Owner's Description

1983 ACTION COMICS # 1 SUPERMAN REPRINT 10c ISSUE COVER PRICE. UNBELIEVABLE FOR A RECENT ISSUED COMIC HOW RARE 1983 IN THIS SERIES IS SO DIFFICULT TO FIND IN HIGH GRADE. NOT MANY PEOPLE SAVED THIS ISSUE IN HIGH NUMBERS AND THERE JUST WERE NOT A LOT OF THESE COPIES PRINTED. EVEN NOW 30 + YEARS LATER THIS IS A COMIC THAT ONLY HAS FIVE COPIES GRADED 9.8 AND SIX COPIES GRADED 9.6. WITH ONLY ONE SIGNATURE SERIES 1983 GRADED 9.4. THERE ARE ONLY 11 COPIES TOTAL GRADED 9.6 OR HIGHER FOR THE ENTIRE 1983 YEAR. THIS PARTICULAR COPY IS NEAR IMMACULATE GRADING 9.8. AN AMAZING EXAMPLE OF THIS YEAR AND VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN HIGH GRADE. THERE ARE VERY FEW UNGRADED ISSUES AND THE BULK OF UNGRADED COPIES HAVE SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMATIC ISSUES. HIGHLY UNLIKELY THERE WILL BE MANY IF ANY MORE GRADING 9.6 AND HIGHER OF THIS 1983 REPRINT ISSUE. FIVE COPIES GRADED 9.8 IS RARE...( SO FAR )...& COULD EASILY STAY THAT WAY. THIS COPY IS A HOLY GRAIL COMIC FOR THIS SET. BEAUTIFUL COPY AND PRETTY RARE CONSIDERING ALL FACTS THAT THERE ARE ONLY 11 TOTAL GRADED 9.6 OR HIGHER. THESE FACTS MAKES THE FIVE 1983 9.8 COPIES ONE OF THE RAREST LOW QUANTITIES GRADED FOR THIS ENTIRE SET. AS OF 12 / 31 / 2016 TWO MORE COPIES WERE GRADED OF THIS 1983 REPRINT, ONE GRADED 9.8, ONE GRADED 9.6. THE 9.8 COPY GRADED IS ACTUALLY A 1987 BUT CGC MISSED THAT AND HOLDER-ED IT 1983. IT HAS THE NESTLES QUICK BUNNY ON THE REVERSE IS THE EASY WAY TO TELL IT IS NOT 1983 BUT ACTUALLY A 1987 COMIC. THE NESTLE BUNNY WAS ONLY USED IN 1987. THE MISS HOLDER-ED 1987 / 1983 COMIC IS IN THIS SET.

THIS SPECIFIC COMIC WAS LISTED ON E-BAY WITH THE ASKING PRICE AS OF 1 / 16 / 2017 $699 / OFFER. SELLER ACCEPTED OFFER / ADDED TO THIS SET...ASKING PRICE WAS ON THE HIGH SIDE AS THE SUPERMAN REPRINTS STILL SUFFER THE SELLERS WITH THE OVER ASKING PRICE SYNDROME. NOT FAR OUT OF LINE IF THE COLLECTOR INTEREST WAS IN LINE WITH THE ASKING PRICES. JUST NOT THE CASE, TOO MANY SELLERS ARE CLUELESS ON TRUE VALUES, THIS 1983 YEAR ALONG WITH THE TWO COMICS PRINTED IN 1976 ARE ALWAYS OVER PRICED. ONE COPY MISS GRADED 1983 ACTUALLY IS 1987 COMIC YOU CAN SEE THE PROOF THE CGC MISS HOLDER-ED COMIC IS IN THIS SET. THERE ARE ONLY FOUR 1983 COPIES CGC GRADED 9.8 TOTAL NOT AS THE CGC CENSUS STATES OF FIVE.
