  1. Hey, DiceX! Here's another bizarre printer's error to throw at you. This one really has me baffled. I have a copy of Spectacular Spider-Man vol I #1, with the cover from Marvel Team-Up #52. (Not a double-cover, just a wrong cover.) It had me completely fooled for about 10 pages, since they're both Spidey comics and I wasn't paying that much attention to the story. (Eventually the lack of teaming up in MTU made me re-check the fine print on the first page, and sure enough...) So, I guess this leads me to a couple of questions. *1) You've said in this thread that wrong covers are possible, and you explained how. MTU #52 and PPTSSM #1 came out on the same month (Dec 1976 I think), but I would assume they also came out on different weeks (since Spidey comics were usually organized that way). I can't verify this -- I don't know how to figure out what week a comic came out on. But, if they did come out on different weeks, how could this have happened? (ie by the time one comic was being printed, wouldn't they be done with the covers from the other comic?) *2) Is it likely that there are other copies like this, or that there's a twin -- an MTU #52 with a PPTSSM #1 cover? *3) I can't figure out how much this comic is worth, because the inside comic is worth so much more than the cover comic. Any ideas? Thanks a lot...
