It means that the cover, a page or pages came from another book and replaced those on the original book.

"CGC uses the term “Married Cover” to describe a comic that has a cover attached to it that originally came from another comic. CGC will give a comic with a “Married Cover” or “Married Pages” a green label indicating it's a qualified grade"

Interesting post. I've never heard about it before.

Welcome To The Boards!!!

Some people may have an old book/key book that is missing a cover/torn cover/piece missing or has a page torn/missing/coupon cut out so they will look to buy just that page or the cover only and attach it to their book, that is called marrying the cover or pages since they did not originally come with that book but are now joined together.

Where do people find just a page or cover??? Apparently they are out there, just have to search.

People also have a single page graded at CGC just to verify its authenticity, say for example you found a page and it appears to be from an original Action Comics #1, Detective Comics 27, Marvel Comics 1, etc.,  is it real or from a reprint, CGC will tell you.
