The run starts at 96 and ends at 349. There are a few issues in that run that never had the insert(all double-sized and 98, 99, 103-105, 120, 121, 234, 293, 295, 298 & 323) except for MJIs in 114 & 115, 96-119 are National Diamond inserts. MJIs start regularly at #122... Copy and paste from my spreadsheet: 96 96 1 Diamond 97 97 1 Diamond 98 98 N/A 99 99 N/A 100 100 1 Diamond 101 101 1 Diamond 102 102 N/A 103 103 N/A 104 104 N/A 105 105 N/A 106 106 1 Diamond 107 107 1 Diamond 108 108 1 Diamond 109 109 1 Diamond 110 110 1 Diamond 111 111 1 Diamond 112 112 1 Diamond 113 113 1 Diamond 114 114 1 Mark Jew 115 115 1 Mark Jew 116 116 1 Diamond 117 117 1 Diamond 118 118 1 Diamond 119 119 1 Diamond 120 120 N/A 121 121 N/A 122 122 1 Mark Jew 123 123 1 Mark Jew 124 124 1 Mark Jew 125 125 1 Mark Jew 126 126 1 Mark Jew 127 127 1 Mark Jew 128 128 1 Mark Jew 129 129 1 Mark Jew 130 130 1 Mark Jew 131 131 1 Mark Jew 132 132 1 Mark Jew 133 133 1 Mark Jew 134 134 1 Mark Jew 135 135 1 Mark Jew 136 136 1 Mark Jew 137 137 1 Mark Jew 138 138 1 Mark Jew 139 139 1 Mark Jew 140 140 1 Mark Jew 141 141 1 Mark Jew 142 142 1 Mark Jew 143 143 1 Mark Jew 144 144 1 Mark Jew 145 145 1 Mark Jew 146 146 1 Mark Jew 147 147 1 Mark Jew 148 148 1 Mark Jew 149 149 1 Mark Jew 150 150 1 Mark Jew 151 151 1 Mark Jew 152 152 1 Mark Jew 153 153 1 Mark Jew 154 154 1 Mark Jew 155 155 1 Mark Jew 156 156 1 Mark Jew 157 157 1 Mark Jew 158 158 1 Mark Jew 159 159 1 Mark Jew 160 160 1 Mark Jew 161 161 1 Mark Jew 162 162 1 Mark Jew 163 163 1 Mark Jew 164 164 1 Mark Jew 165 165 1 Mark Jew 166 166 1 Mark Jew 167 167 1 Mark Jew 168 168 1 Mark Jew 169 169 1 Mark Jew 170 170 1 Mark Jew 171 171 1 Mark Jew 172 172 1 Mark Jew 173 173 1 Mark Jew 174 174 1 Mark Jew 175 175 1 Mark Jew 176 176 1 Mark Jew 177 177 1 Mark Jew 178 178 1 Mark Jew 179 179 1 Mark Jew 180 180 1 Mark Jew 181 181 1 Mark Jew 182 182 1 Mark Jew 183 183 1 Mark Jew 184 184 1 Mark Jew 185 185 1 Mark Jew 186 186 1 Mark Jew 187 187 1 Mark Jew 188 188 1 Mark Jew 189 189 1 Mark Jew 190 190 1 Mark Jew 191 191 1 Mark Jew 192 192 1 Mark Jew 193 193 1 Mark Jew 194 194 1 Mark Jew 195 195 1 Mark Jew 196 196 1 Mark Jew 197 197 1 Mark Jew 198 198 1 Mark Jew 199 199 1 Mark Jew 200 200 N/A 201 201 1 Mark Jew 202 202 1 Mark Jew 203 203 1 Mark Jew 204 204 1 Mark Jew 205 205 1 Mark Jew 206 206 1 Mark Jew 207 207 1 Mark Jew 208 208 1 Mark Jew 209 209 1 Mark Jew 210 210 1 Mark Jew 211 211 1 Mark Jew 212 212 1 Mark Jew 213 213 1 Mark Jew 214 214 1 Mark Jew 215 215 1 Mark Jew 216 216 1 Mark Jew 217 217 1 Mark Jew 218 218 1 Mark Jew 219 219 1 Mark Jew 220 220 1 Mark Jew 221 221 1 Mark Jew 222 222 1 Mark Jew 223 223 1 Mark Jew 224 224 1 Mark Jew 225 225 1 Mark Jew 226 226 1 Mark Jew 227 227 1 Mark Jew 228 228 1 Mark Jew 229 229 1 Mark Jew 230 230 1 Mark Jew 231 231 1 Mark Jew 232 232 1 Mark Jew 233 233 1 Mark Jew 234 234 N/A 235 235 1 Mark Jew 236 236 1 Mark Jew 237 237 1 Mark Jew 238 238 1 Mark Jew 239 239 1 Mark Jew 240 240 1 Mark Jew 241 241 1 Mark Jew 242 242 1 Mark Jew 243 243 1 Mark Jew 244 244 1 Mark Jew 245 245 1 Mark Jew 246 246 1 Mark Jew 247 247 1 Mark Jew 248 248 1 Mark Jew 249 249 1 Mark Jew 250 250 1 Mark Jew 251 251 1 Mark Jew 252 252 1 Mark Jew 253 253 1 Mark Jew 254 254 1 Mark Jew 255 255 1 Mark Jew 256 256 1 Mark Jew 257 257 1 Mark Jew 258 258 1 Mark Jew 259 259 1 Mark Jew 260 260 1 Mark Jew 261 261 1 Mark Jew 262 262 1 Mark Jew 263 263 1 Mark Jew 264 264 1 Mark Jew 265 265 1 Mark Jew 