas, I have the mailing envelope) and Greg McAninch being the original members.

That is a superb piece of writing on the membership form! I'd be proud of having written those lines. Stan Lee was a genius when it came to connecting with kids. The only comparable people were the ones working at Topps.

Hello!

I picked this FF41 double-cover up off the boards this morning and am VERY curious to know if anybody here has any ideas about the custom MMMS name stamp that appears on the cover with the member's name, as appears here for "Willie"? (of the Willie Cosey variety; not the Willie Lumpkin variety)

Thanks in advance for any help!
