Owner's Description

THE 1998 USPS FIRST DAY OF ISSUE SUPERMAN REPRINT COMIC...KNEW THIS COPY WOULD GRADE 9.8 WHEN HOLDING IT IN MY HAND. SENT THIS TO CGC IN 2014 AND GRADED 9.8. THIS IS A LOW POP COMIC ON THE CGC CENSUS & IS AN OUTSTANDING COPY FOR THIS SET. POP IN THE CGC CENSUS FOR THIS COMIC IS SLOWLY RISING ON THE CHARTS AS EXPECTED WHAT WAS ONCE A SCARCE ISSUE IS BECOMING MORE COMMON. POP IS NOW 25 AS OF 9 / 2 / 2016, COULD BE A COMMON ISSUE BUT SCARCE IN HIGH GRADE SO FAR AND A COOL VARIANT OF THE 1976 - 2004 REPRINTS. MANY OF THE COPIES OF THIS YEAR HAVE MINOR IMPERFECTIONS KEEPING THEM FROM THE 9.8 GRADE. THE POP OF THESE 1998 USPS 9.8S IS SLOWLY RISING. ONE THAT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND IS THE UN STAMPED USPS ISSUES. HAVE HEARD THERE ARE SOME OUT THERE BUT FINDING THEM IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.

THESE WOULD BE COMICS THAT MAY HAVE SOME IMPERFECTIONS ON THEM RENDERING THEM UNSUITABLE FOR SELLING TO CONSUMERS. NO ONE WANTS TO PURCHASE PRODUCTS IN POOR CONDITION. ITS UNCERTAIN WHAT HAS HAPPENED THESE COMICS. THERE HAS TO BE SOME UN STAMPED COPIES NO WAY TO TELL HOW MANY BUT MUST BE FEW QUANTITIES.

UP DATE 1 / 14 / 2017 FINALLY FOUND THE VERY ELUSIVE 1998 USPS UN STAMPED / NOT CANCELED BY THE POST OFFICE SUPERMAN REPRINT. HAVE LITERALLY LOOKED AT 1000s OF COMICS OVER MANY YEARS THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY ONE. WAS VERY SURPRISED TO SEE IT WAS IN AN AUCTION WITH A BUY IT NOW PRICE BOUGHT IT IMMEDIATELY. AS EXPECTED IT HAD A MINOR TEAR ON THE FLAP WHERE POST OFFICE STAMPS AND DATE CANCELS THE POSTAGE.

VERY MINOR TEAR / 99 9/10th% SURE WHY THIS COPY WAS NEVER STAMPED AND POLY BAGGED FOR SALE. IF NOT FOR THAT TEAR IM 100% SURE THIS COPY WOULD GRADE 9.8. THAT WOULD BE AN INCREDIBLE FIND TO HAVE A 9.8 UN STAMPED / NOT CANCELED FOR THIS SET. THE COMIC IS STUNNING IN COLOR, SHARPNESS OF THE CORNERS AND THE FLATNESS...IT IS BEAUTIFUL! EXCEPT FOR THAT TEAR...SURE IT IS THE REASON POST OFFICE NEVER GOT IT. WILL BE SENDING IT TO CGC SOON WILL BE 100% SHOCKED IF DOSEN`T GRADE A 9.6, BUT SURE WOULD BE A FIND IF CAN EVER FIND ONE THAT DOES GRADE 9.8 BUT SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT WILL EVER HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE ITS A RARE ISSUE NOT STAMPED.
