My favorite Marvel Value Stamp story concerns a young comic fan who bragged about scoring a copy of Incredible Hulk #181 for a very low price. “Did you check to make sure the page with Marvel Value Stamp wasn’t cut out?” asked an older, wiser fan. “What’s a Marvel Value Stamp?” replied the puzzled younger fan. Caveat emptor, True Believers!
