We’re still cleaning up our stockroom! Today we found pins — lots of pins that we thought you might like to see. This first photo has some of the rarest.

Here's the story on them:

The white cloisonné pin with the red logo was one of several pins given away as a premium if you subscribed to MAD in the 1980s. Other pins in the subscription giveaway were the two featuring Spy vs. Spy, the MAD Zeppelin, Arthur the Plant, Flip the Bird and the black and white Alfred pin.

The blue cloisonné pin with the yellow MAD logo was a “staff and freelancers only” pin Annie Gaines had made during the same time.

The 14k gold logo pin in the upper right was a “staff only” pin Bill Gaines commissioned in either the '60s or '70s and is quite rare.

The small Spy pin (second row down, on the far right) was a mistake (too small) and very few, if any, went out to subscribers.

The football helmet and the gold Alfred head were pins that the pin salesman, Brian Fitterman, had made just for fun. The Alfred is very rare, the football helmet less so.

Over the years, several pins were commissioned to be given away at San Diego Comic-Con, among them the yellow Alfred head, the red logo, the square Alfred and Spy pins and the small "Vote Alfred" pin.

The large "Alfred for President" pin was made to promote the pop-up book, MAD About Politics, while the "WOOF" pin was made to promote the book Bo Confidential.

The rectangular "Alfred for President" pin (second row, left) is an original from the first "Alfred E. Neuman for President" kit which was sold in the magazine in 1960. It is also somewhat rare.

Before there were cloisonné pins, there were traditional buttons. The next photo is a complete set of all the different buttons made as premiums for subscribing to MAD.

How many of all these do you have? Which are your favorites? If you could only possess one, which one would you choose? Let us know in the comments because…you never know! (Hint: Don’t pick the 14k gold one!)

Circa 1971

Circa 1989 (No longer wearing those shorts, thankfully)

Why wait to be horrified by the next Republican Presidential debate when you can simply go on down to your local Barnes & Noble (or bn.com) and pick up a copy of the latest MAD book? This soon-to-be-bestseller contains such classic MAD movie satires as The Ecchorcist, Rosemia’s Boo-Boo, The Bland Witch Project and The Calamityville Horror. Plus Sergio Aragones’ A MAD Look At…A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Mummy, Zombies and The Twilight Saga. Plus many, many more delightful articles that we could list here, but nobody reads long blog posts. Who has the time or the attention span? In fact, we would bet very, very few readers are still reading the very words that we’re typing right now. And even those of you who are still ”reading” are probably skimming at best, and you’re mere nano-seconds away from dumping out and going to some sick, twisted site that makes you feel "special” in a way that makes us want to take a shower. Oh, a shower. You’d like that now, wouldn’t you? All nice and wet and sudsy? Get some help, creep.

Think you can figure out what's going on in this sketch by Hermann Mejia? Take your best shot in the comments, smartypants! We'll give you a hint: it's not a parody of The Help.
