This gorgeous book was a self submission. I already had this issue in 9.8 grade, that I purchased in 2019 for a $125. When I found this particular copy at my LCS, Escape Velocity Comics in Colorado Springs, CO for only $3.00 I scooped it up right away. Some would say it’s a waste of money to submit books you already have graded, especially when you factor in shipping and pressing, but this is a special book, and I enjoy the process. This example became only the 14th 9.8 in the CGC census for this issue. That’s not to imply that this book is very rare, but only 14 9.8 examples from 2001 to 2023 for a popular title is not a lot. I’m sure there will be more 9.8 examples added as the years go on but Superman #73 as of this writing has the lowest number of 9.8s in the census compared to the other three Doomsday teaser issues. I was also able to sell my previous 9.8 of this issue right away on eBay for a nice profit not long after adding this piece to my set.
“Somewhere else...
…Doomsday is coming!”
Story continued in Adventures of Superman #496 (11/92).
