Popular Post Cpt Kirk Posted April 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2019 I've seen many double covers, but never a double "Mark Jewelers" insert. Here's one I received today. It is Superman 310. This is the first double insert after having seen more than 1,000 jeweler inserts. In my mind, this really doesn't add value to the comic book, but it is kind of interesting to me.

onlyweaknesskryptonite Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Neat find. I always enjoy seeing oddball errors. Thank you for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divad Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Is that the lightweight insert or the heavy-duty stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this comic book was created with built-in backing boards. p.s. It is hard to find MJs in high grade. But I've managed to do it. In the titles of Batman, Superman, Detective, Action and JLA, I have found approximately 640 jeweler variants. Of those, all are in FN or better with the exception of about 15 of them. The pursuit of high grade has caused me to accumulate several doubles. I have no serious interest in selling the spares, but would trade with someone else who collects jeweler variants in these titles. If anyone has any of them in their collection, I would love to hear about it. i keep a database and would gladly share notes with fellow collectors.

Get Marwood & I Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Lovely find Double inserts are very rare and I only ever found one - this NDS copy of ASM #96 that I used to own: Lord only knows why I didn't take a picture of the double interior wormboy and Cpt Kirk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm down to about 50 MJs that I think could exist but I have not found. When you have about 95% of them, and they only occur in about 1 in 200 copies of any particular issues, it gets harder than the dickens to find ones I don't have. I have asked sellers on ebay, and found about 2 sellers out of 500 that had some in stock. Not a good use of my time, but what the heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall that pain, and that was just trying to complete the ASM set!
