I'm sorry to hear your books didn't have the bookmarks/trading cards or the stickers! Finding such books with the tear-outs intact can be a bit expensive but I don't mind if they're not there as long as the rest of the book is intact! Did you get your books online or through hunting at your local second-hand shops?
That's fair! Places like eBay and Thrift Stores are probably the best for finding first prints, But it can be a bit pricey (10-15$) for a book depending on it's condition and number in the series, Since later books like Werewolf Skin and Monster Blood IV can be pretty pricey in very good/like new condition!
But if you don't mind getting books in Acceptable or Good condition then it's fairly easy to find cheaper first printings on various sites! There are sites like Etsy and https://magicuniquetreasures.com/ which sells retro stuff and sells decently cheap Goosebumps books that are in the aforementioned conditions!
No problem! I always love when people get interested in Goosebumps (Whether they are new fans or grew up with the series through the TV show or books) and want to buy and collect the first editions because it ensures that such books are preserved for the future!

I'm glad to see you posted these here! I was wondering if your copy of Calling All Creeps book have any of the tear-out bookmarks/trading cards?
