DocCRR Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) Is a 'double error cover' of Ultimate FF21 worth anything ? First cover appearance, second overall appearance pf Marvel Zombies. (I think the first appearance is in Ultimate FF20). Thanks ! Edited November 1, 2021 by DocCRR ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First cover appearance, second overall appearance pf Marvel Zombies. (I think the first appearance is in Ultimate FF20). Thanks ! They first appear in UFF 21. Their first cover is above for $3 is a good buy. Marvel Zombies 1 sell much better which confuses me because other Kirkman did it it came out later. For every one UFF 21 I sell I can sell 3 or 4 Marvel Zombies 1. I think its a lack of education on buyer's still currently.

DocCRR Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Not trying to start a debate on first appearances, but there is a reflection of Zombie Reed on the last page of UF20. Does it count in the Marvel Zombies lore ?? I agree that the UF books are a precursor to the Marvel Zombes books, and should have more interest. There was a slight bump in interest of the UF books with the What-if shows, but not much. Maybe it has something to do with UF being the Ultimate U. vs. M. Zombies being in the reg. 616 I do have a double cover error version of UF21 (which I found out when I was looking over Adamantium's post; funny the things you notice if you pay attention !). Any thoughts on whether there is interest/spec on this error version ? ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts on whether there is interest/spec on this error version ? Double covers are great! I have a few, they're fun regardless! I'd have it slabbed for fun, still got to be worth more than the regular. If your wanting pricing, I dont know that it all amounts to too much ,.... yet of course! Still I'd be glad to have it for $20 shipped I'm so broke, but you definitely get the buzz for that find!

The DC test logos make me the happiest most I would say finding the "Superman Comics" test logo books in a dollar bin made no sense whatsoever... except I found this copy in a dollar bin several years ago, as well. (I also have a copy from around when it came out.) I think I finally found the Firestorm for around $10, but that was specifically grabbing it when Half Price Books was doing a half-off sale. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah definitely out of place. Most dealers know about it. He just missed them. Another JL test logo was found at another local dollar sale in my area.

They were also big on slabbing books, anything not high grade was likely to get cheap boxed for a long time. They eventually started individually pricing some books, but it took them ages.

Funny thing is I used to see those Test Logos everywhere. My shop had several copies in the 90s/2000s. Now I never see them. Did some burn them or something?

Not sure where they were distributed, I know they showed up in the Seattle area because a friend got one off the rack. I suspect they were ubiquitous for a while because the idea of variant covers was unusual even into the 90's so everybody wanted them; now that we're used to rare variants these aren't super rare compared to some and the books aren't key for any reason other than the covers. So they don't get pulled out as often at the shows or shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
