Im always looking out for my bday stamp 9/4. I saw this book but didn’t notice the stamp. Keen eye!!! ADAMANTIUM and trademarkcomics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought they would stamp every book in the batch, so they knew when to pull them off the shelves. Still an awesome book, and I love date stamps when they're well placed, which this one is. Well, as some on the Mark Jewelers thread will attest after I brought something to their attention, being in the industry a long time does not mean one knows everything. When I was a kid, I would wait for my local convenience store owner to unpack the books and he would always write "received" and the date on the top book so I would avoid that one. So, due to that experience I always assumed it was a receive date and only the top copy would get it. Now that you have brought this to my attention, I'm left to wonder why he did that. It makes way more sense that it was to keep track so they would know when to send the unsold copies back for credit.

Now they have a duodecuple(12) cover! The title simply says "12 cover". Apparently their "uple" vocabulary doesn't go that high. Shockingly, it's from that overprinted Knightfall/Knight's End run that still fills dollar bins everywhere.

Lol I did think about you when I saw it, priced at $200 when regular 7.0 go for $130 a decent value. I have #400 purchased (not a double cover though) and will almost be the last of my Neal Detective run, unless I get the one with the jouster as well. I've wrapped up the Batman Neal too, so thanks for letting me have this one. A second appearance too, which I do most of the time collect as well even if it's raw for moderns, but especially for ones where I can't afford the first Edited April 5, 2023 by ADAMANTIUM trademarkcomics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post trademarkcomics Posted April 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Ditko #1! Since I don't have any ASM doubles under 78, I was looking for an earlier Ditko issue with no luck so I was about to settle for a Ghost Manor #3 CGC 8.5 on the Bay just to have a Ditko double when I saw that Reece Comics had posted this. No brainer between a Charlton #3 and a DC #1!

trademarkcomics Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Warning: New 0 Feedback double cover dealer: captainamerica5. Could be uniquecomics testing the waters with a new ID. They have 4 up, only doubles. Pictures are not as good so hard to tell if legit or not. But one looks dirty on the inner cover...I'd be wary. icp004 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New one: kingkongwongdong ...lol... Just posted a Superman that looks sketchy. Both this ID and the first I mentioned have zero feedback and are from Columbus, OH. I never looked to see where uniquecomics was from, but dollars to donuts it was Columbus, OH. I can't look at their ads anymore, but when I change the order of their sold items to nearest first, both of these new IDs and uniquecomics are exactly 2,060 miles away from me. icp004 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an Amazing Spidey Annual 10 that is a double. The top cover is loose and not glued(as it states on the Det #440 label). I'm sure many of the squarebound copies that had the extra cover the outer cover was used as a poster or simply discarded. I have a squarebound ASM #200 with a double interior, I'm pretty sure it also had a loose outer cover but it didn't stay with the book.
