Montezuma Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 The gift boxes I've seen had HRN's between 18 and 21 with no price. Most of my no price issues are HRN28 The Mutiny on the Bounty issue above came with the Classic Record, and the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was a twin circle put out by the Catechetical Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montezuma Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Classics did a few record / comics deals, I don't have any of them scanned. But my personal favorite was from Dell Marty Mann and porcupine48 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PopKulture Posted January 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2020 On 1/13/2020 at 10:40 AM, PopKulture said: Somewhere I have some 1950's receipts from a periodical distributor here in Illinois and everything had number of copies ordered written in pencil for every magazine and comic. I presume it was either the proprietor or the delivery driver that penciled in the numbers. In this case, it appeared not to be random. Miracle of miracles, I stumbled across one of the aforementioned order forms this past weekend (I would've thought them buried for much, much longer). I'm guessing this was a smaller newsstand - Cerres Confectionery? - but I hope the relative number of copies ordered is of interest to the casual comic historians among you. Strange that I don't see Superman listed, but this group was stapled together so I'm hopeful no sheets were missing. I'll cross-check with one of the other receipt bundles when I find it.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking to have answered when I started this thread. VERY interesting. Looking at the totals for each comic really lets you know what was popular at the newstand.
