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 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!

<u><i>The book in the second image came with the one that started it all...</i></u> 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 <i>collector.</i> 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 <i>death.</i> 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.
