Won the No-price?

[Agentum]

When reading older Marvel books there is often talked about the No-price in the letter pages when a reader corrected a misstake in a story.

I understand this was just an empty envelope or something.

But has anybody here won one of those?

My dad won one. He's still got the thing, though he doesn't remember what it was for.

And the No-Prize wasn't given for those who corrected a mistake. It was given to those who either provided a reason something wasn't a mistake in the first place or went above-and-beyond the call of a normal fan (like trying to explain powers scientifically).

The No Prize has actually been revived. Now it's an email, though, and they're no longer for anything specific.

I never won the No-Price. I have to pay for all my books.

The award is actually the No Prize award not the No Price. I can see how you could mistake this as the C and Z key are close to eachother. Can I get a No Prize award please?

That was originally true, but I believe there was a time when they were givin' them out just for finding a mistake. I've also heard that some editors were more anal about what they'd give out no-prizes for than others. (It's only an empty envelope, after all.)
