Weren't those 50 cent newsstand covers the best? :o) I used to buy them at 7-Eleven and another convenience store in Foster City, Ca., and i also had a few Marvel subscriptions back then. I remember, i ruined my X-Men Annual #4 to cut out the subscription coupon. They used to come in a brown paper slip that left the top and bottom edges exposed. My X-Men #146 has a chip out the top of the cover because of it (still have that one). And i remember not getting a number of issues in the mail. Was the mailman taking them?? LOL Had that Iron Man issue...
