Amazing Spider-man 129 question 2 2

[robshannonups]

So I have a double cover of amazing spiderman 129 with writing towards the bottom but overall the comic looks to be at least an 8.0. Should I remove that cover or leave it alone? The inside cover looks flawless.

Leave it, double covers are highly desired by some collectors.

No please do not remove the outer cover it is kind of rare that way, to my knowledge there was only 6 known copies of #129 with Double Covers and yours would make the 7th one it would be a shame to change that.   Would you post a picture?

Also, if you were to get it graded, I think CGC puts the highest graded # on the sticker.  So if the outside was a 8.0 and the inside was a 9.2, the grade listed would be a 9.2.  Plus, as others have already stated, double-covers generally bring in higher prices.

Yep, this exactly. Leave that other cover attached!

Congrats! There are collectors that will pay a premium for double cover copies.

Very cool book. Congrats !  CGC made a wise decision with how they grade double covers. To discourage the removal of the outer cover, they assign the higher of the two grades.

Thanks, I bought this in a collection in the early 90's(ASM 99-299) along with X-Men 95-120 for $1000.00 at a local show in Charleston, SC. Just had it graded. Unfortunately I had the ASMs in long boxes in my comic book closet along with about about 10 other long boxes and only upuntil about two years ago did I realize they were gone. I had a graded ASM 121-8.0 and a 122 9.4  and also purchased an ASM 15 7.0 that ended up missing. That's what I get for not double checking my collection periodically. ASM 129 was hanging on the wall and was untouched!

Someone stole your comics from your stash? In your house?

Yes, it would have been disastrous to punish the book by going with an average. People would have been destroying double (or more) cover books left and right.

It was either my ex-wife or cousins that I let live with me for about 8 months while I was going through my divorce. I had so many long boxes in my closet that I didn't realize what was missing until years later. Its what I get for being too nice of a guy and too trustworthy!
