Bought a couple of coverless copies since then but never did anything with them. At NYCC I gave them to Matt Nelson who married them for me. Here was the result from CGC: Awesome! And answers my question about label color for married inside pages. I love trying to piece a book together, it actually makes the difficult exponentially more difficult.

I have a bunch of parts that I may never find a match for. During my college years it was the only way I could afford certain books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you actually have it easier then just having the coverless, I find it much easier to marry covers to interiors then vice versa.

telerites Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Doutful but looking for pages of Wonder Comics #2. The Fox Wonder with the Lou Fine Yarko cover. Also need the back cover or if someone knows what other books had the same back cover that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri-Color Brian Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Back in the mid-90s I bought a Superman 11 missing a centerfold. Then I bought a coverless copy to marry to it. The staple holes do not line up, so I never did anything with them. What does it cost to have a book sent off and married? And how much does a married designation lower the value?

When you marry a book you should never get a lower grade then what it would be if it was not married 5he only differnce is it will become a qualified grade instead of universal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much does a Conserved grade lower value on a book? Does anyone know? It's probably not as much as a Restored grade...but I just don't know how collectors view conserved books...

Thanks. But let's say you want to buy a book that guides for $1000 universal. What would you expect to pay for a married copy of that book in that grade? same price? 10% less, 20% less?, 30% less? What? That's the answer I'm looking for... Edited December 27, 2017 by Tri-ColorBrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

path4play Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Couple of recent successful (off-board) marriages. Added complete coverless Tech 42 with the cover of a formerly incomplete w/cover and also used inside wrap of complete coverless Bats #17 to copy I found missing inside wrap. There not beauties, but satisfying to put stuff together to make "whole." AnkurJ, ender and vaillant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks i have seen a few on ebay but even coverless a hulk 1 can go for as much as $1000, though i do recall a really beat up copy missing the first two wraps and cover selling for about $300 a few years ago, best of luck on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
