? I have a X-Men #250 with 5 covers on it does anyone else have any with more than two covers on them I would love to hear or see them and I would also like to see more Double covers so keep them comming.

 

I just bought a Giant Size Marvel Superheroes #1 yesterday that has 3 covers. The thing is, the 2 outer covers aren't attached, just floating there. Any idea how CGC deals with this?

 

Thanks.

Back just after the Man Of Steel days DC ran a mail-in contest where they were giving away a bound set of Man of Steel 1-5. Odds of winning were 1:100. A friend of mine won one.

 

Essentially what they did was take the overstock Man Of Steel books and glue a cardstock cover on them -- instant TPB. The #1 (there was a direct and newsstand cover if you recall) was just random. You got one or the other in the #1 slot.

 

Anyway, my friend showd up with his new, unopened Man Of Steel TPB. When we cracked it open we found that not only was the #1 the direct version but it was also a double cover. Too cool! thumbsup2.gif

Thanks for the info! I think I will submit it then. I was worried they may not want to grade it with the 2 loose covers.

 

The only graded double cover I have is World's Finest 199 (Adams Superman vs. Flash). It's 9.0 outer/8.5 inner.

I like books with multiple covers. My copy of DD #21 (with a double cover) is actually in the hand of CGC. I'm hoping a 8.0 (at least) 893crossfingers-thumb.gif the inside cover is very nice...

Posted on the Golden Age board, Double covers are like a protective shield on the interior covers. Always fresh and clean and white. I'll probably be selling this one soon so look for it.

Don't worry, the out cover is probably a F- and I didn't close the lid on the scanner.
