DrWatson Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Of course condition has bearing, but people will want it just because it has a triple cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashrael Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I haven't a clue what these things go for...is it related to the grade on the top cover? Does it go according to Overstreet in some way? If the book is going to go for $1.50, ..I'll just keep it..Walt Disney's are not that hot on Ebay... I have no idea what that blank spot means, either...if that is good, or bad...(where the label would have been. It is really tough to say. Superhero doublecovers go for the most with the more mainstream the issue, the higher the demand and price. I haven't seen many triple covers for sale so I have no clue how much it would go for. (I know that I would bid at least $10 for it ) The blank spot is totally fine and is just a placeholder for the address label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleCovaBrotha Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I just had this conversation with another member about values for multiple covers. To be honest, you can expect an extremely wide standard deviation for the prices of multiple covers. The issue is that there are basically two or three bidders on eBay that are throwing the numbers out of whack. So it comes down to whether or not those individuals want that particular issue. If gijoed and comicwars already have a certain book with 2+ covers, they may not bid at all. He asked me what a certain bronze age issue of FF is worth with a double cover. My answer was basically, if Joe and Tina already have it, then as low as $25. If not, then probably over $100. Percentagewise, we're talking about huge swings in value. For your triple cover I can't see it here from work because they filter out photobucket images, but I'd say that it would go for way over $100 just by virtue of it having 3 covers and my understanding of what the market is for these types of books. I would not be surprised if it goes for over $200 or $300, even without looking at the images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skypinkblu Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Well, that sounds better than $1.50...and since I don't really collect them, I supose I'll do a group one of these days...I must have 5 or 6 double covers as well...I just kept them because I thought they were cool... Thanks:) and I know, no one can predict:) I just wanted a clue:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyGrave comes to mind. Here's a silly hint if you are going to list it on eBay: Include the words "double cover" in your auction listing. Something like, "Not a double cover, but a triple cover", just so it comes up in more search results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At any rate, if you have double cover ASMs, I (probably Terry too) would appreciate getting a first crack at them. Maybe we could even trade for some GA books.

Well, I just called her, ..and asked if they were any closer to a date...and the answer was.."chill Mom...not yet".. So...I can buy some GA books instead, ...I'll be VERY chilled... and I guess I'm not really all that worried, ...it will work out, I'm making excuses to buy more books ever do that...

DoubleCovaBrotha Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Here's a list of what's coming back from CGC. I'll see if I can't throw up some scans when they arrive: Daredevil 179 Double Cover Modern 9.4 WHITE Detective Comics 605 Double Cover Modern 9.2 WHITE Amazing Spider-Man 161 Double Cover Universal 6.0 WHITE Amazing Spider-Man 206 Double Cover Modern 8.5 WHITE Amazing Spider-Man 252 Double Cover Modern 2.5 OFF-WHITE Amazing Spider-Man 253 Double Cover Modern 8.5 WHITE Amazing Spider-Man 270 Double Cover Modern 9.4 WHITE Amazing Spider-Man 293 Double Cover Modern 9.6 WHITE Thor 277 Triple Cover Modern 7.0 OFF-WHITE Thor 350 Double Cover Modern 9.2 WHITE Overall, this was an okay submission. Based on my previous experience in submitting double covers, I was expecting some higher grades. The Daredevil 179, Detective 605, ASM 270, and Thor 350 I expected to be 9.6's. I am much more disappointed by the grades for the ASM 206 and 253. I thought that they would come back at least in the 9.2s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they are, with the PQ downgrade we've seen, and now yours. I think it depends on who gets a hold of them in the grading department. I have sent multiple books in separate shipments and the results seemed to vary with one group getting excellent grades and the other getting okay grades.

DoubleCovaBrotha Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 That ASM 252 must be really beaten up. Can't wait to see the pics. I expected a fairly low grade, although maybe not that low. The book has some water damage and stains. All in all, I probably overpaid for it ($56.91) but I couldn't resist owning a 252 with a double cover though (First ASM with the black costume). The funny thing is that it was advertised on eBay as NM. It also arrived in a typical large brown envelope used for documents, without even a bag or board.

DoubleCovaBrotha Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 She was one of those sellers that you knew didn't sell many comic books. The picture was crappy but you could see that it was definitely nowhere near NM. It was so beat up that I was afraid that it was a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