266 266 1 Mark Jew 267 267 1 Mark Jew 268 268 1 Mark Jew 269 269 1 Mark Jew 270 270 1 Mark Jew 271 271 1 Mark Jew 272 272 1 Mark Jew 273 273 1 Mark Jew 274 274 1 Mark Jew 275 275 N/A 276 276 1 Mark Jew 277 277 1 Mark Jew 278 278 1 Mark Jew 279 279 1 Mark Jew 280 280 1 Mark Jew 281 281 1 Mark Jew 282 282 1 Mark Jew 283 283 1 Mark Jew 284 284 1 Mark Jew 285 285 1 Mark Jew 286 286 1 Mark Jew 287 287 1 Mark Jew 288 288 1 Mark Jew 289 289 N/A 290 290 1 Mark Jew 291 291 1 Mark Jew 292 292 1 Mark Jew 293 293 N/A 294 294 1 Mark Jew 295 295 N/A 296 296 1 Mark Jew 297 297 1 Mark Jew 298 298 N/A 299 299 1 Mark Jew 300 300 N/A 301 301 1 Mark Jew 302 302 1 Mark Jew 303 303 1 Mark Jew 304 304 1 Mark Jew 305 305 1 Mark Jew 306 306 1 Mark Jew 307 307 1 Mark Jew 308 308 1 Mark Jew 309 309 1 Mark Jew 310 310 1 Mark Jew 311 311 1 Mark Jew 312 312 1 Mark Jew 313 313 1 Mark Jew 314 314 1 Mark Jew 315 315 1 Mark Jew 316 316 1 Mark Jew 317 317 1 Mark Jew 318 318 1 Mark Jew 319 319 1 Mark Jew 320 320 1 Mark Jew 321 321 1 Mark Jew 322 322 1 Mark Jew 323 323 N/A 324 324 1 Mark Jew 325 325 1 Mark Jew 326 326 1 Mark Jew 327 327 1 Mark Jew 328 328 1 Mark Jew 329 329 1 Mark Jew 330 330 1 Mark Jew 331 331 1 Mark Jew 332 332 1 Mark Jew 333 333 1 Mark Jew 334 334 1 Mark Jew 335 335 1 Mark Jew 336 336 1 Mark Jew 337 337 1 Mark Jew 338 338 1 Mark Jew 339 339 1 Mark Jew 340 340 1 Mark Jew 341 341 1 Mark Jew 342 342 1 Mark Jew 343 343 1 Mark Jew 344 344 1 Mark Jew 345 345 1 Mark Jew 346 346 1 Mark Jew 347 347 1 Mark Jew 348 348 1 Mark Jew 349 349 1 Mark Jew 237 237 Are the blank spaces ones that you don't have because they don't exist (N/A)?

The inserts didn't make it into every issue of a particular title, and sometimes an entire month or few months of all titles from a publisher. Either they wouldn't fit(like double-sized issues which left the centerfolds with little room for an insert), weren't planned for that timeframe(this occurred often in the early days of the inserts), or the issue was too close to the deadline for publication and they simply didn't have enough time to put the inserts in(this is probably true for most of the later issues of ASM like 293, 295, 298, 323). comic_memories, Get Marwood & I and Cpt Kirk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Efrew Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 On 3/11/2023 at 11:36 AM, trademarkcomics said: 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 This is amazing research! How do you go about finding out what the highest graded MJI is and how many there are? Didn’t know this was possible? I have a ASM 129 in CGC9.2. Always wondered if there were any higher graded ones… trademarkcomics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've compiled sales records for the past 20 or so years, so since CGC doesn't track MJIs, sites like theirs are the only way to find out if something exists. It doesn't mean there aren't higher grade MJIs out there, they've just not been logged by them. And according to their records there are no MJI copies logged higher than a 9.2, so you may well have the highest graded copy, but not the only one. There are at least two 9.2s out there. If you paid about 2300 for yours in 2019*, then yours is one of the two that sold that year. If not, then there are at least 3 9.2 MJIs out there. *Creepy, huh?

On GPAanalysis, is there a flag for MJI so it’s easy to find? Or do you need to go through the detail?!
