Set Description

This set is a tribute to the original Action Comics #1 1938 Superman containing "reprints" printed from 1974 - on. It will also include swipe / variant / and homage comics honoring the original #1 Superman drawn by many different creative comic book artists. These variant / swipe and homage covers will add to making this set unique printed in recognition to the original # 1 Superman. Finding these swipe / variant and homage comics will be a definite challenge.

Last reprint issue in this series is now the 2018 New Zealand Pure Silver Foil issue, not actually a comic but just a single sheet of pure silver the image on the cover is a well-done replica. With 2018 the 80th anniversary of the first Superman release in 1938, 2018 has been a bust year where there have been many variants being released, making it a challenging year keeping up with all the new comics. All other Superman reprints were printed only in the years from 1974 now to 2018. Expect there to be many more in the upcoming years as well.

The first reprint was the 1974 Treasury Edition, a larger comic format (13.5 x 9.5) than previously released comics, two printings in 1976 / a Free Safeguard issue & the 10c cover price issue, 1983 10c Peanut Butter reverse issue,(a rare comic), 1987 Nestle Quick Bunny on reverse / 10c cover price. 1988 50 year anniversary edition, two printings this year, a direct sales issue with barcode bottom left corner, the other has a garbage can bottom left corner. 1992 had two issues printed / one with 10c cover price, the other with a $1 cover price, most of the $1 copies graded are signed by creator Jerry Siegel, have not seen any 10c covers signed by Jerry Siegel, not sure if any exists. If a 10c copy ever appears it will be rare. The CGC census does not separate these two copies printed so can't be positive if one exists. 1993 / most all CGC graded comics are signed by Jerry Siegel, with only 3 unsigned copies grading 9.8, one of those 3 is in this set, had the opportunity to purchase all three with consecutive cert #s but the budget wouldn't allow that at the time. 1998 USPS First Day of Issue...postage & stamped canceled by the Post Office September 10th 1998, very few of these 1998 USPS copies have been found "without" the canceled postage...those copies are rare. Millennium 2000 issue with gold foil stamp top left on cover 11 so far graded 9.8. A semi-rare 2004 mini-comic size roughly 3 x 5 originally included with a Superman limited edition figure. In four years have only seen four of these for sale / no Superman figure has ever been found with this comic to date. Will be extremely rare if a 9.8 is ever found with the Superman figure, would be holy grail addition to this set, chances highly unlikely to ever find one with the mini-comic and figure together.

After seeing many comics that have the "influence" of the # 1 1938 Superman in the drawings and images on their covers may add some of those comics that "fit" the look of the original Superman to this set. Many artists are inspired by the #1 Superman and there are many comics that look like there is similarity on the covers. Some of these may not have anything to do with being an actual intended variant, so I will be selective on picking these comics & want them to honestly relate in some way as an homage to the #1 Superman. This area of adding comics that have the 'look has grown much more than expected in adding actual comics to this set. I have come across some important finds that have expanded this set in a new direction but still maintaining the theme of Action Comics #1. There are numerous examples that seem to have been influenced, so many more than I actually expected. They will be considered for the set in much more detail in how the Action Comics #1 has really changed the face of comics in a broader spectrum. This area could be another custom set onto itself. But for now, will just be added to this set because some look to be excellent choices. May not be intended variants but will be worth the extra effort making this set as complete as possible with as many different variants, homage, or swipe covers & adds a unique challenge to finding the highest grades possible in these variant covers and now non-variants. These non-variants will be displayed in the latter part of this collection.

Looking for only CGC 9.8 graded copies...if no 9.8 copy is available a lower graded copy may be used until a 9.8 copy is found. Most comics not grading 9.8 has a 99% probability a comic I sent to CGC. I will be striving for all copies to be 9.8 issues. Many of these variant / swipe / homage covers may not be worth grading fees/purchase price/shipping to and from CGC for grading, adds a value of a complete set with as many different variations as possible. Finding so many in high grade, & finding all 9.8 comics of the different variant copies will be a huge challenge.

The coveted Signature Series / signed copies / unsigned copies of the same issue will be added to complete this set with as many different variables as possible. Signature Series may be difficult finding because signed in limited quantities & difficult getting signatures. Many of the swipes may not be worth the cost to grade. Copies I send hopefully will grade 9.0 & higher / these comics may be the only ones graded because of limited collector interest & value.


