SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
I won this book on eBay for $62.00 which I think is pretty good considering there were two others listed at the time with buy it now prices over $150.00. My Base Set was at 52 percent when I bought this book, I also had 20 books at CGC and 11 others sitting on my shelf waiting to be submitted after those came back. This was one I did not have, either at CGC or on the shelf, so I was looking for it. I'm glad to have gotten it for a good price!
The book in the second image came with the one that started it all... this reprint was included with the TPB my Mom sent me back in 1992. After finally getting all of my stuff out of storage and driving it cross-country, I submitted this book to CGC via CCS. Grade date on this book is 19 November 2018... 25 Years, 10 months, and 26 days from when I first freed it from the shrink wrap, and well before I would have considered myself a collector. My Mom, having passed in 2012, may have been looking over the grader's shoulder when this one was graded!
I think Action Comics 685 is a great homage in the wake of Superman's death. There are so many cool things about this set if you take the time to appreciate them! I wish I had appreciated my Mom more when she was around.
Now that I've created a Custom Set this Action Comics 1 reprint will also have it's own slot! The fact that it literally came with the TPB that started this journey makes it easily worthy of it's own slot!
