If you're over 50, you undoubtedly remember their ads in comics and kids' magazines to earn extra cash by selling this rag. I don't believe I ever actually met anyone who made "$1-5 A Week!"; I don't think I ever actually saw an issue! I put it up there with those ads for a hundred army men for a buck and X-Ray Spex - it's all just sort of a background mythology of one's childhood. I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone with first-hand experience selling or reading this thing back in the 50's or 60's.
