Rare issue(s) with Multiple Covers-Which ones do you own?

[OveraboundingMint]

 

In the past as late as the 80s, there are sometimes due to a quirk of fate, printing machines printed some issues with defects and others with two or more pages.

 

It would be good to share here some of these special 'rarities' among fans for the sake of comics appreciation and collection.

This is a cool idea for a topic.

 

I had a Spider-Man 298 with a double cover, I bought it fresh off the stands.

I mean, I never really thought about it, but I wonder what a value on that would be, in say, CGC9.4 or 9.6 ? Anyone have any notion of VALUE on that ?

 

I wish I had a picture to share.

 

Anyway, it will be cool to see if anybody posts some pictures of some RARE double covers.

Nice books greggy. Here is another one of mine that is Bronze Age.

 

[Hiro]

Not Bronze, but have a Silver Surfer 4 - first series. It's a square bound - no staples and the top

cover wasn't glued on just the bottom, so top cover is a loose cover.

Classic Surfer vs. Thor cover and is a cool thing to have! Keep meaning to

frame the loose cover, but still haven't got to it yet! Don't have a pic right

now. Could post one later if anyone wants to see it.

It's amazing how often double covers get missed. I bought both of these raw and didn't realize they were double covers until weeks later. Apparently neither did the sellers.

very difficult 30 cent variant to begin with, then add that this book is a double cover (and my only double cover 30 cent variant)-

I'm not that surprised. Store owners put their books on racks to sell. After awhile, they removed them. In my case, every few weeks I'd have a long box or two of leftovers that I'd put in bags and move into the back issue section. Why would I check hundreds of books for the occasional double cover? Now those books are 25 years old, and I'm still not going to spend hours opening the bags to check.

In fact, I had a kid find one by accident and then he started opening every book on the shelves looking for more, until I had to tell him he couldn't.

And think of the value when these are rare variant or British pence issues and in NM state

[Stronguy]

I had a 9.8/9.6 copy of Amazing Spider-Man 238. Sold it a few years ago.

 

The best double cover I've seen in person is the 9.2/8.0 X-Men 1.

 

[Bunky Brian]

Have a ASM 50 double cover 7.0 / 9.6 currently in NYCC hopefully signed by Stan and Jazzy John,

 

 

[OveraboundingMint]

I have a triple covered Conan 151 and a few other double covered DC ones that i can't remember. Wish i have one triple or double each for all my favourite keys in NM/M.

[OveraboundingMint]

Anyone has bronze keys of such description?

[PeterPark]

[lscomics]

I've had several double covers over the years. The most key was probably Batman #232. This is the only one I currently have, I think it's safe to say you'll probably never see another one.

I'm still looking for a single cover of this issue.
