SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
From the 'NO ONE CAN KILL SUPERMAN!' collection.
This book was the lone 9.8 in the census when I added it to this set! I had this book reholdered in December 2020.
This book replaced a 9.4. The 9.4 was from a terrible submission where I only got one 9.8 out of 20 books. The lone 9.8 from that submission is the third printing of this same book. When I bought this 9.8 I also got the fourth printing, my grail of all grails graded 9.8 ss, at the same time. Interestingly enough, the first printing of this book eluded me more than any other first printing, and was the last first printing I needed from the entire Base Set of books.
I finally found the first printing in 9.8 with the help of another board member (and ultimately ended up with four 9.8's due to my own submissions)!
I finally show a picture of all four printings of this book together in the second picture slot here... this is currently the only place where this is possible! I had the fourth printing reholdered as well, it was in an old holder but also had a small crack in the lower left hand corner. I decided to leave the old slabs in the group picture to remember what they looked like when the four printing were first assembled. Enjoy!
