^{I think I've only seen 2 or 3 of these so far, but I am wondering if these are recognized as variant books (similar to Mark Jewelers). I am not sure what percentage of books have the ads in them, but it appears to be a very limited number.}

I believe these were only found in October ‘83 Marvel comics(July cover date). Not sure there’s much of a premium attached to them, but I’m sure someone collects the issues containing them.

Clarification.

That makes sense. Mine is in Red Sonja 2 and the only other one I saw via Google was Alpha Flight 3, both from 10/83. I only see Canadian edition on the census, so I wonder if they would be recognized as variants. Guess i'll find out if RS3 is worth a nice chunk in 30 years.

Here you go. Conan #151 with “Bubblicious” noted on label.

nice. Just a "note" on the label with nothing on the census, so like newsstand/direct and other variations, there's no accurate count on them.
