I'll post what I have but there's not much. A Superman 486 I think. A Superfriends 13. A tabloid format Battelstar Star Wars or something like that. I'm actually kicking myself for passing over so many of them for an irrational reason.

Nah, don't get me wrong. Read it again and you'll see that I'm making fun of myself for my irrational comic-loving/hating habits. All comic love is good to me. Peace.

Whitmans are a rarity in my collection because I absolutely hated them as a kid! They were fake - not DCs! Not Marvels! Some cheap knockoff issue so I actively avoided them. Still wound up with a few though, all in average condition I think. Still hate 'em. It's ingrained in me. Can't believe people seek them out but that's the 12 year old in me talking.

He'll need a better superhero name that doesn't give away his secret identity and a better power than grading diamonds accurately.

I have only 1 in my collection - Marvel Two-in-one #39 from May 1978.

I’ve been curious about these inserts (not just Mark Jeweler & National Diamond Sales) and catalogued the ones in my collection. I’ve listed them below, sorting by Insert Type, Year, Month, and Title. The most interesting one to me is the Pizzazz insert in Marvel Two-in-One 39. I only have this 1 Pizzazz centerfold variant. I found this copy on eBay of a CGC notation for a Pizzazz insert. Pizzazz Variant I think the Atari and CBS may have been standard or at least plentiful.
