FCBD - Valiant Universe #1 Cover problem

Post by Intrepidxc »

Did anyone else get a copy of Valiant Universe #1 with 2 covers? My copy has a 2nd cover inside the first cover. It's kind of interesting.

Greg, does that mean your copy only has one cover? I'm trying to figure out if this is an error that is common or not.

Yep, it's an error.

Most comics are vulnerable to a double-cover (or more) error somewhere in the print run as a result of the production process.

My copy is normal, and it might be too early to know if this is a common problem for the Valiant Universe #1, but I would guess it's not going to be common.

Thanks. I would be awesome to know if I had a rare error. I get that it wouldn't be worth any $, but just owning a rare error would be cool. I really want an XO 15 Kotaki error, but the prices for those are just too much.

:P I keep telling myself that there's always going to be something I'd love to have but it's just too expensive to fit into my budget or I can't justify paying the cost of the item. That takes the sting out of it..... Sometimes.

There are collectors (maybe not many, but they exist) that collect double-cover copies. If you're not particularly attached to owning that, you could throw it up on eBay and probably find some takers. I imagine such collectors would have saved searches for new items listed with "double cover"
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

I'm not particularly attached to the double cover copy. I do want to keep a copy. I'd have no idea how to price this book anyway. I'm hoping to see if many more people have a double cover before deciding what to do.

Elery, does that mean I have to dig through all my 200 or so I put aside for VF members who ordered 10 packs? It's not enough that I screwed up and listed the addresses in the opposite order on one of the store editions? :)

I shoud say too, that in 25+ years of collecting I think I only ever picked up 2 comics with double covers (at least, that I realized), both in the late '80s; Avengers 294 and Detective 604.

Omg BBQ. No don't do that. :)

I was only mentioning that these are not rare. Just my opinion and no one else's.

Didn't actually realize this until I got home.

I actually though you purposely switched the addresses locations on the books.

There are collectors of double covers, however, they are collectors primarily because they get something cool (double cover) for very cheap (about cover price).

There aren't collectors who pay "big money" for double covers unless the book itself is already worth "big money".

If you want a couple bucks... sure, someone will pay it.

If you think you have a treasure... well, you might... IF you find a buyer willing to pay enough.

If not, then you just have something cool that isn't worth much... but there ARE collectors for that combo.

Double Bloodshot Platinum?

Double Unity 1 with one being a golden ticket?

I'd love a double cover Valiant anything! Very cool find.

I do have a Harbinger #1 double coupon. Only thing is, someone cut the coupon out of one of them, so it's really like a Harbinger #1 1 and 1/2 coupon!
