Owner's Description

THIS IS A MISLABELED 1983 ACTION COMICS SUPERMAN #1 REPRINT. THIS SUPERMAN REPRINT IS ACTUALLY 1987 IN A 1983 LABELED HOLDER, CGC MISSED THAT COPYRIGHT DATE WHEN SEALING IT IN THIS HOLDER. IT SHOULD READ 1987. THE EASY WAY TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE THE 1983 ISSUE HAS A SUPERMAN / PEANUT BUTTER ON THE REVERSE COVER. THIS SPECIFIC COPY HAS THE NESTLE QUICK BUNNY, THAT REVERSE WAS ONLY USED ON THE 1987 COMICS. THE 1983 SUPERMAN REPRINTS ARE RARE, ONLY FIVE COPIES HAVE GRADED 9.8. TWO COPIES RECENTLY GRADED (9- 28- 2016) AND IM 100% POSITIVE THIS IS THE 4TH COPY GRADED 9.8. ( BUT IS NOT 1983 IS ACTUALLY 1987). ONE MORE RECENTLY GRADED 9.8. AND IS A TRUE 1983 CORRECTLY LABELED ON THE HOLDER. THIS MEANS THERE STILL ARE ONLY 4 ACTUAL CGC 9.8 COPIES. CGC WOULD CORRECT THIS MISTAKE FOR FREE AFTER CHECKING IT IS ACTUALLY LABELED INCORRECTLY. CGC WOULD VERIFY THE MISTAKE. I HAVE CHOSEN TO LEAVE IT IN THIS HOLDER AS A KNOWN ERROR MISLABELED AND AN ODDITY FOR THIS SET. I AM 100% POSITIVE THIS IS THE 4TH EVER 9.8 CGC GRADED COMIC FOR THE 1983 YEAR. THE ONLY PROBLEM ITS INCORRECT, INTERESTING PIECE AND ADDS ANOTHER UNIQUENESS TO THIS SET.

THIS REPRINT IS IN CGCs NEW STYLE HOLDER, ANOTHER WAY TO TELL IT HAS BEEN RECENTLY GRADED. MANY PEOPLE MISTAKE THE 1983 AND 1987 COMICS, BECAUSE WHEN READING THE COPYRIGHT DATE LINE THEY SEE THE 1983 DATE BUT FAIL TO SEE THE 1987 ON THE SAME LINE SHORTLY WORDED AFTER 1983.THE COPYRIGHT DATE LINE MUST BE READ FULLY TO CONFIRM ACTUAL DATE. THE 1983 / 1987 SUPERMAN REPRINT COMIC EVEN CONFUSES CGC.
