Kelso1 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hello all. Newcomer to this forum. I have this question about my club certificate. This kit is unlike any I have seen. It is in the original shipping envelope and dated July 1953. Inside is the full kit (certificate, patch, pin, and card) in a plastic sleeve with card and certificate unsigned. This one is the lowest number I have seen. #372. No bent corners or fading, but a touch of discoloration on one edge. It's as it was stored away immediately after receiving it. Any opinions?

TellshiarMarvelmaniaCollector Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 That is very cool, as well as complete and high-grade. So what are you looking to do, pawn or sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what are you looking to do, pawn or sell? The consideration is of selling it. I am unsure if I should even frame it or keep it as packed for safety. I just don't have a proper way of displaying it at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I don't do free apprasials. Google is your friend... No appraisal needed. My post was more of a question to weather or not I should treat my certificate as rare. I'm not much on having something if I cant enjoy it and frankly while the certificate is neat, I'd enjoy a classic comic more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a fair amount of these over the years and I’m pretty sure yours is the lowest number I’ve seen. Value wise it probably doesn’t make much difference to those who like and want one of these kits. Seems the pin is the toughest part to find and the most desirable piece of the kit. This kit and the 3 photos are the only fan club items produced by EC. I love the comics but these were a must have for me. I enjoy the heck out of mine. Great piece, and I would keep it if I were you. Edited September 16, 2019 by Robot Man tv horror 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
