This is for a very scarce 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (8 1/2 x 11 sheet folded into quarters) pink paper stock card which reads "Seasons's Greetings from the ARBM Glee Club," made by the ARBM Boys in the 1960s. The ARBM Boys were Bruce Pelz, Ted Johnstone and Jack Harness. Inside of the card has artwork of The Cult by Jack Harness. The Cult always consisted of 13 rotating members who contributed to a zine always subtitled "Fantasy Rotator." I believe this was issued with an issue of Fantasy Rotator. All 3 ARBM Boys were also associated with the LASFS (the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Association), as well as The Cult, other APAs (Amateur Press Associations) and other fannish organizations and groups. This is original, and was in a larger collection of 1960s and 1970s fanzines (including many issues of Fantasy Rotator) which I acquired about 6 years ago. Bruce Pelz was noted for leading LA SciFi fandom for decades, and was chair of the 1972 World-Con, co-chair of LA Con I, co-chair of WesterCon 22 in 1969, as well as leadership involvement in numerous other conventions.
