Re-creation Service

Planning on putting together a run of Superman, but can't afford the #1? With prices staring at almost $10,000 for a complete copy, this book and others like it are out of many collectors' price range. A much cheaper alternative is to find a coverless copy. Without a cover, a Superman #1 runs only $2,000-$3,000.

Before and after re-creation of a Superman #1 cover. This particular interior needed
extensive cleaning and piece fill to the margins, which was performed using our 
restoration service. With a recreated cover, the book is collectible again!

But who wants a comic missing the cover, especially when that book finishes a run of otherwise complete copies? With our re-creation service, you can have both!

Classics Incorporated has spent years waiting for attractive copies of valuable key issues to pass through our doors so we can shoot exact replicas for this service. So far we've managed to find most of top ten Golden and Silver Age comics, and our search continues….

Each cover is shot on paper of similar thickness and gloss, and exactly matches the original inside and out. We then match these replicas to submitted copies of coverless comics, each cut to fit the interior perfectly. Any major tears are sealed, and loose centerfolds or split wraps are repaired before the cover is attached. Finally, the book is pressed.

Many Silver Age keys turn up coverless, which makes the re-creation service a
popular one for the era. This particular Amazing Fantasy #15 interior was in
very nice shape to begin with, resulting in a significant enhancement of value. 
Cost is $150 per cover, and includes all of the work listed above. Additional work, such as piece fill and page cleaning will be extra, and determined when the book is Proscreened. Our list of available covers is in the left column above.
