Below is a very historic find. This questionnaire was included with the first kit, in 1969. It sheds light on both the incorrect size of the Incredible Hulk decal (in the Marvel Comics ads) and what Super Heroes merchandise young Marvelites wanted.
I was able to speak to the original owner (who is a great guy) and he gave me permission to post this. It shows that the westerns were no longer popular by the end of the Silver-Age and that boys didn't read Millie The Model!
He pretty much wanted everything that collectors today scramble to find on eBay, at flea markets and garage sales. Apparently, a Marvelmania jacket wasn't popular because the club never manufactured one; however, if they did then its value would rival (or exceed) that of the Marvel shirts available in the mid-1960's.

The items sold from this club are among the most desirable and valuable of all Marvel Comics memorabilia. Unfortunately, it was an unscrupulous business that often times never sent paying members their merchandise. It got so bad that Marvel ran an ad announcing that they were no longer affiliated with the club, in the early-1970's.
