There is an image of a no-prize envelope available here, could someone please upload it? TheCoolestDude 19:40, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

"Although the No-Prize had been intended by Stan as a reminder for his readers to "lighten up" and read comics for pleasure rather than for prizes, they soon became very popular, and recipients of the No-Prize began to write Stan and ask him why they had not received a prize. In response, he began mailing empty envelopes that said "Congratulations, this envelope contains a genuine Marvel Comics No-Prize which you have just one!" to people who had received No-Prizes."

Is the spelling error (one) yours or Stan Lee's? Or is it intentional? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.100.200.14 (talk) 20:02, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More work needed

In the origin section I had never heard of the idea of other companies rewarding fans for detecting errors before. Is this true? If so it should probably be sourced. Also I added a few sentences about the nature of the no-prize. When I was reading Marvel comics the no-prize was not given out for discovering continuity errors but for explaining the errors away. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.167.71.152 (talk) 17:47, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
