I've always liked this cover, true Americana. This book is very sharp, with vibrant colors - the inks on the title logo look as if they are still drying. This newsstand fresh piece exemplifies everything my Action Comics run is all about: great covers from before my time with superb preservation. I first tried unsuccessfully for another 9.8 example of this issue on ComicLink in 2013, the final bid was $405, my max bid was $300. A few years later I got the Oakland copy on ComicConnect for only $175.
