Just purchased a Sledge Hammer #1 from '88 with a MJ insert. Was pleasantly pleased to find out about the "variants" seeing that I used to tear out the inserts of my books in the past😩😩
Probably the very first of all comic variants was way back in October / November 1939. When Timely Comics' Marvel Comics #1 from October 1939 sold out a second printing was prepared which changed the cover date from October to November. if I remember correctly Overstreet says that there appears to be no pricing difference between the two editions.
I love collecting MJ and Value Stamps. If the comic has a black star stamp on the front, it means it was sold at a Military base.
I have seen blue stars too. Sometimes sloppily stamped. Is this the mark of an actual sale at a mil base? Now that is super cool if this is the case. And I guess the unstamped ones are ones that didn’t sell or maybe sold where they did not stamp them? We need some comic collector veterans to give us insight.
Thanks for the information it helps to actually see what the ad is and where it is in the comic. Once again you come through with great information for the novice and pro collectors alike. You rock comictom, keep up the great work.
I stumbled into my first Mark Jeweler a Facebook auction from a friend, who literally thought every copy of DC Presents 26 had that ad in em. Luckily since then I have found a collection with several Mark Jewelers in it & decided I'm only collecting the ASM & Spider-Man books with MJs. Nice video, keep spreading this info!
Yes, yes catching up on previous videos from months ago. Being as I started in Spawn, I had to know all the info about the books that I could. Knowing now that the UPC bar codes on copies were far more rare put me on the hunt. Find books up into the 100's with bar codes makes the hunt for lower numbered spawn that much better.
My favorite variants have always been the Vampirella comic covers
Hey i just got a high mid grade Werewolf by night 32 for an insane price of £4 !!! And just noticed it has a jewlers insert inside 😱😱😱 will this making worth even more??
Awesome video! Loved watching this Tom! Great quality as well!👍
Canadian Newsstand Price Variants are awesome too
Which issues was it placed in? Is there a list?
Hey...Are the Mark Jewelers inserts always at the centrefold?
I have no plans of selling but I wonder how much value the insert adds to my Thor 337 CGC 9.2 I was super excited when I found it and had to have it graded.
I'm always on the hunt for them, they are rare to find in high grades. Most of the ones i find are always mid grade.
I just got a nice Marvel Premiere 23 MJ variant in a pretty high grade.
@@RightTurnClyde congratulations brother, that's a nice score
Thanks Tom!
I just bought a small run of thor and 12 of them where mark jeweler insert comics!
Knowledge is Power. Thanks Tom!
I am in the camp that there is no value loss for me if the jewellers ad isn't in the book. To me it's too unrelated to the book, much more so than the “collectible” poly bags, which people are considering less and less part of a complete book.
I would also be considering maybe where along the production and shipping process that the inserts were placed. Then there is the issue that these inserts weren’t in every book.

I must say I understand what your saying. Personally if the ply bag has been opened the comic is no longer in mint condition. That argument is still going on 25 yrs later. Example: Death of Superman black ply bag with black arm band in the bag. There is a difference in price between open and unopened. It really just depends on the collector as to what they prefer. Silly isn't it?
Exactly, these aren't Marvel Value Stamps that required butchering the comic.
I got a Conan issue 14 with a national diamond sales ad in side similar to a mark jeweller ad
Thanks for sharing. Didn’t even know about this!
I just got an ASM #306 with the Marks Jeweler insert for $5 bucks. It's not in the best of shape, though.
I absolutely obsessed w these MJ variants. 🤓😎
I bought a collection of about 200 comics from late 70’s to early 80’s and most all of them were mark jewelers variants. One of the books was hulk 271$$$$
Whats up with 35 cent variants i ave recently see on Key Collecting App?
Got one last week on ebay oblivious to the seller and myself! Avengers#267 first app Council of Kangs!
I recently acquired copies of Amazing Spider Man 244, 247, 248, 260, 263, 281, and 282 all with the Mark Jewelers insert, condition seems like ~6/10.
Spent $3.00 each on them. 😁
Edit: my collection needed a second look.
Thoughts on the card inserts during the 90s?
Hey so I was just looking through my comics and i found an asm 343 with a MJ insert but I also found an ASM 343 with a Nintendo archrivals insert and also one with no insert so I guess I’m just asking are the Nintendo internet just as collectible as the mark jewelers
Honestly I don't even know if I have one of these. Mind you this wasn't a major factor at the time I started collecting (I was 6) it would shock me if I had one of these variants.
Daniel Bracken sounds like you were collecting at a really good time then 👀
So this is a first appearance of a variant ? Or cameo ?
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THROW AWAY COMICS SUCH AS PETER WHEAT OR SPIRIT OR FREE GIVEAWAYS BEST ALL TIME THUNDER 1 WHICH BECOMES WHIZ OF CAPTAIN MARVEL.
Make a video about the marvel .30 and .35¢ price variants.
Pretty neat!
Sweet I have a amazing Spider-Man 194 with it
Got a Hulk 180 Mark Jeweler
Just found team up 141 Mark Jewelers variant
I found an amazing spiderman 101(1st morbius) like a year ago w/ the markmans ad
Good info but ....why does it seem like you had an entire pot of coffee
For me If an Add is Removed the Book is Incomplete as Well.. Great Topic.!! Awesome Channel.!! Im Subbed.!!
Without the MJ insert, the book becomes a non-variant version...unless the staples mess up the binding.
Grabbed a Marvel Premiere 47 off (eek)eBay ... ended up being a Mark Jeweler Variant
This has nothing to do with the story or art, so it's pointless
How is does an advertisement make a variant? The comics from the 70's had page's with x-ray glasses and other types of item's that could be bought but you had to cut out the order form and mail it in. Yes, without the advertisement the book is incomplete but a variant? That's just wishful thinking.
Do you have any books with these advertisements in your books??? I live in SoCal, and I dont. Maybe I was too young, but not really.
