Owner's Description

1976 ACTION COMICS #1 SUPERMAN 10c COVER PRICE REPRINT THAT HAS A "PRINTING ERROR" WITH TWO COMICS STAPLED TOGETHER AT THE BINDING SEAM. THIS TYPE OF ERROR IS PRETTY RARE, SURPRISING IT HAS SURVIVED INTACT FOR OVER 40 YEARS WITH NO ONE SEPARATING THE TWO ISSUES. THIS COMIC COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN PULLED APART BY SOMEONE MAKES THE RARITY OF THIS SPECIFIC YEAR / MUCH RARER OF THE TWO COMICS PRINTED IN 1976 WITH THE FACT IT IS THE SLEEPING BAG COMIC AND TWO COMICS TOGETHER...RARE! THE SAFEGUARD FREE ISSUE IS MUCH MORE AVAILABLE THAN THE 10C ISSUE. NO WAY TO BE 100% POSITIVE BUT THIS IS MOST LIKELY THE ONLY ERROR PRINTED IN 1976 WITH TWO COMICS STAPLED TOGETHER STILL INTACT. CGC LUMPS ALL THE COMICS TOGETHER IN THE CENSUS, NO WAY TO TELL SPECIFIC ISSUES & QUANTITIES PRINTED. HAD SEEN IT FOR SALE UNGRADED ON E-BAY BUT AT THE TIME KNEW IT WOULDN'T GRADE 9.8 SO I PASSED ON BUYING IT AT AUCTION. DIDN'T OCCUR TO ME TO HAVE IT CGC GRADED AS AN UNUSUAL COMIC FOR THIS SET. BY CHANCE THE OWNER SENT IT TO CGC RELISTED AS A RARE COMIC, BUT WAY OVER PRICED, HE WAS ASKING $1500. OVER TIME THE SELLER KEPT LOWERING THE PRICE DAY BY DAY, WEEK BY WEEK TO WHERE IT WAS REASONABLY PRICED. HAPPY IT WAS LISTED AGAIN AS IT IS TRULY A RARE FIND. ONLY GRADES 6.0 BUT TWO COMICS IN ONE FROM THE MANUFACTURE IS TRULY A FANTASTIC FIND ADDING TO THE UNIQUENESS OF THIS SET. PRICE DROPPED A RARE ERROR OF A SCARCE ISSUE PERFECT ADDITION TO THIS SUPERMAN REPRINT SET.
