| I picked up a small lot on e-Bay, nothing special except a low grade Sub-Mariner #1. In the lot, I also found this. A Newsstand edition of New Mutants #48. Not a key or anything, but when I opened it to inspect it, I found out it has the Jeweler insert, indicating (as far as I know) that it was sold on a military base. The thing is, there isn't even a Jeweler edition listed on Mile High's website. And, I can't find another one in e-Bay. Was the Jeweler insert included with all Newsstand editions of this book? Any insight would be appreciated.    |

| So what's the deal with the jewellery ads on military bases? Were they trying to encourage soldiers to get married? | ||

| Get outta my head, Beyoncé! I find it odd this variant isn't listed on Mile High's website. They've never sold one? Too bad it's not a key issue. |

Most didnt survive as depending on the base, comics were just tossed around like magazines. So that one looks like it was loved. Nice find man.  |

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.

| High grade Newsstand Mark Jewelers are extremely rare. | ||

| It's probably Fine. Might qualify as a 7.0, but 6.0 minimum. | ||

| Would this book be worth pressing & slabbing for sale? I notice it was oddly cut along the top at the printer. |

| I can't find this particular book with an insert for comparison. On average, books from this series don't see significant jumps when they have an insert. I'm just wondering if, since I can't find another one of these, if it's particularly rare. |

| Mark Jeweler's inserts are cool but National Diamonds inserts are where it's at those 1970's lingerie pictures are better then a Sears catalog. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slimA key such as Iron Man #55 or an ASM #129 will fetch a 10-15% premium from the few sales I've seen, but a "common" book with insert is probably only of interest to an MJI collector. I wouldn't bother slabbing unless it was for your own collection. As for pressing, what grade do you think you'd bump it to? A 9.2 in OPG is probably only $4-5. |

| I'd figure 9.2 is realistic. You're right, it probably isn't worth it. |
