Nice book!

I assumed because of the rust on the bottom half of the top staple. 

Rust shouldn't be the reason it's a green label book.  This might be a mislabel.

I agree it shouldn't be green on face of it. I was a bit hesitant as I'm not as knowledgeable. In my understanding if it is a "fake" double cover it will get green? Then there was the rumor that greens wouldn't be defined on the label for the green? I thought for sure they'd still be in the graders Notes, is that correct ? @CGC Mike

It's all confusing but I wait to hear. With nothing in the notes, it doesn't Warrant a green label imo

I agree, and initially when he took a picture of the staple I thought it had popped or detached, and thought maybe that's why it was green. Still I think you're correct on it being mislabeld, because surly a popped staple or any other such would and should be noted.... at least in the notes  :)

Here’s my second double cover not a high grade copy but the covers a favourite I’m thinking about sending it in for the Roy Thomas grading even so I’ll only probably get a lower grade what do you think worth doing anyway or not

When you're lucky enough to get a double cover, the last thing I would ever do is get it signed.

Signing is great for photo covers and I don't mind it on non-key books, but on a nice, key issue or anything rare, it lowers the value, IMHO (and others).

The rare thing is cool because it is the rare thing. It's not better because anyone wrote on it.

A few recent pick ups...

This one is a classic to me! Original Cap vs 50s Cap! "Two Into One Won't Go!"

My first Spidey Super Stories double, I also have a Spectacular, all I need is Marvel Team Up.

This one always reminds me of "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way"!

My 30th ASM double!

That Spidey Stories is incredible because it is already a very rare early direct variant. I always look for those diamond spidey stories but to find one in that shape and with a double cover! (worship)

@stynxno  This is a label error and can be sent back to us to be fixed. It has already been changed in the system.  Just complete a submission form by selecting the mechanical error option.  A prepaid shipping label will automatically be sent to you through our website. (not by e-mail)  Be sure to write "should be a blue label".  Also, write ME in multiple spots on the outside of the box.

This is the closest I've come, needs a press as well. Back in 2017-18 when I bought it there was a 9.4 double cover for a little over $500. If I hadn't picked this up I estimate I could have afforded it before the price did inevitably go up for it on eBay. I'm still glad to have got something though :)

Cost was something like $150 and for the time was way over priced lol

Buuuuuut "double cover!  :banana:

Man lol

I was curious so I looked up in my past sales, I actually paid $250 for this lol

:roflmao:

I wouldn't get that much more for it now haha, but I have other double covers that were relatively cheap so c'est la vie.  :)
