SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
What a long, strange trip it's been...
So, around 2005 or 2006 Metropolis Comics had consigned to them a nice Superboy 13 and 14 in CGC 7.0 both OW pages. I thought they were priced too high so I passed.
A little later, Heritage Comics listed a raw Superboy 13 described as a fine that I won in their weekly auction. I just didn't really like it, and returned it.
Eventually, Steve Borack listed a Superboy 13 in CGC 5.5 with OW/W pages on the boards for more than the Heritage copy I returned.
I bought it, cracked it out and found that it was the SAME book I returned to Heritage!! OY!
So...this 7.0 copy currently in my registry set..I got it from Comiclink in one of their signature auctions...for MORE than what Metro had their 7.0 for....yes, they are the same copy.
Around a couple of years ago, Steve Ritter lists a Superboy 14 on the CGC boards in 7.0 OW for just a little less than the Metro copy...yes they are the same one. Hey, moral vicory here, I save $25!
So...I now have both the 13 and 14 That I passed on from Metro...saving about $18 overall on both! OY!
Moral of the story...if you really want it, and the books can be tough to come by, don't pass them up! I said in another comment that patience is a virtue, it can also turn around and bite you.
Now, onto the book itself... A nice appearing copy of another tough 52 pager. This issue is a tough one to get. Yes, I have seen a couple, there is a 8.5 out there that is really nice, but has a noticeable chip out of the front cover that would drive me crazy everytime I see it. This 7.0 fit in nicely with my set. Your home for good Superboy 13!
This is another of those covers that showed Superboy doing super stuff in everyday settings. These type of covers would end with number 18.
