I'm actually quite surprised to read some of you, who I assume to have larger collections than my 4600 books, haven't found any in the wild. 3 discoveries out of 4600 was starting to make me think they're not as "rare" as I thought. Most of the ones I posted were found in the wild (not purchased on eBay) but then again I worked at a comic book store, does that count? It's the reprint books I posted mostly, I wouldn't have purchased them if they weren't double covers. The Tigra book I remember being a surprise because it was cheap (I bought it for my John Byrne collection) and I didn't count the pages when I bought it at a different store. Jeffro, you ever go to Buried Under Comics in Manchester? |

Jeffro, you ever go to Buried Under Comics in Manchester? I've been there but only a couple of times. I usually see them set up at the Plainville show. |

That should've read "did you ever go to BUC in the mid 90s?"  Side note: for some reason I was reminded of Glenn Jacobs, who was a subscriber at the store (might still be!). |

Nice! I've never seen a double cover graded above 9.8.

After many years of collecting, I finally got a double cover book. Actually, the first four wraps were duplicated so I sent it in to get graded. I was too much work for the grading company to leaf through the book so they sent it back without mentioning the wraps.  |

Yes, they're going to re-holder it for me but I still haven't heard back from them on the status. My account hasn't been updated, but they've received the book so I'm hoping they'll respond back soon. Not a high dollar book but its nice if they had better communications with their customers. |

I'm curious what people find as the appeal for these. Personally, I'm not interested in double covers. They're just an anomaly to me, much like price variants. I just find them without any added appeal myself.
