Moondog Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hey, Double-Cover guys: What SA Marvel Keys are known to have double covers? Specifically, AF 15, Spidey 1, FF 1, X-Men 1, Avengers 1, and Hulk 1? If this has already been discussed I apologize and would appreciate a link. Thanks! --Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggy Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 A X-men 1 was graded 9.2 with a double cover but the outer cover was removed and subsequently regraded as a 9.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be a really sweet double cover. I'd like to know what it looks like. No have no ideal wish I did, it was back before I really started collecting Double Cover comics it came up for sale on ebay probably 6 years ago and I saved & watched the auction because I was curious as to what it would sale for, well it sold for 4k and just a few weeks later it was back up on ebay for sale again this time though it was cracked out of it's CGC case as the buyer either took it out and returned it or he wanted the owner to take it out for better pictures and then did not buy it, my memory is not all that great on how it went down. I pretty sure it sold the second time for 3 to 3.5k but I have no info now, as my computer hard drive got fried by a power serge not long after that and I lost the pictures I had of it and the auction info I really wish I had printed them off. I would have loved to have had that book but I really could not afford it back then and I sure can't now but it would be cool to know who has it and I can only hope someone did not do to it what greggy said happened to that X-Men #1 that sucks. :cool:Their was another Cool Silver Age Double Cover up a few years back that I almost bought it was a Strange Tales #97 the one with Aunt May and Uncle Ben but I let that one get away too.

So is it safe to say that a SA key in mid-grade with the interior cover just a bit better than the outer cover, would not bring a premium? Or only a small one? $4,000 for a 5.5 is right at Overstreet at today's prices (6 years ago it would be considered double guide or so). I sold 2 Marvel monster reprint books at Chicago this past weekend for $70 and $80 each. This is approximately 20 to 30 times guide. I understand that expensive items can't generate those types of multipliers, but I was surprised to read that there was not much interest in the AF 15 above double Overstreet. Obviously I'm asking these questions because a friend just showed me his X-Men 1 with a double cover (both attached). It's a VG outside and FINE - inside. He's considering selling and I told him I'd try to find out what he could expect. Thanks for the input. It's truly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleCovaBrotha Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 In my experience....it depends. For books that are highly sought after, you may be able to expect larger premiums. Batman/Detective Comics and Spider-Mans usually fetch pretty high premiums. However, I've noticed that books that normally command a large dollar amount do not command a very large premium percentage-wise. For example, that ASM 280 that Terry recently purchased (a lower grade, non-key) for $74.00 is probably 25-50 times what a normal one would have sold for on eBay. However, a book like the CGC 9.8 ASM 238, which features the first appearance of Hobgoblin is not finding any bidders at only $829 on eBay. This book routinely sells for over $500 normally. This is a premium of less than 2x! Imagine a 25x multiple on a $500 book! Paying $12500 for a double cover ASM #238 is pure insanity! As for your friend, you can probably expect a nice premium for a double cover X-Men #1, just not a 25x premium! If he can get 3x GPA, he should consider himself lucky.
