Your Official Store Club Magazine - Archie Shoe Store Giveaways 1 1

[GoldenPRGuy]

Collecting the Archie Shoe Store Giveaways is driving me crazy. It's hard enough to find them, let alone know which ones really exist. I know some other collectors on here have some and so I thought this would be a nice place to start a repository of data. According to the CGC Census, only 4 from 1948, 5 from 1949 and 4 from 1950 have been slabbed. According to my own collection, digging and various resources they were printed from 1945 to 1950. So... here we go:

1945
None identified to date

1946
None identified to date

1947
None identified to date

1948
2/48 (6.5 and 9.2 Universal) -- 6.5 GoldenPRGuy
4/48 (9.0 Universal)
9/48 (Raw x1) -- Raw GoldenPRGuy
10/48 (8.0 x2 Universal and Raw x1) -- Raw GoldenPRGuy
11/48 (6.5 Universal)

1949
5/49 (7.0 Universal)
8/49 (6.5, 8.5 and 9.0 Universal and Raw x1) -- Raw GoldenPRGuy
9/49 (9.8 Universal and Raw x1) -- Raw GoldenPRGuy
10/49 (5.0 and 8.0 Universal) -- 5.0 GoldenPRGuy
12/49 (9.2 Universal)

1950
3/50 (8.5 Universal)
5/50 (6.0 Universal)
6/50 (8.0 Universal)
7/50 (9.0 Universal)

I'd love to not only confirm the existence of all of the issues, but get as many images as we can together here. I have grabbed some of the copies from various auction sites and some of my own to post below. Who wants to solve this mystery with me?

Fantastic stuff! Books I have never seen before. Thanks for posting! 
 

Were these reprint stories or original content?

Great question Jayman. The content was original, but not just comic stories, it was a magazine that included interviews and news stories as well.

I am not a big Archie collector but in my over 50 years collecting, I have only run into just a handful of these. You have quite the collection!

Thanks, I do have 6 copies total and all are shown above but not all of the images above are of my copies. I only have two slabbed.
