Doc Savage premium envelope return address
The beautiful Doc Savage set of two premium pictures from Street & Smith are a most desirable addition to any collection. The pictures were obtained by cutting 3 consecutive coupons from Doc Savage magazines. Curiously, the pictures were of different sizes. (more…)
This site is aimed specifically at collectors of premiums from vintage radio and early TV shows. Radio shows such as Captain Midnight, Jack Armstrong, the Lone Ranger, Sky King, Dick Tracy, Radio Orphan Annie, Green Hornet, Superman, Tarzan, Tom Mix and many others offered premiums via the airways to their young listeners. Many of the above shows continued to offer premiums after the switchover to television while picking up a few new shows offering items along the way: Space Patrol, Howdy Doody, Captain Video, etc. Premium collecting extends into items offered through the comic books, pulp magazines, gas stations, cereal boxes, movie serials, candy wrappers, Dixie lids, etc. of the period. This is what makes premium collecting so exciting- the more obscure the premium, the more it’s sought after. (more…)
