Just back from CGC. I noticed they don’t state ‘Double Cover’ in bold anywhere now. They used to state it both on the front center label and on top of the slab (where it now reads ‘Newsstand’ on the MTU 100). Now it looks like the fine print is the only way to identify them.

Yea I really don't like that, they could go back to putting Double Cover on the Right side of the label or at the very least put it on the top of the slab so it matches all my other Double Cover Slabs.  

Has anyone ever seen a 3 Pac with this comic in it? I think maybe it came with Avengers #166 & Thor #266 but that is just a guess.  

Sell more Comics and add a few more ASM Double Covers to the collection.

Round 2 of guess the Comic cover that was attached to this miswraped one by a tiny edge strip on the back cover Game.  

 

 

 

The Miswrap Game Round 3

Well no one guessed the last one which comic was attached to the Marvel Premiere #15 back cover and I did not ever figure it out myself so I guess that it was either just too hard, or no one cared to play. I am going to tell myself it was just too hard and if anyone cares I will post up another Comic Book and see if anyone can guess this one, I don't know what it is yet but I will also be looking for the answer.

I also had a subscription to ASM, beginning with issue #169.  I remember the ads in the comics for subscriptions said "all titles mailed flat".  I was 10 years old at the time so never really understood what that meant until years later.  So I think I just missed the folded subscriptions.  Still have all mine to this day.  Most I read once and put away, so for the most part they are in nice condition.  There are a few that had some mail damage...

That is Cool my first Subscription copy of ASM was #166 and I was also 10 at the time and it came flat in a brown paper sleeve so I missed the folded Sub copies also.  Does anyone on here know when Marvel switched from folded to flat Subscription copies?  

 I seen those and I am guessing that maybe you are the one who bought the CGC 9.8 #257 that was just on ebay?  I do have multiples of both #257 & 361 but I don't have the 2nd print one so that would be something I would trade for if you are open to trades.  

Not really sure, I have been collecting them for like 22 years, I know I have 3 Long Boxes full and a bunch of Slabs so yea hundreds is a good guess.  ASM Double Covers is what I really collect and I am always looking to trade for ones that I don't have.  

The miswrap gives you more of the front cover art.

It would make a good game can you guess this one?  

 

Round 2 of guess the Comic cover that was attached to this miswraped one by a tiny edge strip on the back cover Game.  

Not mine (wish it was) but this one sold on ebay not that long ago and it also has the problem with a chunk out of the top Left edge of the inside cover that extends to the back inner cover, I have seen this problem a lot of Silver Age Marvel Double Covers and would also like to know why.  

I sent a few Silver Age Spidey's in to be graded some years back that had a small piece out of the top of the inner cover which seems to be a common thing (not sure why but must be something to do with the trimming process) and here is how CGC graded them.  

I posted this years ago as I believe this is an actual example of the red ink running out during the printing process.

Hey @cosmic-spider-man, nice to have you over here Terry!  

Hey Reggie, This is my favorite thread on the boards I check it out often.  ASM #151 was the first issue I ever bought and it is so cool to know Ross Andru's Art was based on real places, love the photos of the Incinerator.
