That's a prestige format book too...crazy. Not sure who Image uses for their printing, but I have to wonder how that could even occur. When squarebound books were doubled up in the 70s and 80s the outer cover didn't get glued on(makes one wonder how many of these loose extra covers were lost or simply thrown away...)

OtherEric Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I think my most recent double cover is from 2010. But I've only got a couple total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trademarkcomics Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 They're at it again... "Octuple" cover! Note that this cover is crumpled at the bottom...somehow it got the damage while the two covers above and below it remained pristine. Just look at the edge how it feathers...how are people still falling for this spoon? The fake sextuple cover sold for over $400. Hilariously obvious. Someone please stop this guy...

Popular Post Reivax81 Posted March 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2023 I’m fairly new to comics and haven’t stumbled across this interesting variation of book. I have to wonder if I have any more. Are these worth investing a grace into at all? Or is it more of just an interesting/fun find?

Appears to be a "double Cover", which @trademarkcomics may be able to further verify? I'm not as much an expert, or I know my limitations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you compare on analytic sites like GPA, double covers are often way more rare than CGC 9.8s in any specific issue. But, aesthetics still rule the roost over rarity. Nevertheless, I'd take a double cover in CGC 9.4-9.6 over a regular 9.8 any day and twice on Sunday. So to me they are more investment than fun, but I know I have a lot of fun hunting for them!

Reivax81 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Ah, ok. I can see that if there’s value to these people may attempt to counterfeit some. I’d wager this is legit, as it came from my dad’s collection, he probably bought it new. He didn’t buy many comics after the 80s. its definitely clinging pretty desperately to the bottom staple. Particularly at the front. But it’s still hanging on. Off Panel and trademarkcomics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the uninitiated who are getting taken by these bums who find multiple copies in dollar bins then create their own, but they'll get theirs eventually(If I have anything to say about it).

trademarkcomics Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Sure hope one of my friends on here got that VG ASM 149 double that sold on MCS for only $95. I hate that I missed out on that, but it would help to know someone who loves doubles got it and not some money grubbing dealer*... *Like me. icp004 and ADAMANTIUM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like their payment didn't go through because it got reposted. And of course, I didn't miss out this time.
