Some famously monstrous Payola.
Of course.  The Ghouls Eye sticker FM #4 variant and the MT Graves sticker on the variant cover of FM #6 were, in fact, paid commericials for the ride in the amusement park near Philadelphia and the MT Graves show in Miami.  Those issues were printed in small amounts and only distributed in their respective cities and the surrounding area.

Just as an FYI for those who are unaware, FM #6 with the MT Graves sticker is the rarest of all FMs.  Only four or five legitimate copies are known to exist and it never comes up for auction (at least I've never seen one).  FM #4  with the Ghouls Eye sticker is the second rarest FM ever printed.  While the FM #4 variant  pops up occasionally on auctions, it is usually in pretty bad condition.  The few issues that are around are not in very good shape for the most part.