Set Goals

Adding as many 9.8 CGC graded # 1 Superman Reprints from 1974 - 2018 and on, and as many different swipe/variant/homage covers that can be found. It will be difficult finding all reprints grading 9.8, they may prove to be elusive. Reprints from 1974 - 2017 are the main priority but the many different swipe/variant / and homage covers will be an important part in this ongoing series as well.

Will always be looking for new printings/swipe/ variant & homage copies of the original 1938 # 1 Superman. I know that there are comics that will not grade 9.8 / lower grade copies will be used until suitable copies are found. Many comics grading 9.8 will be the only copies on the CGC census meaning it's one of one, finding some of those issues will prove to be a huge challenge as some of those 9.8 copies are the only ones graded could be in other collectors set, and may never be for sale.

FOOTNOTE 8-24-2018

Interesting the 3rd anniversary of creating this set was just 4 days ago 8-20-2015. I have learned a lot from the endless searching for these swipe, variants, and homage covers enough I feel I can consider myself an expert on this series I have created. Re-reading notes on many of the comics I repeated myself so many times how difficult some of the issues are to find I got tired of listening to the thoughts running thru my head needed to get away from looking for the comics. Did this numerous times, the more I was away the more I thought about issues I may be missing out on. It is an obsession that I truly love especially finding new variants may have missed seeing before. There are some beautiful well-done covers capturing the intention of the #1 Superman reprint at first glance followed by absorbing the new image and the colors of the finished product.

I literally have spent hours and hours of searching and researching many drawings I found unsure if they have actually have been turned into published comics. Found many that would make great comics but are only an artist rendition to a homage of the cover, and not actually a comic made of the image. So finding the new comics have been a challenge as expected. Honestly feel if someone gets inspired to try & duplicate this set they will have better chances of being hit by lighting. When creating this set my mind originally was set on finding only 9.8s CGC graded homage, swipe, variant covers & I passed many because they did grade 9.8. Thought I would find higher grade later, that proved to be a mistake when passing on the chance to buy as some would be considered a key comic because even a lesser grade, not a 9.8 it was still the highest CGC comic on the census. That reminded me how difficult many of these are to find in high grade especially the foreign issues. Price has been a consideration too, have passed on many comics thought were overpriced only to see them sell at the high price. So need to adjust spending limits to secure rarer copies that may be the only ones graded and highest grade. I was thinking back on many of the comics I was unable to add to this set because of limited available funds to secure those comics for this set. Had to pass on many cool comics just because they were too expensive. Did a quick total and the amount was about 15 grand. That is a chunk of change but some of the issues were some great finds. Would have loved to be able to have purchased some but just not enough of a $$$ flow. That has made creating this set a bit more unique knowing some inexpensive comics are rare in their own right, its not always about spending the most but is about finding the best.

Can not forget to thank everyone at CGC and all the staff responsible for recognizing this set as The Best Custom Set for 2018. Award came as a huge surprise I had no idea it was even considered as a possibility. I was stunned when stumbling across the awards page on CGCs website updating this set. Didn't sink in it really happened until I received an e-mail from Dena Skeffington confirming it was true. To all at CGC thank you it was an honor I appreciate very much recognizing it meant a lot to me. My passion made better by the experience of the site you created for us collectors now able to use it to the fullest. IM sure I speak for many, we appreciate the ability to assemble our sets. Mine recognized is nothing compared to the many other outstanding sets on the Set Registry. I am humbled.

I recently was diagnosed with throat cancer that has made it very difficult to keep up with adding more comics to this set. Reluctantly it will be sold off and broken apart over time. Many have already been sold. It was a difficult decision to make as there are endless hours that have been spent searching and finding some of the rarest issues of all Action Comic #1 Variant, Homage, and swipe covers. Many of the comics in this set are the only CGC graded issues to be found. 1 of 1s, and there are actually quite a few of those. Receiving The Best Custom Set for 2108 was an honor that was appreciated for the endless hours spent on fining these rare copies. Updates will be removing comics no longer in this set. IM hoping CGC will have a way to "retire" this set showing and retaining the comics that made up this unique set, it was a challenge, expensive and fun. It will be impossible to ever duplicate this set again.


Thank you again...

