| I bought this book about six months ago, it cost me about 20 dollars. I only bought it because I thought it was cool, it was already graded and it was 20 dollars! I just posted it on the "comic book day of the year" thread. I wanted to see what year this book was from so I enlarged the image, that's when I realized that the book has a double cover! I only have one other book with a double cover. What an awesome surprise! That made me wonder if anyone else had a similar experience. Does anyone else have examples of a pleasant or unexpected surprise that you discovered after purchase?  |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| The first book I submitted to CBCS was a raw Swamp Thing # 1 that I bought from ebay. There was a signature inside the book. I had to post a picture on the CGC forum with an inquiry to find out that it was signed by Bernie Wrightson. CBCS got their first submission from me so I could have the signature verified. I think Comic Connect sold it for me. |

| @drchaos-That's an awesome story. I know you're quite the seller and you probably see most artists signatures often, but I would have been hard pressed to sell a Bernie signed book. | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| a magazine that I bought as a 9.2 from Metropolis actually graded as a 9.4 must've been an oversight |

| Great find! I’ve discovered quite a few double cover books over the years. They are always a cool find! I have seen some books posted on this forum that were bound with more than 2 covers, which is something I have never seen in the wild. I have also scored numerous surprise signatures from comics in the 50 cent and dollar boxes including John Byrne, Dick Giordano and Paul Smith. Always adds a little spice to the treasure hunt that is discount box digging! | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by sportshort Very cool double cover!! I actually have a good news example as well....I bought a New Gods #1 raw that came with an undisclosed Jack Kirby signature that passed verification. |

Quote:Originally Posted by sportshort I got to meet him at Baltimore Comic Con once. I always thought Batman the Cult was really cool even the book never really took off. I believe I got both Bernie and Starlin to sign a whole set. I think all of my books signed by Bernie are long gone now. The only signature series Swamp Thing I have left was signed by David Michelinie:  |
