Hep, exactly.  The poster that Mike showed was from the Aurora contest, and the trophys were of course the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place vacu-form Frankenstein plaques. THIS contest had these metal Frankenstein trophys,along with posters, entry blanks, certificates,etc.  It is a tough item to find complete, and once in a while you'll see these metal Frankenstein pieces show up once in a great while.

Can you then post pictures of the entry blanks, certificates, posters, etc. that you have from this contest?

[Mike Scott]

This must be one of the posters. No details, at all, on the poster.

[skully]

Mike, Yes!!  That's one of the posters!  As usual, let me ask my son to find a way to post pictures of the rest of the contents, but, again, as usual, it might take a little while.

"bulk back issue comic"? Do they have these in bulk?

[John Pertwee]

They buy in large collections, and they had Vampirella, Creepy, Eerie, Conan, and FM in bulk. I bought all I could, but am going back today for the buy one get one sale.

[Mike Scott]

I mean, do they have multiple copies of issues, or are they mostly one-of-a-kinds?

They bought a very large collection, and they mostly had single copies of issues. There were some issues of Savage Sword of Conan and Mad Magazine that had multiple copies.

I bought 6 more copies yesterday at the Buy one get one Sale.

Hard to believe that a seller could be so incredibly ignorant of values these days.    Any dunderhead can do a quick eBay search and get at least some idea...

Congrats to the buyers.
