Always nice to read about like-minded comics enthusiasts getting into the core of things. Maybe someone can compile a collection of such informative topics into a fanzine, or maybe incorporate it into a regular feature in one of the backissue mags like Alter Ego or Backissue. Keep up the great discussion, guys! Just reading makes me feel as if i'm transported back in time to the swinging 70s! The whole idea of this is so weird...any similar things in any other 35 cent variants?!? The only other one I can think of is the Captain America #212 with the missing banner, the thing is the 35 cent variant has it with and without the banner so the error got fixed even before they could print the whole 35 cent variant run so they cought it pretty quick, and I have never seen a 30 cent one with this error. Another interesting book I discovered is the Amazing Spider-Man #174 if you look at the fat diamond ones you will notice that the P in the tital SPIDER-MAN has no color blue behind it, this error is also present in some of the regular editions so they fixed this error sometime during the regular print run. So this leads me to also believe that the Fat Diamond "Whitman/Direct Market" books were also printed before the regular editions. What do you think?

I think there are 2 triple cover Avengers #87 out there also

Did anyone else notice there are four Double Cover IRON MAN #55 on ebay right now? There is a CGC 7.5 a 8.0 a 9.2 and even a raw one the funny thing is the 9.2 listing says 1 of a Kind Item in the tital. should have done a quick ebay search before he listed it. This has got to be one of the more comon Double Cover comics out there, I know I have seen a few more other than these.

Why do you ask did both yours have Double Covers? and yes I do have one.

Very Cool 3 Double Cover 30 cent price Variants! (thumbs u (thumbs u

No I bought thie ASM #347 on ebay a while back so it is kind of hard to remember how much I paid for it. I actually collect Amazing Spider-Man Comics with Double Covers and I seen this one that said Double Interior on the label and thought I would pick it up as it was kind of cool cover and an Unusual error. I think I have 4 or 5 more comics in my collection with Double Interiors right now and I would be interested in yours if the price was right.

Why would it get a green label? Green Labels are for books that have something missing right?

Does it have two complete sets of pages like this one?

Very Cool finds where did you find them at? I just got back a few hours ago from Wizard World St. Louis and only found one 30 cent ASM Variant.

Here is a interesting error book I just picked up.

(thumbs u Got two Great Comics from James a ASM #40 and Avengers #5 he packs super tight and shipped fast and the comics were sweet also I am very please, Thanks !!!!!!!!

very nice Peter Parker Spectacualr Spider-Man #28 ft88 (thumbs u (thumbs u I just got this one in, it is pretty rough but I am very happy to add it to my collection.

Where and how did you managed to obtain the area distributions charts from, CSM? I made the Charts myself from the distribution marks on the top edges of 35 cent variants that I had or have seen. The Charts are very incomplete and I Have not done anything to update them in many years. I still don't have any concret info on where that 5th test market is and one or two of the other Markets might not be exactaly where I originally thought they were. The only ones I am %100 sure of is Wilmington NC. and Toledo OH. because large original owner collections cam from both those areas. I am still interested in the subject and am always looking for more info just have not found out much in a long time.

A Double Cover 30 Cent Price Variant very Cool find. (thumbs u

I am going to bump the Double Cover thread with my first Triple Cover ASM.

Thanks for the reply Dice, do you know if the way comics were trimed changed any from the 60's to the 70's? Reason I ask is I have seen this problem on a bunch of Silver Age Double Cover books but never on any Bronze Age ones. It just seem strange to me that I have ran across so many that all have that tear in the same place the top Left corner and it always goes around to the back cover.

Hey Dice I have a Double Cover production Flaw question. I have been seeing allot of Double Covers from the Silver Age that have a chunk torn out of the inner cover at the top Left edge that extends around to the back inner cover. I am sure it must be production related since I have seen so many like this, but I am not sure. Do you have any Ideal how or why this could happen?

I am still looking for Amazing Spider-Man Double Covers if anyone has any to sell or trade. I do have Lots of other Double Cover Comics I would consider trading for ASM issues I need. Also I just updated my ASM Double Cover Page check it out, I added a few new books like this one:

Just got 4 great Old comics from Robert today, they were all graded very well and I got them here in the U.S. from Canada in just 3 days. I am very pleased with my order. Would be happy to deal with him again. (thumbs u (thumbs u

Yes! Do you know if it was from North Carolina? If there is no Distribution Ink on the top or bottom edge then it probably came from North Carolina.

Great info canickus and much appreciated. (thumbs u (thumbs u

Very Nice Books canickus, I just happen to have 2 copies of the Giant-Size Spider-Man #3 with Double Covers also may be one of the more comon ones. I think the only Marvel Giants I have are the Spidey #3 & 4 both of which you have so I would be of no help on that collection. I think I may have a few DC 100 pagers with Double covers though.

Hey Charles it's been a while how is it going, added any new ASM Double Covers to your collection lately?

I just got this in.
