Been watching for a while now, love the show! I'm sure I am not the first to mention the fact that Comics are great but the daughter/father relationship is priceless!
Agree love them both. So glad there here on RU-vid ❤️ people make a difference in people’s lives and you both do for me being here. Thank you sincerely
I picked up a raw Fantastic Four 149 Mark Jewelers raw about a year ago for $65. I sent it off to be graded at CGC, and it came back a 9.8. The only knock is it has OW/W pages. It looks good with my FF 152 & FF 153 CGC 9.0 MJ slabs.
Being from Canada I can honestly say that I have never seen a Mark Jewellers - ever. Heard tons about them but they were not a thing up here in the Great White North (Geddy Lee reference for all those that care) due to the general lack of US service personal. Keep up the excellent work.
i never realized until the last few years that so many other folks collect double covers,..! i bought a double cover pre code crime crime must pay the penalty by ace that has bank robbers w/the clownface halloween masks,......i try to buy any vintage double covers if affordable,...good point
Imagine my surprise when I got a Bronze Age Phantom Stranger Mark Jewelers from a bigggg online dealer only to be surprised with an unlabeled Double Cover!
Yes, collectors are sleeping on double covers. I regret those that ive sold. I still have highgrade double covers of JLA #107, Midnight Tales #1, Rowlf #1.
I have a Conan 241 mark jeweler and I had no idea for 2 years one spine tick probably 9.6. My dad was in the military so I don’t think I would ever sell it
My buddy Chris found a dbl digit Batman dbl cover,even had a Joker cover. Mark jewelers are easy, look at the top by the spine, there's a colored spot!!
Great show guys ❤ I hunt for mark jewellers and double covers . Misprints recalled etc how about a show on tatooz from all same month and year 84 I think maybe wrong but really cool when you find em keep em coming ❤
Love the fact that you guys aren’t the broken records most of the others are.. love that you bring out books that others won’t take the time too. Love it when you bring out something cool that I’ve never seen before
@@futurepastvintagecollectables Last year I was shocked to learn how much some ASMs were going for. After the crash of the 90s, I didn't think my collection was going to be worth much. All the crap late 90s artwork really turned me off. I've started to invest in protecting my collection. I've even sent a few of my favorites CGC for signatures and grading. Looking forward to a McFarlane signing. Reexamining my collection has brought me back to buying comics. I'm finding the artwork fantastic with some good writing.
I was a military brat in Germany in the late 70s to mid 80s. I bought my comics at the base book store, the Stars and Stripes. I don't remember the PX/BX selling comics. The star stamp you are talking about was put there by the clerk when you purchased the book. As a kid, I hated the inserts. As an adult, not so much.
I know I tried to remove MJ adds a couple of times in the early 90’s but it was too hard to not damage the book with a butter knife and pliers. True story. I still got some MJ’s but I’m not going through 2,000 old books to look. I’ll let my heirs have all the fun!
Thanks for this information! Last year, I found 2 MJ copies of Star Wars 107 (last 80’s issue so minor key) and had no clue how to value them (1 is even a CGC slab that says Mark Jewelers on label). Other book is at CGC now with a special request to add same note (hope they honor the request). You have given me a rough ballpark number (couldn’t find any sales data). Much appreciated!
I pressed a copy of Miracle Man #23 and was horrified to learn that you have to do lick'n'stick comics differently. My page stuck, but after a month or so it just unstuck itself
Ive also had low grade skin mags woth mj ads on the back cover. Where else did they advertise. Are there archies out there with mj inserts. If i were mj thats where i would have spent my money. Ive owned over 100k comics probably less than 10 with double covers.
Very true. Regional price variants are pretty tough too. I didn’t mention that in this particular video, but they seem to be non-existent in collections I pick up.
@@futurepastvintagecollectables yeah. You would have to get the collection probably from the region they were distributed in. I did find the Firestorm book with the Superman test logo in a dollar bin at a show.
I recently acquired a high-grade stack of raw Mark Jewelers DC Ghosts. They are from later in the run, so probably not the most sought after issues. I have been holding off on having them graded because of the recent scandal, but many/most are NM+ and better. Since you are also a fan of BA DC Horror, I was wondering if you have come across any BA DC Horror MJ in the many collections you acquire?
I got some araks that were mark jewelers. In light of recent events if i sell them for the 5 they go for what are the odds that insert ends up in a spiderman 300?
