From my experience, most stores have the GOLD titles. They may or may not have the SILVER titles.

Most are special reprint editions, with the FCBD banner on the cover. Some cheap bastards (cough cough* Mile High Comics* cough cough) may limit the number of "freebies" you can take (Mile High sells their leftovers as "bargains'). Some shops may even add more stuff to this list-- giving away their pure crap or overstock.

Moral of the story: go to a comic ghetto, err...SHOP this Saturday and you'll get at least one free comic.

My highlight from the past few years has been the Gemstone/Disney offering
