Many collectors have stopped checking eBay, because eBay no longer has the excellent selection that it once did. However, you never know what might suddenly appear on eBay at any given moment. That's why I check eBay every single day without fail.
I found nothing of interest on eBay from December 18 through February 9. That is almost eight weeks. Others would have given up on eBay, but I keep checking no matter what. I was finally rewarded in the late evening of February 10.
I checked my eBay feed and saw a picture of the promotional papers for the Nancy Drew Twin Thrillers book club editions. I have wanted to get the promotional papers for quite some time. I saw the low price of $9.99 plus postage and clicked on the listing as quickly as I could. I saw that the listing was set as Buy It Now and didn't bother to read the description. I knew that I had to act fast, because the listing would not last long. I managed to complete the Buy It Now just 11 minutes after the seller listed the item. The good items always go fast on eBay.
The paperwork is missing the original mailing envelope and the order form, but the letter and the color brochure are present.
Use the following link and scroll to the bottom of the page to see the mailing envelope, order form, and return envelope that I do not have.

An advertisement for the book club can also be found in the first issue of Pizzazz magazine from October 1, 1977.
