A little bump, and a little reminder: The comics that have been consigned to mycomicshop in Jimbo's name have now made it to the weekly auction, which ends tomorrow. Here are the six comics, proceeds of which go, of course, to the cause. Check 'em out, put in a bid! https://www.mycomicshop.com/auctions?agid=623&sn=jimjum12

For what it's worth, these 22 books are issue nos. 11, 23, 36, 58, 63-70, 73, 75, 78, 88-91, 98, 113 and 114.

Adding to speedcake's explanation. Can't speak to how the stateside military bases worked, but overseas there was usually a "Stars and Stripes" bookstore separate from the PX/BX. Comics were sold here, as well as books, magazines and the Stars and Stripes daily newspaper. All these materials were stamped at time of sale before they went out the door, in lieu of a register receipt. I'm sure there's a small sliver of collectors who favor star-stamped copies.

Finally! I've found an Avengers #4 in great shape! And for only $15! Oh, wait . . .

These are from Captain America #23, cover date Feb. 1943

I look forward to seeing the evolution from MMMS to Marvelmania to FOOM. My topic relating to MMMS is focused on those lists of MMMS members that were published in the late silver age. But eventually the posts took a turn to showcase MMMS memorabilia in general. I'm glad you have started a thread dealing specifically with that!

And the nice thing about selling here (which I admittedly haven't done much, except for the VCC) is that instead of form letters, unanswered questions, and bureaucracy, you get a community of fellow collectors who are (usually) very friendly and helpful with the how-to part of things. Plus direct seller-to-buyer contact, of course.

The torch is from ST #115. STOP ME!

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!

Finally another hit! You're in Two-Gun Kid #79, on the Bullpen Bulletins page with 24 fellow Marchers. Most of the online "read comics for free" sites have this entire issue including ad pages, so check it out!

I've been going to Eckman's shows for YEARS! Admission is cheap, and the focus is on collecting, not so much guests or cosplay. For this show I'm actually renting a space to sell some of my own collection -- mostly Amazing Spider-Man 125-400 and Savage Sword of Conan. (Or is it The Amazing Conan and Savage Sword of Spider-Man? I always get those guys confused.)

Another great thread, Straw-Man! I'm waiting for someone to really push the envelope with a Groovy #1.

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. Since I've catalogued 11,000+ names, does that mean there were over 40,000 MMMS members? Can that be right? Anyway, I'm happy to check these things out, and to bump the thread! PM me, boardies, if you have a similar request.