1974 DC COMICS FAMOUS FIRST EDITION LIMITED COLLECTORS GOLDEN MINT SERIES UNGRADED. Action Comics 1 Modern 9.0 1974 D.C. COMICS FAMOUS FIRST EDITION / LIMITED COLLECTORS GOLDEN MINT SERIES. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME A REPRINT OF THE #1 1938 SUPERMAN WAS RELEASED. TO THE DELIGHT OF MANY COLLECTORS MANY MORE FOLLOWED IN THE YEARS AFTER THIS ONE. AFTER ALL, IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST TIME COLLECTORS COULD ACTUALLY AFFORD A COPY OF THAT FIRST ELUSIVE ISSUE. IT WAS PRINTED EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL DOWN TO EVERY DETAIL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF AN OUTER COVER ON THICK GOLD PAPER WITH THE IMAGE OF THE ORIGINAL SUPERMAN IN THE CENTER W/ FAMOUS FIRST EDITION PRINTED ALONG THE TOP, & ALSO A LARGER COMIC SIZE. THIS COMIC MEASURING 13.5 INCHES LONG BY 9.5 INCHES WIDE INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL 10 X 7 SIZE. THESE ARE PRINTED EXACTLY AS THE ORIGINAL & CAN FOOL MANY PEOPLE IF THAT GOLD OUTER COVER IS REMOVED THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THE SIZE THINKING THEY HAVE A REAL #1 SUPERMAN.

BECAUSE OF THE SIZE FINDING A COPY IN MINT CONDITION WITH FEW PROBLEMS IS NOT AN EASY TASK. THE LARGER SIZE MAKES IT A PRIME TARGET FOR NICKS, TEARS, DINGS, SPINE CREASES AND CORNER BENDS ADD TO THAT THE WAY THEY WERE ALWAYS HANDLED AND HIGH-GRADE COPIES WILL BE DIFFICULT TO FIND. FINDING THIS COMIC IN A 9.8 WILL BE A CHALLENGE. IT COULD BE THE ONLY ONE OR ONE OF VERY FEW AT MOST TO GRADE 9.8. 		View Comic
1976 ACTION COMICS REPRINT 9.8 FREE SAFEGUARD ISSUE. TOP OF COMIC CUT CLOSE. SAFEGUARD ISSUE. Action Comics 1 Modern 9.8 THIS IS ONE OF TWO REPRINTS FROM 1976 THE FREE SAFEGUARD ISSUE THE OTHER BEING THE 10c COVER PRICE ISSUE. THIS YEAR HAS A SURPRISING LARGE CGC CENSUS POPULATION IN HIGH GRADES OF 9.8. MY PHILOSOPHY IS NOT MANY PEOPLE SENT IN THE SAFEGUARD SOAP LABELS TO GET THE COMIC. THAT LEFT THE BULK OF THE COMICS IN PRISTINE CONDITION SITTING ON SHELVES UNTOUCHED FOR DECADES. OVERTIME THEY HAVE BEEN FILTERED INTO THE HOBBY. THIS IS MY THEORY WHY THERE ARE SO MANY PRISTINE COMICS GRADING 9.8. CANT CONFIRM THIS BUT FEEL IT IS A SOLID HYPOTHESIS.

ALTHOUGH HIGH GRADE IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT THE TOP IT LOOKS AS IF IT HAS BEEN CUT OFF. THIS ACTUALLY WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM PRINTING THIS ISSUE. WHAT IS MISSING ON THE TOP IS ACTUALLY MADE UP ON THE BOTTOM OF THE IMAGE AND IS A TYPICAL PRINTING ERROR. THE BOTTOM of COVER IMAGE PRINTED IS LONGER THAN ON OTHER ISSUES OF THIS YEAR. THE MAN BOTTOM LEFT CORNER HAS A LITTLE MORE OF HIS BODY SHOWING THAN COMICS NOT CUT SO CLOSE. THIS WAS NORMAL NOT THE CASE OF SOMEONE TRYING TO CUT OFF THE COMICS IMPERFECTIONS FOR A BETTER GRADE. YOU CAN SEE THE PRINTERS PAGE CUTTING LINE ON THE REVERSE BOTTOM OF THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. HAVE SEEN A FEW OTHER GGC ISSUES GRADED 9.8 "EXACTLY" LIKE THIS ONE. QUESTIONED THE HIGH GRADE BECAUSE THE TOP OF THE WRITING OF SAFEGUARD IS CUT SLIGHTLY ALONG THE TOP REVERSE. THAT DIDN'T SEEM TO BE AN ISSUE WHEN CGC GRADED IT AND WAS ACCEPTABLE IN THEIR GRADING PRACTICES. MANY 1976 9.8 HIGH-GRADE COPIES CURRENTLY HAVE "ASKING PRICES" OVER $1000, OTHERS $450 AND UP. I STILL FEEL THOSE PRICES ARE BY UNINFORMED SELLERS NOT KNOWING THE TRUE VALUES. THE SAFEGUARD ISSUE IS MORE COMMON THAN THE 10c ISSUE. ITS TRUE RETAIL VALUE IS REALLY IN THE $275 - $350 RANGE BUT SELLERS WITH STUPID ASS ASKING PRICES GOOD LUCK FINDING A TRUE VALUED COPY FOR SALE.

