Shark Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 years ago, I along with 2 of my middle school buddies went to the LCS after school. The new FF by John Byrne was out that day and I was the first one to pick one off the rack. To my surprise it was a double cover and i told my 2 buddies about it. We found 2 more in the rack so all 3 of us bought a double cover FF that day. Sadly, that book is no longer in my possession. I wonder if that was an isolated situation where multiple double covers were found in the same box. It would be neat to have multiple issues of the same book with double covers. Anyone here lucky enough to have that? I have multiple double covers of 2 ASM's. Not from the same store though. and PM sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey BRNebraska you should trade or sale me one of those ASM #307's as I still don't have that one. (thumbs u Very cool story etanick, I have a simular story my very first and only Double Cover Comic I ever bought New was a Alpha Flight #44, I bought it at a local Drug Store way back in 1986 out of a Spinner Rack. I bought several comics that day as I recall and when I took them out to my car and looked through them I noticed that the Alpha Flight had two covers I was very supprised as I had never seen a comic like that before and I had been buying comics ever week or so since late 1975. Well after I discovered the Alpha Flight had two covers I went back into the Drug Store to look at the other 4 or 5 copies of that book they had at the time and sure enough their was one more that also had two covers, so I bought it. So my first Double Cover was very cool find "two of the same book", and I don't think I ever had another one until about 2001 when I started collecting ASM's with Double Covers. Here is a picture of one of the Alpha Flight comics I found that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etanick Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 sweet Alpha Flight! glad you went back in there to look for more. It is not unusual to see the errors in the same box of new shipment so for any current collectors out there.... If you pick one up of the rack and see a double, don't forget to check out the rest of what is left...just don't get the shop owner to yell at you for ruining all the books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I've had this one for some time now but I guess I never took a picture of it. Too bad it has that water stain at the bottom right corner that goes through BOTH covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etanick Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 this is going to be one fun auction to watch....I can't wait to see what else is in that auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50 Cent #II (1st) Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 He bought a few double and a triple cover from me, so I'll probably see those in the auction. I was a little disappointed because he seemed to be very nice when buying something he wanted, but he said he would look for any double cover Undergrounds in his collection for me but never contacted me after the sale.
