No time like the present! Offering up these examples of INSERTS that appeared all over military bases and were served up as a service to enlisted personnel at shops and in their general stores for sale! A mouthful that served the industry well, but the military getting their issues containing inserts was essentially the goal. By way of a "comfort" in order to price, order, and to send back home gifts of jewelry for a special someone! If that isn't enough, CGC will notate those "editions!" Here again are the samples in Amazing Spider-man, mainly accumulated with some LCS and Comic-Con finds! Thems the breaks when looking for suitable copies, it can be like chasing the wind, and to be honest, I'm glad for what I've found as the appearances of the Punisher specifically were some of the first "goals" that I put in place when getting back into collecting! Hoorah!
There are many comic series that can contain inserts. Be it inserts such as: pizzazz, National Diamond, or even this sets mostly Mark Jewelers. These are the particular issues within the era of the Amazing Spider-man title that it is possible to have some inserts included. These contain an extra fold within the comic, that is then stapled within, and of an otherwise normal issue. These sets are seen as focused and zoomed in on what would have been available to be obtained at military bases. We have a few here to represent that era of accommodations, and it can show, that of a time and place, anyone can find a niche. Those scores and thrills of the hunt, that in times past, only made us grateful for what we had found. As CGC goes, slabbing and notations can then make a statement of those small victories and with some humble beginnings, as not all grades can be considered "worthy!" By most niche's forte, there is a cost to account for, but they all probably get sent in any way! It is often better this way that we let our hearts be glad, rather than these find the way into a trash bin. They represent some established ways that are perhaps niche per se, but as a definite alternate distribution such as an Army base, it can still be considered honorable; although, some may brandish the term "rare", which may be a tad cliche!
