Owner's Description

This is a pretty cool second printing and wasn't that hard to find. I won the Universal copy of this book that helped me get my set to 100% completion on eBay for $100.00, and later upgraded this slot to this Signature Series book signed by Jerry Ordway. I reholdered this book in December 2020.

The thing I really like about the various printings in this set is how the title colors were changed, as well as the roman numerals being added. The different colors make each printing's cover feel totally unique from one another.

It always brightens my day to pull out some of the various printings and look at them side by side!

I have included a picture of all four Doomsday cameo second printings graded 9.8 in the second picture slot as they were when first assembled including my Universal copy. The same image of the first printings is included in the first printing slot of this same book. In the gallery tab, these are located on the same page so you can expand them both and look at all of the first and second printings of the Doomsday cameos all at once, which I think is pretty cool!

<i>As of this writing, this is the *only collection in the World that contains all four second printings of the Doomsday cameos all graded 9.8!</i> It took a lot of work but was also a lot of fun putting them together! I hope anyone looking through this set enjoys the way I have photographed certain books to show them together in meaningful ways. I think it adds to the presentation of this set, but it also allows me to look through the set and reminisce without having to handle my books all the time.

*My friend <i>Brandon Shepherd</i> became the second member of the 'All Four Doomsday Cameo Second Printings in 9.8 Club' in December 2020 (with a little help from a friend)... congrats <i>Brandon!</i>