THERE ARE 55 COPIES GRADED 9.8 AT THIS TIME AND THAT NUMBER RISES DAILY. A COPY GRADED 9.4 SIGNATURE SERIES IS CURRENTLY ON EBAY @ $1500 OFFER, PERFECT EXAMPLE OF ANOTHER STUPID ASS SELLER TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE UNINFORMED BUYERS. NO WAY IS THAT ASKING PRICE CLOSE TO ITS ACTUAL VALUE. A 1976 SAFEGUARD 9.4 CGC GRADED IS $100 AT BEST...SIGNED MAYBE $300 "TOPS". & NOT WORTH THE $1500 ASKING PRICE. THE TWO ISSUES FROM 1976 ARE THE TWO YEARS MOST EVERY SELLER IS ALWAYS OVERPRICED.. 		View Comic
1976 ACTION COMICS #1 SUPERMAN REPRINT 9.8 FREE SAFEGUARD ISSUE. WITH TOP CUT PROPERLY. Action Comics 1 Universal 9.8 SECOND COPY OF THE 1976 FREE SAFEGUARD ISSUE. BEAUTIFUL COMIC / WELL PRINTED / WELL PRESERVED VIBRANT COLORS & REVERSE HAS ALL OF THE WRITING OF "SAFEGUARD" NOT CUT CLOSE LIKE FIRST COPY. BOTH EXAMPLES SHOWING THE DIFFERENCE OF PRINTING FOR THIS YEAR. YOU CAN ALSO SEE THIS COPY HAS LESS OF THE MANS BODY SHOWING BOTTOM LEFT CORNER THAN THE FIRST COPY CUT CLOSE. OVERPAID FOR THIS ONE TO SECURE IT FOR THE SET, PRICES NOW DROPPING. AS OF 10 -15 - 2016. THERE ARE 55 COPIES OF THIS 1976 FREE SAFEGUARD ISSUE GRADED 9.8 BY CGC. THE 10c COVER IS MUCH MORE SCARCE WITH ONLY 33 9.8 COPIES. THIS COMIC 40 YEARS OLD HIGH GRADE of 9.8 AND STILL MORE COPIES KEEP BEING FOUND SENT INTO CGC AND GRADE 9.8 THE POP #s KEEP GOING UP. MOST SELLERS ARE CLUELESS ON ACTUAL REAL VALUES & THEIR PRICES ARE WAY OUT OF LINE FOR BOTH COMICS FROM 1976 THE SUPERMAN REPRINT. THERE CURRENTLY IS A COPY ON E-BAY THAT BID TO $274 SOLD WITH A $13 SHIPPING FEE. THIS IS MUCH MORE IN LINE TO ACTUAL VALVE. WHEN COMICS DONT HAVE RESERVES ON THEM 99% OF THE TIME THEY SELL FOR WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY WORTH NOT SUFFERING THE STUPID ASS SELLERS ASKING PRICE SYNDROME. WHEN WILL E-BAY SELLERS REALIZE THEIR PRICES OVER $799 + IS STUPIDLY RIDICULOUS. View Comic
1976 Action Comics #1 SUPERMAN Reprint 9.8 10c Sleeping Bag Reverse Cover Issue. RARER OF TWO 1976 ISSUES PRINTED. Action Comics 1 Modern 9.8 1976 10c Action Comics #1 Reprint / with the Sleeping Bag on Reverse. This reprint is 99% of the time always overpriced by all sellers. Asking prices start at $795+for graded and ungraded issues. I waited for a long time to find this sleeping bag issue reasonably priced. Sellers are clueless about its "true" value. These 1976 comics are not worth those high asking prices. Its a key comic to this set. Persistence paid off waiting for the right one and have only seen one other that was semi-close to what I paid for this one since buying it. CGC pop was 33 last time checked....not rare but a scarce issue...difficult to find under a $700 asking price..

