| I bought a variant issue of Infinity Countdown #1 this past week, but when I got home I noticed that the cover was bound upside down and there are pages that weren't bound in the book. Is this a mistake that could make it more valuable? Is it worth getting graded? | ||

YES! IT IS SUPER RARE! DON't let HUMIDITY get in to with, flip the pages with a tweezer if you need to read it.. also, I think you can get like $80 for the super duper rare staples that didn't bound the comic..  lol  |

| FYI, if there are pages mossing,it will get a point-five grade. Production error or not. | ||

| This reminds me of an x-factor book I once had that had an extra piece of paper on the top right corner of every page connecting pg. 1 to pg.2, pg. 3 to pg. 4 and so on. | ||

| That type of production goof is frowned upon, but double covers are not. Why is that? I thought i saw somewhere double covers are desirable. |

| Double covers are more desirable. It preserves the inner. | ||

| Ah. Well that kind of makes sense, but it still boils down to production defect, no? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Pre_Coder I own a couple of double covers, but never submitted one for grading until about 5 months ago (make sure you note double cover on your invoice). Got it back last Friday. Both covers get a grade and the book receives the highest grade listed.  |

The strangest misprinted comic I own has a Wolverine cover, but a Ghost Rider story inside. I bought it graded at an auction. |

Quote:Originally Posted by EngineJoe Pretty strange. I got it fairly cheap (in my opinion) at an auction a few years ago because I think no one read the description and just thought it was an 8.5 Wolverine #25. Not sure what it’s worth, but I think it’s pretty unique. The only thing I own that’s close to this is my copy of the Superman vs Ali Treasury-sized comic. That book repeats several wraps at the center. |

| I have 3 double covers books (ASM 148 CGC 9.6 W, Longshot 1, and Powerman 24 1st Bill Foster as Goliath), all 3 discovered after the purchase. I dont think I own any others kind of 'defect' besides bindery. | ||

| In all my years of purchasing comics (since 1966, maybe), I don't think I ever bought a book with a double cover,so, IMO, they must be pretty rare out there. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke Well, the grade label is totally wrong. That isn't a Wolverine comic with Ghost Rider guts; it's a Ghost Rider comic with a Wolverine cover. The guts IS the comic. Or, are the comic. Whatever. Point is, the cover just advertises what's inside. I'm really surprised CBCS made such an error. I wonder if they still do it that way. |

The only error I own (that I'm aware of) is a copy of Witchblade vs The Darkness 1/2 where the centerfold was incredibly off center and miscut, exposing the registration marks and losing nearly a page of the story |
