Background
The Archie Club was a fan membership initiative run by Archie Comics. Kids could join the club via adverts in Archie Comics issues — often through submitting letters or art — and members sometimes received items like this badge, newsletters, or certificates. These badges are now considered collectible comic memorabilia, particularly appealing to Archie Comics fans and vintage pop culture collectors.
