SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
From the 'NO ONE CAN KILL SUPERMAN!' collection.
This is the first 9.9 that joined this set!
When I added this book there were a total of 3156 graded; 1586 were 9.8’s, but there were only five 9.9’s.
I knew that books like this one existed but I never imagined that I would ever have one in this set. I had already been talking to the owner about the 9.8’s from his collection that were missing from mine, and we were working on a price for those. He then mentioned this book and the Adventures of Superman 500 Platinum Error that he also had. Once we had a price for the 9.8’s I made an additional offer to add this one and the 500 Error, that he accepted. I really feel that we both dealt with each other very fairly, and I hope that he was as happy to sell these books to me, as I was to buy them from him. I know I could have just added these books to this set and forgot about where they came from, but I really feel like that would have been ungracious. I don’t mind letting whoever reads through this set know that I can’t take all of the credit for putting these books together.
I’m so glad to have a 9.9 of the 1st full appearance of Doomsday in this set! I got this book reholdered in September 2020. Sending this book (and a few others with it) away to get reholdered was so stressful that it inspired me to start my first CGC Journal titled Adventures in Reholdering! to document my experience as I worked to reholder all of my books that were in old holders.
The figure in the second picture slot is a SDCC exclusive from several years ago. I never fully realized how close it was to the cover of this book until seeing these images next to each other in this gallery. A friend of mine picked this up for me one of the years when I couldn’t go myself... thanks Joe!
Note - in November 2021 a 9.9 copy of this book sold auction style on Comic Link for $4532.00.
In early 2022 I added a triple cover 9.8 copy of this book to my collection… I call that book The Beast and you can check it out in my Custom Set of these books.
