Combat Insignia / War Insignia albums for World War II Disney unit stamps

These were done by Disney cartoonists, and other animation studios, and at least 201 were printed. There's information from Douglas H. Henkle about the first 5 volumes (#s 1-201) at https://www.folklib.net/fdc/wwii-combat-insignia.shtml and https://www.folklib.net/fdc/wwii-combat-insignia2.shtml and for the mysterious volume 6 which apparently had 200, most of which were not repeats of the first 200. Also, he's found horizontal and vertical versions of the stamps.

 

Box cover

 

One thing Mr. Henkle may have missed is that the first 4 albums were also sold as a boxed set. I recently bought one on e-Bay. I've emailed him my photos.

Marvel Value Stamps: A Visual History (2023) book

 I had meant to write something about the actual book, never got around to it, and so never mentioned that the book by Roy Thomas exists. 

There was a calendar in 2024 ...

and a new one for 2025. The cover is exactly the same art, but with a different color. I'll bet it's just an updated version of last year's.

and did I ever mention this 2017 giveaway folder?

 A friend of mine bought this in an auction and sent it to me. I'd never seen it before. It's published by Fleetwood in a black pleather folder.

 A friend told me about these today. They appear to be numbered DC 1-6 and Marvel (M) 7-12. Images harvested from Amazon, which doesn't have any of them for sale.
