ft88 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 This might prove to be a useful but I think it'd be nice to marry coverless books/centerfolds with either cover only or comics missing a centerfold (or more). Post the list of books where you have just the cover or need inner wraps. I think posting coverless copies might get overwhelming though I'm sure folks would love to see lists of high dollar coverless issues out there. I'd be curious to hear how folks view value for something like this. Lets say a person owns a VG cover (sans staple rip) and another person has a pretty nice complete coverless. Market price for a Good is $1000 and putting them together probably warrants a Good. Pretend its an All American 61 (Solomon Grundy) for a visual. There'd be two tough aspects, the first in finding the male and female parts to marry and the second is valuing the two of them. What % would the VG cover be compared to the coverless copy as described above? I'd guess 2/3 to 1/3 cover over coverless. I'd also guess that independently they'd sell for similar amounts at lower dollar value but at higher dollar the cover would garner more and more %. I'm thinking Detective 35 front cover on Heritage as a case in point - though I think it was bought by mistake or some such. I'd guess $100 complete comics and up make it worth the search but you really never know. Early 50s coverless Supermans and Batmans only go for $20 or so and adding a cover really only makes it a $50 book, but why not. BTW here's website that is trying/tried to do the same thing but doesn't get a lot of traffic it appears. Link BTW I have an Archie #1 cover only where I'd love to get a hold of a coverless copy. Too bad Metropolis wants over $2000 for their POS #1 but then again the cover I have is only slightly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark88 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I wholesaled a decent condition (no long tears) back cover only for a Detect #29 to a forumite for $100. Not sure what % of Ostreet good that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerKid Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Since I am a reverend, I'd be glad to officiate any marriages of key GA books with their covers. Cool idea to put the boards to good use to bring these together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoonerism Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Great thread idea! I know I have: Cap 7 missing centerfold Cap 5 missing some internal wraps and a bad-amateur-resto cover. (wraps salvaged for a different copy of the book that had a better cover) And a bunch more. I'll try to post them when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I could use a cover for Superman 8, Hangman 8, Terrytoons 1 and Sure Fire 3a. Centerfolds are needed for Hangman 5, Action 40, Jackpot 9 and Blackhood 9. I have covers for Pep 33 and Marvel Mystery 36. I am also looking for the cover and first wrap of Detective 39. Send me a note if you have anything. I have two boxes of coverless comics and half of them are golden age. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ft88 Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) Thank you to Welborn for coming up with a coverless Batman 9. Here's a consolidated list of full covers only. Again, I haven't listed the coverless as I imagine it'd really be tougher to find a cover to a coverless than vice versa. These are also issue that may only need a centerfold where a coverless would be useful. Looks like catrick 339 either has a cover for Superman 5 or a coverless Superman 5 not sure what he has but a coverless superman 5 would be needed here twice over. These issues a user has the cover Action 116 (snowman cover, hilarious) Action 40, All-American #45 All-Star 16 missing CF Archie 1 Archie 5 missing CF Archie 6 missing CF Batman 28 missing CF Batman 6 8 Blackhawk 20 Blackhood 9.
