It would be somewhat embarrassing to have an entire run of ASM Jeweler variants but not have them all be at least VF or better. trademarkcomics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some of the harder ones to find I had to get what I could get. My worst is #108 which is GD- with CT and glue repair. Then again, when I have a #194 in CGC 9.2, a #238 in CGC 9.4 and a #281 in CGC 9.4 with a double cover, I think I can live with the dogs. I can at least say they are all complete.

If you are trying to collect the entire run, then you must accept them in any condition you can get them. I've been doing this for 12+ year with Superman, which is the only complete run I've been able to get (I'm still looking for 7 jeweler variants from the titles of Batman, Detective, Action and Justice League). Of the 158 jeweler variants in the Superman run, my worst one is a solid VG, there's 4 of them that are vg/FN to FN-, and the rest are VF or better. That's thanks mostly to Burning Comics in Belgium. That guy found and re-sold to me a run of approximately 100 VF to NM Superman jeweler variants. ADAMANTIUM and trademarkcomics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My quest for the ASM run started when my buddy who runs the local comic shop fell into a huge collection of MJI books and I got basically a run from 225-260 from him. Only problem is they were not taken care of as well. Most were mid grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trademarkcomics Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I was inspired by Cpt Kirk's observation that it would just be pointless(I'm paraphrasing, obviously) to have a complete MJI collection of a specific title and have copies in mid to low grade. My highest graded Amazing Spider-Man MJI is #177 in 9.6. It made me wonder how rare 9.8 ASM MJIs are. Well, according to GPA and my own experience, there are only 17 ASMs with the insert that are 9.8(in fact, there are more 9.8 ASM double covers in the run from 96-349!). Here are the issues that have 9.8s that have been sold since GPA started compiling sales: #135, 144, 162, 191, 240, 252*, 265, 280, 287, 288, 299, 303, 308, 312, 316, 321, 338. So only 4 from the Bronze Age. Represents just how rare high grade MJI copies are to find! *Not on GPA, I know this from an eBay user showing me a picture of theirs Efrew and icp004 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Qalyar Posted March 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2023 I'm working on the Logan's Run MJI run (which comprises issues #4 through #7). Except for that discolored crease at UL, this newly-acquired copy of #4 at least presents well, but between that flaw, a couple color-breaking spine ticks, and a crunched corner that I'm subtly concealing in this photo, no one is going to mistake this for a high-grade book. The quest continues. ADAMANTIUM, comic_memories, trademarkcomics and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting to me that there are far more jeweler inserts in ASM than a Superman. Mark Jewelers must have believed that Marvel comics were more popular with the military. trademarkcomics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou_fine Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 For all of you Marks Jewwelers aficonados, here is a link to the copy of X-Men 107 with the insert that was auctioned off last night by CC: https://www.comicconnect.com/item/971609 Sold for a seemingly strong price of $9,500 and looks like close to double what the regular CGC 9.8 graded copies have gone for recently in their auctions, and only topped by a regular CGC 9.8 outlier that was auctioned off for $9,800 in one of their Event Auctions back in September of 2019 prior to the pandemic. Just checked my copy of X-Men 107 and darn........................it's just the regular edition without the Marks Jewelers insert.
