Newbie here. I have a comic with three covers on it, X-MEN #129. Other than the obvious production error of having three covers it's in excellent condition, I never read it. Actually, I bought three of this issue because along with the 3 cover comic there was a 2 cover comic(which was stolen)and I bought a reader. Is having 3 covers a negative or positive?

I'd say with that particular issue it is a good thing.  Condition is still the biggest factor (for most).

Do you think it would be worth grading?

There's a thread on these Boards where you can share images of the book (https://boards.cgccomics.com/forum/42-hey-buddy-can-you-spare-a-grade/) and others can give you a grade estimate.  I would begin there and see what kind of grade you might expect from CGC.  If it's high grade, it may be worth the cost.  Otherwise, it's a cool novelty item that some might want to have raw so that they can actually open the book and look at the many covers.

Hello everyone! I figured this would be the right place to ask this. If not I do apologize. 

How much will my grade on this book be affected by overspray?

 

Its a little worse on the front.

Welcome to the CGC Boards!

This thread is more about the actual production of the books rather than distribution (I think...).  Overspray on books was a distribution method for quickly identifying shelf books that needed to be returned, or how long they'd been on the shelf.

There's a whole section of the Board that offers grading estimates:

https://boards.cgccomics.com/forum/42-hey-buddy-can-you-spare-a-grade/

...and you'd be able to share some photos of your book and VERY good graders will give you their opinions.
