I had no idea and hadn't taken a close look at it before I sent it in. From everything I've read they only started in 1972. Is it possible/accurate that 101 has a mark jewelers insert? They started in April 1971. #101 should have the insert. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a double NDS insert in a Spidey #96, but I don't think I've ever seen an upside down insert. This might interest you HM - my old list of Amazing Spidey's that had inserts that weren't MJ, NDS and Pizzazz: I always thought it odd that the Bubblicious / Maxwell ad was in both direct and newsstand editions (ASM #245): And I always liked the different, final Pizzazz type: wormboy, hamiltonnathan, mec3437 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamiltonnathan Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I do collect all inserts. Just got the Amazing 262 with the Mark Jewelers and Bose wrap - I think all MJV's have the Bose wrap for the ASM 262 - but I was glad to get it. Also, I do collect any inserts in any books up to like 1995, WAM, Pizzazz, Tattozz, Bubble Yum, Bubblicious, what else, I am drawing a blank, Mennen and Alka-Seltzer wraps, I only have one double cover (Gold Key Tweety and Sylvester)!

Using MCS as a checklist for MJI’s is unreliable, mostly due to them listing issues that have never been found to contain the ad. jcjames 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably a lot of work - very cool. It's actually a double mylite2 Wormboy. I used to cut a Mylite2 to the shape of the comic, add the sticker to the front of that, and then place it against 3 backing boards in a second sealed Mylite2. That way, the sticker was nowhere near the comic and the outer Mylite2 stopped it attracting dust or sticking to the next comic. The end effect was a solid slab and they looked really cool I have to say. Quite costly though - three boards and two Mylites per comic - but I put all 2,000 ASM's into them back in the day with all the variations noted - here's a few more pics from the files: The stickers got gradually more advanced as I went along - here's my current project - issue specific stickers for each of the 26 L Miller distribution variants: It's something to do isn't it wormboy, steveinthecity, mec3437 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
