How do you decide a price for double covers?

[Old Fashion PB and J]

I have a Flash double cover that will be going to cgc. I imagine it should grade above 9.2 for the outside cover. But is there some rule of thumb for pricing these? And there doesnt seem to be one on census, and nothing mentioned in GPA.

If it's a key,icon cover, or scarce...it may command a premium.If the outer cover is as nice as the inner it helps. I've seen examples were a book may have an inner cover of 9.2 and an outer cover of 8.0 that goes for less than the 9.2 grade that CGC gives it because it isn't nice in the slab..I'd try starting with a 50% premium ....you can always lower the price.GOD BLESS...

P.S. If the book doesn't generally fetch guide....full guide for the double covermay be all you can expect.

Do some people remove the first cover if it's a much lower grade that the interior cover before sending to CGC. I have never even held a double cover. I hope to own one someday.

1.5X guide or FMV.

I may have paid more then that.. But it is a Flash 217 Neal Adams cover (yellow border) I like it, but was considering selling after it is slabbed

I did on an Amazing Spiderman low 200 with twin fusion or something, the outside cover looked like hell, the inside looked crisp and clean.

 

I do not regret it one bit.

Personally, I believe (like 30 cent variants) that its a niche collector market; and it all depends on what that particular buyer wants to pay.

I have a number of double cover issues (both raw and slabbed) and personally wouldn't sell one unless I got at least 1.5 to 2x GPA for a single cover issue in the same grade.

Which brings me to my next point.. my neece, 8 years old was getting shown some of my new foreign comics, some which I have to searched far and wide to find.. I showed her my spiderman 300 mexican edition 1989, she found it to be a double cover!!! I rushed to get my wife, because this comic took me 5 months to find get, lo-and behold..my neece took the top cover off because of "of the defect uncle hector" , "now it's perfect"...... :o

 

I had a blank look in my face...and walked away...destroyed a bit inside..my fault totally...

Find the price by having someone get in a bidding war with GIJoed, or whatever his ebay handle is. You'll be very happy.

So slab it and drop it on the bay.

Unless it's a book that Christian wants, and then you sell it to him for a fair price.
