| Nice book, @zillon. Like @GAC mentioned, comics with double covers do generally command a premium for collectors that like them (I am one of those collectors). FYI, when comics with double covers are graded, it's the inner cover that is considered, not the outer cover. That's because, in theory, the owner of the book could remove the outer cover and still leave the comic completely intact. If you ever get bored owning this book, I'd be happy to take it off your hands.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by DWeeB1967 While this is most often the case, it isn't an automatic. More accurately, the cover with the better grade is what usually makes it on the label. If for whatever reason the inner cover is lower than the outer, the outer will determine the grade. |

| Good point, @Siggy... very true. It is the cover that is in the best condition that is considered. Generally, that's the inner cover. Thanks for clarifying. | ||

| @zillon congratulations btw. I've discovered 4 in the wild, and love 'em. However, as a result of finding my own at regular price, I doubt I'd pay a premium for one. I wonder if others who have found them feel that way. |

| Bronze age and older books with mult covers should get premiums over normal copies of the same grade. Some sellers do not care and others just donāt know how to price them. Really? They should go thru auction process to get a value. Any book could sell for nothing or for a mint; there really is no way to know. | ||

I submitted a Swamp Thing #30 with a double cover for grading. I had bought the comic new when it was released. Both covers get a grade, and the comic typically receives the higher of the two grades (unless there are interior defects that would bring the grade down - has anyone received a checkmark on a double cover they had graded?). Hereās the book: |

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town Think of the possibilities. I wonder what would be worth more, a GL #1 with 5 covers, or if you removed 3 or 4 of the covers and married them to coverless copies, increasing their value? |

| The best cover grade is not necessarily the grade you will receive. I'm not sure why you guys are neglecting the interior. If you have 2 covers, say 8.0 and 9.0 and have a detached centerfold, it will definitely be lower than the two covers. It's a rare case where the grade is not one of the covers, but it does happen. I've come across a few double covers in my time. Though they were not in any type of grade. One of them was a Tip Top with Peanuts inside,so my wife insisted I keep it. |

| @Philflound - I absolutely did not neglect to discuss the interior of the comic. Perhaps you neglected to read my Swamp Thing post. | ||

| This one is my best double covers, if nothing else, due to being golden age,and the interior cover was rather flawless....published November of 1963, I wasn't even born yet...outer cover was graded a 6.0 Fine at purchase. These old painted covers are themselves frameable artwork ā¦. This cover also drew me in because of the eggs, as I own four dinosaur eggs of my own .  |

| @Philflound The original question was about a comic with double covers. That's why the focus has been on comics with multiple covers. As you said comics should always be graded according to the condition of the entire book. | ||

| No idea on the value. There are collectors who put a premium on double covers and seek them out. I donāt own any. I do hope that whatever decision you make with it is the best for your collection. | ||

| I would beware of buying books raw with more than one cover. Though if the price is below market of what the book would value with the worst cover, then it may not matter. But I've seen many married covers with people trying to scam collectors out of money. ASM 361 comes to mind. Some are legit, some are faked, and there are copies out there with 3-7 covers. Look for signs of wear consistent with both outer cover and interior cover. Also, for vintage books, the interior cover should be tan according to the page quality while the outer cover interior should be close to white, not having touched the pages. Always check staples to make sure they don't look tampered with. Beat up books with double covers shouldn't be something to watch for, but modern high grade books may be. | ||

| Most mult cover books are found at LCS not even marked or āin the wildā at garage sales and similar. I have at least 3 multi cover books, none of the interior covers are tanned like the pages and absolutely no multis that i have seen have the same wear on outer and inner cover(s). Thatās kind of the point... | ||

| Creases and spine dings should show most of the time. Soiling should not. Stains are a toss up. Tears are also a toss up. But there should be some consistency with defects. Unless high grade, very seldom should you see no damage on the interior cover where there are many flaws on the outer. | ||
