Reply to comment by NewCanadianMTurker in TIL The Marvel No-Prize is a empty envelope that Marvel awarded fans for "meritorious service to the cause of Marveldom". Typically it was won by submitting an explanation for an error in a comic, but rules varied from author to author. The prize was inspired by George R. R. Martin. by jamescookenotthatone

It was not supposed to be anything. The back of comics had a letters section and Stan Lee would respond to the letters. He would write "you won a No Prize". He was joking, but people would then write back saying they had not received it.
