Owner's Description

For some reason I hesitated to look for the second, third, and fourth printings of this book. I would see them fairly frequently on eBay and wasn't that concerned about being able to find them. I focused my efforts on harder to find raw books so I could send them in myself. I had finally submitted a group of 20 books (my personal largest submission yet) from this set to CCS and CGC, which included these three printings, as well as many <i>from my original raw collection.</i> Meanwhile, I kept an eye out and saw that these started to show up a little less frequently but I was really hoping to get 9.8's out of my submissions. I even let one second printing end in auction style for only $66.00 without bidding! Anyways, my three Superman 75's from that submission did not fare well so I was back to work looking for 9.8's. At the same time a Universal 9.8 copy of this book was listed on eBay for $180.00 but I had noticed the seller drop it to $160.00 and then $140.00. I made an offer of $120.00 which I was glad he accepted!

That Universal Label book was the first of the Superman 75 later printings to be added to my set. Much later, when I had gotten my set to 100% completion, and all 9.8’s except for two 9.6’s, I started to slowly upgrade slots to Signature Series books if the right opportunity presented itself… this is one of the books that I was fortunate enough to upgrade. I had this book reholdered in February 2021.
