The Merry Marvel Marching Society (MMMS)

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. -

Have finally filmed video looking at FOOM and WAM fan kits. My hope is that potential collectors wanting to put a kit together now or in future find it of help; -

Marvelmania produced 4 decal sheets of which this is one. This one is different from the others in that it shows only heads of the characters, it is scarcer than the others as you have observed. -

Whilst MWOM is a fairly common comic the whole issue, including covers, was produced on cheap newspaper so to have one in 8.5 or even 8.0 must be quite scarce. What do CGC do with the free gift - leave it inside the comic?

Strange Tales #188 is another which might exist as a pence (but probably not). MSH bucks the trend with the last but one and two issues turning up as rare pence issues. As an aside my favourite title Silver Surfer had Herb Trimpe lined up as penciler for #19.
-
If any more turn up my bet would be Journey Into Mystery (Vol 2) #19 or Where Monsters Dwell #38. Both of these series had the previous few issues distributed then the last issue went ND - just like Sgt Fury.
-
Bit of an odd description. I’ve still got the copy I got several years ago just to see it was real. I remember we were debating how UK distribution of last issues were quite often a reverse of preceding issues distribution and mooted this as one which might turn up and low and behold it did.

The Avengers weekly, released in UK week ending 22 September 1973. Reprints Avengers #4 and Dr Strange from Strange Tales #115; The free gift was a set of 4 transfers - Hulk, Spider-man, Daredevil and Thor. These transfers were dampened and then applied to the skin; The transfers were by Spanish artist Lopez Espi (He also did a set posters you could buy through Marvel UK and many covers for European Marvel editions). Unfortunately you can't appreciate his art on these transfers without applying them but here are stickers of Spider-man, Daredevil and Thor which have the same images;
