SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
I added this sweet Signature Series book to my competetive set in November 2023... I started with a 9.8 newsstand in this slot and then later replaced it with a 9.8 direct edition (which is also in my Custom Set). The newsstand copy was from my original raw collection and I had submitted it myself. I replaced it with the direct edition when CGC made the decision to view newsstands differently in the Registry... I am cool with them breaking them down in the census (which will now NEVER be correct) but not in the Registry. In order to walk the walk I got the direct book from My Comic Shop for $55.00. In my effort to continually expand my overall collection of these books I couldn't pass up this Signature Series book when it popped up for sale on eBay for $125.00!
I really enjoyed this version of Superboy and I thought it was great how he was included as one of the four possible Supermen.
I remember that there was a rumored Superboy/King Shark action figure two pack in the '90's. There was a prototype carded (on a different figure's card) figure made but the two pack never went into production. They later did make a Superboy/King Shark two pack but it was in a box rather than on a card. I've included a picture of that boxed two pack in the second picture slot here. I would still love for that prototype carded two pack to pop up for sale someday!
I'm really glad my original copy came back 9.8 as there was one on eBay at the same time listed for $120.00 BIN. Aside from saving some money, it is very satisfying to have books from my original collection come back 9.8!
