Single 9.8 when purchased.

It's good to see Lana Lang with Clark Kent on the cover. Covers that tease us by showing both Clark Kent and Superman are always fun. I purchased this piece when I only had a handful of CGC comics and fewer examples from <i>Action Comics</i>. This piece brings back fond memories of the early days of my CGC collecting, like the excitement of winning an online auction and collecting books printed before my time, that appear as if they were printed yesterday - 9.8 books really spoil you. I think this was only the second example from the 1970s for <i>Action Comics</i> at the time I purchased it.
