 The above Marvelmania International Club Card is from my own personal collection when I joined back in 1970! True, it is a little worn, but I was really proud to be a card carrying member back in the early 1970's!
 The Above Picture is Showing What I Would Have Received If I Had Joined In 1969 When the Club Was First Announced with everything in Color!!  The above items are what I received when I joined Marvelmania, everything was in black and white at that time.

| MARVELMANIA INTERNATIONAL! Couldn't resist posting the membership card to the MarvelMania International club pictured at the top left, as I was asked what comic clubs I had joined when I was younger. Of Course I was a member of the M.M.M.S, but that didn't last too long. Shortly afterwards the Marvel Bullpen Page announced a new club for Marvel Fans! The MarvelMania Club started in 1969 and early members received kit #1 which had its' membership items in full color. When I joined in 1970, kit #2 was mailed to me. For a whopping $1 bill I received:
Note: Marvelmania Magazine only lasted for six issues. This was the second club based on Marvel Comics, however it was a business outside the direct control of the Marvel Comics publishing group, but like the earlier M.M.M.S. it didn't last long.... The membership kit included flyers to purchase additional items. As I was just graduating high school and entering college, my income was minimal. The few items I did buy from the club were resold at the SDCC during the following years. Thanks for reading this popular culture - comics - comic books blog post and feel free to comment below !