1 / 30 / 2018 there are 85 total CGC graded copies of this 1976 Sleeping Bag issue comic, not many have been graded 9.8 since 2015.

UPDATE 2 / 24 / 2019

Damn made an error last update of 1 / 30 /2018, looks like when I entered the total quantity of the CGC 9.8s I used the Safeguard pop census #s at that time which was 85 total 9.8s. Those are now 111, so that has increased by 26 comics, whereas the 10c issued price with sleeping bag reverse is @ 42. So not positive how many more 9.8s in just over a year have been graded 9.8. I am sure it is very few if any. Wish I would have entered the correct amount. Still, 42 copies since CGC has been encapsulating comics is a very low quantity. Not 100% positive but I remember there being 35 9.8s about 3 - 4 years ago. The Safeguard issue CGC pop census has over twice as many grading 9.8. This sleeping bag comic prices are still @ $795 + on the low side with most sellers asking over $1000 each. Right now there is a 9.8 sleeping bag issue 2 / 24 / 2019 that is on eBay for $485. Very reasonable IMO, it was listed about 4 weeks ago @ $600 with no sale, then lowered to $550, also a no sale now is at $485. Has 29 days to go in the auction, I would be surprised if it still is a no sale at the end of the auction. Thinking of making the purchase myself for an additional copy for this set, buy low $$$ available makes that decision iffy. Hard to pass this one up...these do just not come up at these lower prices and I have been looking for years. Crazy but thinking of justifying the addition to the set using the old case for this copy and new case if I decide to buy the one now listed on eBAY. 		View Comic
1976 ACTION COMICS REPRINT #1 SUPERMAN 6.0 10c ERROR SLEEPING BAG ISSUE. Action Comics 1 Modern 6.0 1976 ACTION COMICS #1 SUPERMAN REPRINT 10c COVER PRICE "PRINTING ERROR" WITH TWO COMICS STAPLED TOGETHER AT THE BINDING SEAM. THIS TYPE OF ERROR IS RARE, SURPRISING IT HAS SURVIVED INTACT OVER 40+ YEARS NOT BEING SEPARATED. THE SLEEPING BAG COMIC IS ALSO THE RARER OF THE TWO COMICS PRINTED IN 1976. THE SAFEGUARD FREE ISSUE IS MUCH MORE COMMON THAN THE 10C ISSUE. DIFFICULT TO TELL BUT THIS IS MOST LIKELY THE ONLY 1976 WITH TWO COMICS STAPLED TOGETHER STILL INTACT. CGC LUMPS ALL THE COMICS TOGETHER IN THE CENSUS, THIS COPY WAS FOR SALE UNGRADED ON E-BAY DIDN'T OCCUR TO ME AT THE TIME TO HAVE IT GRADED. SOMEONE SENT IT TO CGC & RELISTED AS A RARE COMIC MONTHS LATER, BUT WAY OVER PRICED, SELLER WAS ASKING $1500. WEEK BY WEEK THE SELLER KEPT LOWERING THE PRICE TO WHERE IT WAS REASONABLY PRICED @ $150.I WAS HAPPY IT WAS LISTED AGAIN BECAUSE IT WAS A RARE FIND. ONLY GRADES 6.0 BUT AN ERROR WITH TWO COMICS STILL STAPLED TOGETHER FROM THE MANUFACTURER IS TRULY A FANTASTIC FIND & ADDS TO THE UNIQUENESS OF THIS SET. PRICE CONTINUALLY DROPPED / A RARE ERROR / OF A SCARCE ISSUE / PERFECT ADDITION TO THIS SUPERMAN REPRINT SET. View Comic
1983 ACTION COMICS #1 SUPERMAN 9.8 REPRINT. RARE COMIC Action Comics 1 Modern 9.8 1983 ACTION COMICS # 1 SUPERMAN REPRINT 10c ISSUE COVER PRICE. UNBELIEVABLE FOR A RECENT ISSUED COMIC HOW RARE 1983 IN THIS SERIES & 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 REPRINT FOR THIS SET. BEAUTIFUL COPY AND RARE CONSIDERING ALL FACTS 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 / EASY WAY TO TELL IT IS NOT 1983 BUT ACTUALLY A 1987 COMIC BECAUSE THE NESTLE BUNNY WAS ONLY USED IN 1987. THAT MISS HOLDER-ED 1987 / 1983 COMIC IS IN THIS SET.

