Lino Diaz Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 If the Mark Jewelers insert is missing the order form part of the add is it considered a green label ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 You peaked my curiosity, after an online search uncovered nothing my "assumption" would be that if the "Tatooz" missing garners a Green Label then one would think that a book missing the MJ insert would also garner a Green Label, however... If the insert is missing is there any indication that it was actually there since not all copies had the insert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the insert is missing is there any indication that it was actually there since not all copies had the insert? There are a few. Many MJI copies have a small star shaped cover stamp. And pulled out staples could indicate removal. Staple location itself is a factor too - some MJI copies are in a different location on the spine: Not sure about incomplete inserts though (insert present but part of it is missing). Logic says Green label, but I don't know what CGC would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revat Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I'd say contact CGC for an official ruling. ANd it may depend on the comic and the insert for reasons mentioned previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Warren Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I'd gladly accept the discount for a green-label book that is only missing the Mark Jewelers insert. The fact that Mark Jewelers editions are going for higher prices is one of the goofiest aspects of the hobby to me. Okay, they're rare. So was my red 1974 Gran Torino with the lime green front end because I got in an accident that crumpled the original front end and had to pick up a new one at a junkyard, and I didn't have the money to repaint it to match the rest of the car. Strangely, no one offered me a million bucks for my red and green 1974 Gran Torino, even though it was the only one in the whole world! ak47po 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you'd have the extra-rare Gran Torino variant. Le Chat Noir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
