Several thoughts:
— All three are due July 7, 2026. The Memory Album Calendar and the Black Light Posters Calendar list for $19.99 each. The Marvel Value Stamps Calendar lists for $17.99.
— The Memory Album Calendar has been rejiggered to follow the proper 2027 dates. For example, Jan. 1, 2027, is a Friday. Jan. 1, 1977, was a Saturday. This is the third straight year Marvel and Abrams have reprinted the calendar from 50 years prior. Marvel produced the calendars from 1975 to 1981, so it looks like more will be coming for the next several years.
— This is also the third consecutive year they’ve released a Black Light Posters Calendar. The first two were designed to have detachable pages suitable for framing. This one is more of a traditional calendar. It’s also not clear which posters will be included in this edition. Third Eye produced 24 in all. (I’m kind of surprised they didn’t make a calendar of Third Eye’s notecards instead this year.)
— This is the fourth year for the Marvel Value Stamps Calendar.