THIS SPECIFIC COMIC WAS LISTED ON E-BAY WITH THE ASKING PRICE AS OF $699 / OFFER ( 1 / 16 / 2017). SELLER ACCEPTED OFFER...ASKING PRICE WAS ON THE HIGH SIDE AS MOST THE SUPERMAN REPRINTS STILL SUFFER SELLERS 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 OVERPRICED. ONE OF THE 9.8 COPIES MISS LABELED ACTUALLY IS 1987 COMIC. YOU CAN SEE 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.

12 / 10 / 2018,

ANOTHER COPY HAS BEEN GRADED 9.8 IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN BUT THE CGC CENSUS FOR 9.8 COPIES NOW IS 7. UPDATE 2 / 8 / 19 THE CENSUS NOW READS 6 AGAIN, NO IDEA WHY IT WAS REMOVED, MAYBE THE NEW OWNER SAW IT WAS 1987 LIKE THE ONE I BOUGHT FOR THIS SET? MAYBE CGC MADE ANOTHER MISTAKE AND CORRECTED IT. RIGHT NOW 12 / 10 / 2018, ANOTHER COPY IS ON EBAY THAT COULD BE THIS NEWEST ONE TO GRADE 9.8. WITH THE CENSUS BEING CHANGED IT CANT BE THE ONE LISTED @ $1499.00 BEST OFFER. AGAIN DUMB ASS SELLERS WITH STUPID ASS ASKING PRICES.
EVEN WITH THIS YEAR BEING SO DIFFICULT TO FIND IN HIGH GRADE AND IT IS RARE, THE $1499 PRICE IS RIDICULOUS. INTERESTING ALSO ABOUT 8 - 10 MONTHS AGO ANOTHER COPY WAS LISTED ON EBAY @$799, NOW ANOTHER LISTED @ $1499. ITS A POSSIBILITY THIS COPY WAS BOUGHT BY THE NEW SELLER WHEN LISTED @ $799 / THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD / WOULD MAKE A HEFTY PROFIT AND RELISTED IT @ $1499 ITS AN OPINION CANT VERIFY NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO THE CERT # WHEN LISTED FOR $799. $1499 won't EVER HAPPEN, I PASSED ON THE $799 PRICE WHEN FOR SALE AND STILL THINK EVEN WITH THE RARIETY ITS $600 TOPS, $800 TO SOMEONE THAT HAS TO HAVE IT.

UPDATE 2 / 21 / 2019

ANOTHER 1983 HAS BEEN GRADED BY CGC, THE POP CENSUS NOW READS 7 9.8 COPIES. THE NEWLY GRADED COPY IS LISTED ON EBAY FOR $499 OFFER W/ FREE SHIPPING. THAT IS ACTUALLY A VERY REASONABLE PRICE. I SHOULD JUMP ON IT TO ADD IT TO THIS SET. FUNDS ARE TIGHT SO THE PURCHASE IS BAD TIMING. TO RESELL IT THERE IS JUST NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO MAKE MUCH OF A PROFIT. LISTING FEES @ 17% CUT INTO THE RESELLING, SO ITS A MATTER OF HAVING ANOTHER COPY FOR THE SET. DIFFICULT DECISION KNOWING HOW RARE THEY ARE AND SHORT OR $$$$. THE TOTAL IS NOW 7 9.8s and 5 9.6s 12 TOTAL 9.6 & HIGHER. 7 9.8s WOULD BE COOL OWNING 3 OF THE 7. WITH THE ONE MISGRADED COPY IN THIS SET, THAT MEANS THERE ARE REALLY ONLY 6 ACTUAL CGC COPIES @ THE 9.8 LEVEL OR 4 TOTAL. VERY LOW # AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR A 1983 COPY.

SEARCHING THROUGH EBAY STUMBLED ACROSS THIS 1983 REPRINT AND ACTUALLY WAS A BIT SURPRISED WHEN I FOUND IT FOR SALE. WASNT REALLY LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CGC 9.8 COPY BECAUSE ALL THAT ARE FOR SALE ARE ALWAYS OVERPRICED. HAD TO LOOK TWICE TO MAKE SURE IT REALLY WAS 1983. CLICKED ON THE IMAGE AND SURE ENOUGH, IT WAS A REAL 1983. THIS YEAR IS THE RAREST REPRINT OF THE ENTIRE SERIES OF ACTION COMICS # REPRINTS. IT IS ALSO THE "SEVENTH" COPY CGC HAS GRADED TOTAL AND WAS RECENTLY SLABBED. ONE POPPED UP ON THE CENSUS AND A FEW DAYS LATER REMOVED THEN ADDED AGAIN. IM 100% CERTAIN THIS IS # 7.

