I just took a look at my most recent issue of Exiles, 84, I believe.
(the one where they go to an alternate reality where the Soviet Union
still exists, and the Cold War never ceased.
This one has a complete, doubled cover. I did a double take when I
opened it, only to see the cover again. I looked at the back cover,
and same thing. The ads and everything on the inside are also doubled.
I don't mean that the image shows some sort of shadow, or afterimage.
I mean that there is a cover within a cover.
It looks like they just somehow got two of the covers on there before
it was stapled together, or something like that. In all the years I've
been reading comics, I've never seen this before.
I was wondering if this might be something a lot of folks
encountered, but searches online didn't turn anything up, so I guess
not.
When coins are minted wrong, with errors, double struck and such, it
can make them worth 50 times what a normal one is worth. I am not sure
if this is also the case with comics.
Anyone care to comment? I am trying to decide if it would be worth
sending it off to be graded, sealed and slabbed, or whatever they do in
the comics industry like that. I just don't have the expertise here to
make an informed decision.
Normally I just view comics as great reading material, but this time
I figured that I ought to get some advice before making a decision on
what to do. Thanks in advance for your feedback!
