For example, in the MCS list I linked above, there are "Guardians of the Galaxy" (1990) comics that came with them.

Seems like '91 is the cut off point. Makes sense for the NM98 and the few Jim Lee Uncanny Xmen books I've seen.

This list isn’t entirely reliable. The MJI’s appeared in Marvel titles from 11/72 until as late as 7/91, with DC ending approx. five years earlier. No Giants or squarebound books would have them, but MCS lists all titles from a given month as having an insert if any inserts appeared in other books in that same month. I believe ASM #349 is the final title with an insert, but MCS shows other titles from that month as MJI’s despite no known copies.

Archie’s and Gold Keys will also have them(all ending pre-86).

I have over 150 Mark Jewelers comics that will be auctioned off on MCS. They are still taking pictures and I am not sure when they will be done.

I collect them also. They ran in Gold Key for a few years in the 1970’s and ran til 1986 for DC but Marvel ran until 1992. They were sold on all military bases.

My Special Marvel Edition 15. (Shang-Chi) is a Mark Jewelers. 1973. The weird thing is I didn’t notice the insert when I sent it in, but it is noted on the slab. That book sure appreciated

I know I have (or had) a bunch of these from when I was younger. The military base thing makes a ton of sense. I used to get all of my books from a small comic book store in an Air Base town.

I’d be curious to know which titles with MJI’s you’ve found dated as late as 1992.

Unfortunately I have 1000’s of the MJ inserts and I no longer organize them. I just throw them in one of my MJ boxes. I now just focus on Keys or issues I know I don’t have. Maybe this weekend I will look through a few boxes and see if I can find some.

Thanks. It’d be great to “discover” any new ones.