ADDING ANOTHER 9.8 COPY WOULD BE WORTH IT IF THE PRICE WAS RIGHT. AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT DECIDED TO GO FOR IT WITH A LOWER OFFER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. LOOKED OVER THE SELLERS OTHER LISTINGS AND COMPLETED LISTINGS AND AGAIN SURPRISED NOT A TRUE COMIC BOOKSELLER. HAD ALL KINDS OF OTHER LISTINGS AND FEW COMICS. THAT WAS A HUGE PLUS COMICS WERE NOT THE MAIN LINE OF SALES. THOUGHT FOR SURE THEY DIDNT KNOW HOW RARE THIS COMIC ACTUALLY IS. BINGO! OFFER IMMEDIATELY ACCEPTED! THIS DAY JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER. ONE OF SEVEN COPIES KNEW YEARS AGO THERE WOULD NOT BE MANY MORE GRADED...100% CORRECT ON THAT PREDICTION. ONLY TWO 9.8s GRADED IN TWO YEARS.

HIGHLY UNLIKELY THERE WILL BE MANY IF ANY MORE GRADING 9.6 AND HIGHER OF THIS 1983 REPRINT ISSUE. FOUR COPIES GRADED 9.8 IS RARE. 1983 9.8 COPIES ARE ONE OF THE RAREST LOW QUANTITIES GRADED IN THIS ENTIRE SET. AS OF 12 / 31 / 2016 TWO MORE COPIES WERE GRADED OF THE 1983 REPRINT, ONE GRADED 9.8, ONE GRADED 9.6. I DONT THINK THE CGC WILL INCREASE MUCH BECAUSE OF THE RARITY OF THESE 1983 COMICS.

1987 ACTION COMICS #1 SUPERMAN REPRINT 9.8 10C ISSUE. Action Comics 1 Modern 9.8 VERY NICE CGC 9.8 HIGH-GRADE EXAMPLE OF THE 1987 SUPERMAN # 1 REPRINT. 1987s ARE NOT EASY TO FIND IN HIGH-GRADE BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY 11 COPIES GRADING 9.8. THAT NUMBER WOULD ACTUALLY INCREASE BECAUSE THERE ARE 2 MORE 1987 9.8 ISSUES IN THIS SET THAT ARE MISLABELED ON THE HOLDER, A 1983 AND 1988. THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE I SENT TO CGC AND WAS ONE OF THE COMICS THAT STARTED ME LOOKING FOR THE VARIANTS, SWIPES, & HOMAGE COVERS BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST COMIC I SENT TO CGC THAT RECEIVED A 9.8 GRADE.

THE 1987 ISSUE IS OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR THE 1983 BECAUSE THEY LOOK SO MUCH ALIKE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE REVERSE IMAGES. 1983 PEANUT BUTTER SUPERMAN REVERSE 1997 NESTLE QUICK BUNNY. THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE IS A 10c COVER PRICE I HAVE HEARD NUMEROUS TIMES OF A 50c 1987 COVER PRICE BUT NEVER HAVE SEEN ONE HONESTLY DONT THINK IT EXISTS AND IS MISTAKEN INFORMATION.

THERE IS ONLY ONE 1987 CGC GRADED 9.8 AS A SIGNATURE SERIES ON THE CENSUS. KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR THAT COMIC IF IT EVER POPS UP FOR SALE. FEW 1987 COPIES ARE EVER FOR SALE ASKING PRICES ARE USUALLY IN THE $250+ RANGE. UNGRADED COMICS HAVE ALSO BECOME MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND AS MORE TIME GOES BY COLLECTORS ARE BUYING UP THE NICE ONES..

