I bought a small Spider-Man collection recently and 1 of the books was from a subscription sealed in a bag with this.

That's awesome. Looks like a Larsen Spiderman. I still have a copy of New Warriors #10, unopened in the original subscription bag and board from the nineties. It has a Dale Keown Hulk printed on the board. I guess I was so excited for New Warriors that bought one off the stands before my subscription was mailed. HA

I was getting a subscription direct from Marvel into the 2000s; they always came with something like that. The subscription was a great deal but they shipped it with that board as the only protection so sometimes my comic was less than minty.

That's THE reason I no longer subscribe from Marvel.

Marvel subscriptions in the 80s was simply the comic in a brown paper wrapper sleeve, like it was wrapped in a brown grocery bag.

I mostly found it weird because the subscription was actually handled by Midtown Comics. Why couldn't they ship it the way they ship all their other stuff? Then again, I later had a pull list with Midtown and stopped it because my stuff was being delivered with dings in it, so maybe it doesn't matter. It's good to support my LCS.
