I have had so many comics in the last 3 years with double covers, but nothing beats my Dark Horse Buffy # 1 that has an incredible 6 cover !!!!

Love that stuff.

X-O 57 has a double cover? Is this a common occurence, or a printing error?

I don't recall many people on the board talking about double Valiant covers. It's happened a few times of course, but it doesn't seem to be all that common.

There are niche collectors who seek out double covers and other printing error books though. I would pay good money for Draco's Buffy book with multiple covers. :D

My copy of the Ninjak Yearbook is a double cover. The outer cover has a fold and if you unfold it, it has the cut lines for the machine.

I believe there is an Archer & Armstrong #2 like that somewhere...

I have about 5-6 bloodshots 2-10 that are all out of order on pages. I believe one of them (4 maybe?) has the cover and first page, then the cover and the rest of the pages. I'll have to dig them out.

I have several underground comix with double covers, they go for a slight premium. Not too many regular comics with double covers, but one that comes to mind is my Identity Crisis #4 does have two covers.

You might be referring to the one I sold a while back of the double cover with manufacturing error cuts. The book looked like a frankenstein book which I was surprised made it through the QA.

There are people who collect the "oddities". I sold a staple-less Sojourn book for some pretty good $$$.

I now have one and a half short boxes of oddities.
They range from double covers ( probably about three to be honest), comics with one or no staples, miscut covers, miscut whole comics to pages wrong way round upside down etc.

My favourite books are the Buffy with 6 covers, Y the last man # 1 with pages upside down, round way round and the starngest X-Men forever # 1 DF exclusive covers where the whole comic is miscut and the bag is also damaged too, which leads to all kinds of questions about DF and how they bag their goods from printing?

I have never seen a double-cover book in my life.

I'm assuming that rather than being punched and dropping out, it never had the staples in the first place?

My latest 'odditie' is a Midnight Nation where the front cover is printed 'normal' and the back cover (advertisement) is upside down, while my other copy has the corrected 'advertisement cover'. Nuts huh ?

But, I have collected every VALIANT double cover I could get my hands one 'through fate' never bought/traded one.

I do think that the Magnus #57 error copy is pretty cool as well.

I am still waiting to find a copy of Bloodshot #1 and Turok #1 printed without the chromium piece on the cover as well as the 'white Deathmate' (i.e. just missing the foil).

They just look cool.

As I am NOT going to add that to my 'needs list' cause I am at 100% baby but I find myself 'looking, just in case'. So far, I have found two.

Why did that get a qualified grade, when other error issues (like multiple covers) get blue labels?

WHAT ? OMG... and this guy lives in Surprise, Arizona. I should go up there and 'surprise' him by sticking my foot so far down his throat that his poop gets in my shoe... charging that much for a error book. ARRRRGH things like that tick me off. I mean really... would anyone here buy that book for that price ? Is it REALLY worth that much ?
