FM Club Kit 1958

Starting in the second issue, FM began running an ad for it's new "Famous Monsters Club". If you sent in 75¢ for your lifetime membership, you got a "Vice President" badge (1.5"), wallet size membership card, a certificate (8.5" x 11") and a free classifieds ad in the mag. The certificate is extremely rare! I've only seen one sell on ebay (2005 for $405).

  2. I only have the badge, too. If I want a $400 certificate, I'll just print one out.

    I'm looking for pics of other monster mag club items, if somebody has anything to scan.

  4. I have that one, too, but don't have the other items included with the later kits.

    I was also thinking of club kits from other mags, like Fantastic Monsters, The Monster Times and whoever else had them.

    The club kit was the usual badge (TMT logo), card and certificate. I don't have any good pics, though.
