What are the Mark Jeweler's worth??

[Aces]

They were both in my pile to send into CGC next week.

You'll have to wait 2-3 months or however long they take to come back.

 

They will definitly be sold once slabbed.

Keep me posted.....

Has anyone heard of "Tiger Electronics" insert? I have one from Uncanny X-Men #271.

[TomG]

Anyone up for making a complete list of all the MJ issues? We have a solid start based on several threads here on the boards.

Why not?

 

Anyone know what year the 1st MJ insert came out?

I think they would only make them worth more to 1) MJ insert collectors and 2) only if they did what they were purported to , and that is, provide backing board like support and preserve the spine from the inside, fending off all types of spine creasing damage...resulting in a better than average condition book.

You mean this......?

 

Yep, that's the one. So have we figured out what that star represents?

[Dave_Hennen]

The blue star is a mark for the PX:

 

I have an X-Men 197 MJ with that same mark near Doom's shoulder. Maybe they were originally sold at the same PX

 

They must have been distributing those for quite some time to go from a 25 center to a 65 center.

I known that Darth has a good collection of these and the earliest date in his books might point us in the right direction. The Mark Jeweler's are also on a card stock and also a paper stock insert.

Well I can quickly (a week or so) give a good rundown on most of the mid 80s to early 90s Marvel comics. I can even go back to the 70s given more time (but won't be as comprehensive).....

I have MJ inserts for DD in the #127-135 range.

I have MJ inserts for DD in the #127-135 range.

 

You got the DD 131?

[Mushroom]

I have #131 but not the second appearance. It probably grades as a fine.

I happen to have one of these "Mark Jewelers Books" up on E-bay right now !

 

It's Astonishing Tales #25, 1st Deathlok appearance, and first George Perez art...

 

Here's a link for interested parties:

 

Mark Jewelers Astonishing Tales #25

 

Why don't one of you cash-weilding maniacs go over there and bid on it?

 

Oh, and don't forget, there are more Snipers on this forum than there were in the Church bell-towers of Nazi-held Europe. If you really want the thing, better make a "buyer's bid".

[Dave_Hennen]

I was curious so I did a little digging. I found copies of X-Men 208 and 209 with the MJ insert. Those are 75 cent cover prices from 1986

I currently have 2 MJ inserts on Ebay right now. I don't see the star marker on any of part of the book.

 

X-men #97, CGC 8.5 White Pages with MJ Insert

 

X-men #94, CGC 6.5 OWWP with MJ Insert

i just picked up 3 issues of ghosts from 1980 over the weekend, all had the star stamp & the insert. Thanks to this thread i was tipped off instantly when i saw the star stamp! 2 were glossy paper, 1 cardstock. Thanks everybody!

[TomG]

The star stamp is not on ever issue that was purchased at Military bases. A collection of Mark Jeweler issues that I owned did not have the stamp on any of the books. This may have been a case of someone not feeling like taking the time to stamp comic books.

[Proverbs22_2]

That's a possibility. My astonishing Tales #25 doesn't have the mark either...
