| I've never looked into MJ inserts, how much do they increase book values? I got an Iron Man #125 (1979) thats a MJ insert with verified sigs by Bob Layton, David Michelline and John Romita Jr. cbcs 7.0. What's the estimated value on this guy? |

I looked on GPAnalysis and they don't have any Mark Jewelers listed for #125.  I did find one on issue #122  Prices on keys can be crazy! When I can't find a price on one, I look for a Canadian Price Variant. They're usually slightly higher in value to those. Here is a good 2020 article about MJ's: GoCollect Here's the current listing for Werewolf by Night:  |

| All Mark Jewelers are Newsstands, so condition can be tough! If you live near a military base you are more likely to find them. I live near a large Army base and the local LCS really only deals in new books. I have yet to find any. |

    here’s the x men 96 that I have with one I bought it to fill a hole in my run. Not knowing it was a jewelers insert. I was surprised to find out it was when I opened it up. The other one I have is also an uncanny x men 131 I didn’t take photos of it when I got it. I find it neat comic history one of our young American men a shoulder far away from home on a base had this read it in their down time as entertainment. |

Quote:Originally Posted by starlord I have a very small collection of them that I bought from MCS at basically no premium to the regular price. I like them for the history that they represent. Just wanted some cheapies, wasn't really concerned with condition. From my small amount of experience, I do think that the "premium" goes up exponentially with condition and with market demand for the non-MJ version. A book in low demand and mid-grade will have virtually no premium as far as value added from the MJ insert. A book in high demand and high grade should have significant premium. Also, it seems that all MJ books are also Newsstand covers, from what I can tell. It seems that MJ's are a sliver of the Newsstand print run, which itself was often a sliver of the overall (Modern) print run. |

| I’ve found a few and it makes the hunt a lil more fun when you find one. I’ve wondered what the percentage of intact copies would be vs copies with the inserts ripped out for purchases. | ||

| Any quick way to determine if there is an MJ insert? Can you tell from looking at the top of a book through the bag? | ||

| Sometimes you can tell by looking at the top. It's not always visible. I think I read somewhere the later books are real hard to see from the top. You can sometimes tell by looking at the page edge on the right side. | ||

 I'm sure whatever it was you got me was perfect.

Quote:Originally Posted by Sagii I was just admiring that cover on MCS a few minutes ago. I have a mid-grade copy of it, but not Mark Jeweler. I put together a mostly-complete run of mid-grade Weird War Tales over the past year...a couple of Mark Jewelers in the mix. The coloring makes that one of my favorite covers. |

| I LOVE MGI'S! I also love any other inserts, but..... I would usually only buy them in 9.2 or better unless a key issue or pretty rare. IMHO BTW and how I collect, or I can pay a very low price. |
