Ameila Earhert's 200 Toys For $1

Skepticism doesn't even begin to describe this comics ad from the Silver Age! Getting 200 toys and games for a single buck probably seems like an amazing deal, especially since it was sponsored by the Amelia Earhart Foundation with proceeds supposedly going toward benefitting children's leukemia research. The entire package is advertised as coming with toy vehicles, dolls, puzzles and figurines made of plastic, metal, and rubber which were the basics for kids' disposable entertainment back then. Even though they are labeled as being "reproductions" of these kind of toys which makes you wonder if they were some of the world's first advertised bootleg toys. All this plus a free bonus record of various children's songs provided by the Pride Record Co. with each package of which you could get up to 5 at a time giving you a max of a thousand toys per order. You would think that a full set of this would set you for all your nephew/niece's birthday gifts for the rest of their lives, but the chances are that it was a box of scattered cutouts and mass-produced cheap shotty products along with an LP probably made of used cardboard paper. If Dept. NKE of the clandestine Giant Toys organization was in fact legit with these toys labeled as not being available in stores, it's hard to determine with no evidence suggesting otherwise. Maybe this was the real reason Earhart went missing in order to rake in the bucks for knockoff toys sold only through the post.
