Comic Book Manufactured with Additional Cover at Centerfold 2 2

[fantasydepot]

I aquired a comic book that has an additional cover attached at the centerfold. In my humble opionion, this comic is similar to a double cover comic, only the inner cover is attached at the centerfold, not directly behind the outer cover. Would this manufacturing error comic be graded like a double cover with both inner and outer covers being given grades and then ultimately the better of the two grades posted as the official grade of the book?

Hello @fantasydepot, thank you for contacting CGC. Do you mind kindly providing photos of the book you are inquiring about, please? We will likely need to double-check with our grading team on how they would proceed with this situation. Thank you in advance!

@fantasydepot Those of us who frequent the CGC forums would appreciate your posting some images of this book(and centerfold) as well I’d believe.  
 

Welcome to the boards!

Here are the pictures of the comic withn an additinal cover at the centerfold.  

Thanks for letting me know if this additional cover will be considered for grading purposes. It is in better shape than the outer cover.

Hello @fantasydepot, thank you for the photos. I have passed these on to my team for review and will reply here again once I receive a response on how this book may be handled. Thank you for your patience in the meantime!

Hello @fantasydepot, I have spoken with my grading team on this, and they said that this particular book would be considered a Manufacturing Error, it would not be considered a double cover. We handle manufacturing errors on a case-by-case basis on how to designate and label them. This is a fairly unique book, so they did mention that they would need the book in-hand to make any official determinations on it if you were planning to send it in for grading. Hopefully this helps!

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
