Owner's Description

This book popped up on eBay newly graded along with a Superman 74 fourth printing which I already had. I kept an eye on both and watched the bidding throughout the week. I had been getting discouraged because other books from this set had been on eBay recently with pretty high BIN prices. It was looking like people were starting to gouge collectors looking for these books.

On the last day of the auction it looked like some bids were being placed to drive the price up on both books so I pretty much decided to write this one off. I don't mind paying a premium for a book that I need as long as it feels fair and it was starting to feel like it wasn't going to be. Anyways, I'm driving home from work with these thoughts running through my mind when a commercial comes on the radio with a jingle that always irritates the crap out of me... I immediately change the channel before they get too far into it and the channel I switched to was playing <i>Superman</i> by R.E.M. <i>I aaaam, I aam Superman... and I can do anything.</i> I took this as a sign to not give up on this book so here it is. Ultimately, I think I did get it for a fair price at $140.38. It ended up that there was a flipper but they were more interested in the fourth printing, which was relisted a week later for twice the price! <i>NOT COOL MAN!</i>