1988 ACTION COMICS #1 Superman 9.8 actually is a 1987 mislabeled comic. 1987 LABELED 1988 ON HOLDER. Action Comics 1 Modern 9.8 1987 #1 Superman Action Comic reprint 9.8 mislabeled 1988 on the holder. Another comic with incorrect information and wrong comic not matching what the holder reads.1987 comic mislabeled as printed in 1988 but no 10c 1988 comics were printed with 10c cover price, they were only printed with 50c. 1987 Nestle Quick Bunny reverse, 1988 comics started being printing with glossy paper not the newspaper printing as earlier issues like this 1987 reprint. Another unusual comic for this 9.8 reprints/variant set. This comic printed in 1987 & as of 4/1/ 2016, there are only 12 copies graded by CGC making this a very scarce comic. This comic may be 1 of 1 the only 1988 mislabeled with a 9.8 mixed in with the 1988 census #s. Total 1987 CGC Superman #1 Reprints of this issue is now 13. View Comic
1988 ACTION COMICS REPRINT 9.8 50C ISSUE. 50 YEAR ANNIVERSARY COPY. YEAR WITH MOST 9.8s GRADED. Action Comics 1 Modern 9.8 1988 SUPERMAN FIFTY YEAR ANNIVERSARY ISSUE...THIS COMIC HAS 192 COPIES GRADED 9.8 MORE THAN MOST ALL OTHER YEARS COMBINED. ( est that # of copies was around 4 - 1 - 20160. SIX COPIES ALONE HAVE GRADED 9.8 IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. (as of 10 - 7 - 2016 there are 220). PRICES OF THIS ISSUE ARE ALL OVER THE BOARD RANGING FROM $125 + SHIPPING TO $400 +. PERSONALLY THINK ITS WORTH $80 SHIPPING INC. NO PROBLEM FINDING 9.8 GRADED COPIES OF THIS YEAR. MANY COPIES ARE "WAY" OVER WHAT THESE COMICS ARE WORTH. SEEING SELLERS WITH THE ASKING PRICE OF $299 + FOR THIS ISSUE DRIVES ME NUTS! ITS TRULY ONLY WORTH $75 TOPS. "GET A GRIP PEOPLE QUIT TRYING TO SCREW EVERYONE". AS OF TODAY 9 -18 - 2016 THERE ARE ONLY TWO COPIES GRADED 9.9. ONE OF THOSE TWO IS IN AN E-BAY AUCTION CLOSING IN TWO DAYS. THE PRICE IS CURRENTLY @ $792.NOT SURE AT THIS POINT IF I WILL BID TO WIN OR LET THAT ONE SLIDE BY. JUST CHECKED THE PRICE LITERALLY FIVE MINUTES AGO PRICE BID UP TO $820 NOW. IT WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO THIS SET, BUT NOT POSITIVE IT WOULD BE A GOOD INVESTMENT AS THIS IS THE ONE YEAR IN THE REPRINT SERIES THAT HAS THE MOST COPIES GRADED 9.8. IT IS THE ONE YEAR MOST LIKELY TO HAVE A 9.8s GRADED, AND AT CURRENT VALUES OF THE 1988 YEAR, WORTH ABOUT $110 SHIPPED, THE 9.9 MAY NOT BE WORTH SUCH A HUGE PREMIUM FOR THAT TENTH OF A GRADING POINT. WILL SEE IF I ENTER THE BIDDING RACE UNCERTAIN AT THIS POINT JUST DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE EVEN THOUGH IT IS ONE OF TWO COPIES GRADED 9.9. NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE UNTRAINED EYE TO SEE ANY DIFFERENCE TO JUSTIFY THE PRICE DIFFERENCE. THE COPY OF THE 9.9 SOLD FOR $1231 MIXED EMOTIONS IF UNDER PRICED OR OVER PRICED / UNCERTAIN IF IT A GOOD OR BAD INVESTMENT. HAVE BOUGHT LOW CGC POP COMICS FOR MUCH LESS WITH LOW POPULATION NUMBERS. THIS WOULD BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE PURCHASE FOR A LOW QUANTITY GRADED. ONE OF THE EASY WAYS TO TELL THIS REPRINT FROM OTHER REPRINTS IS THE GARBAGE CAN ON THE COVER BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. MOST REPRINTS HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK FOR THAT GIVE CLUES TO THE YEAR IT WAS PRINTED. THE GARBAGE CAN ON THIS ONE MAKES IT EASY TO SPOT ITS THE 1988 FIFTY YEAR ANNIVERSARY ISSUE. THIS YEAR ALSO HAS COPIES SOLD AS A DIRECT ISSUE WITH A BAR CODE IN PLACE OF THE GARBAGE CAN. THAT ISSUE IS MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND IN HIGH GRADE FEWER PRINTED AND DIFFICULT FINDING CGC GRADED COPIES FOR SALE. HAD THE OPPORTUNITY BUY ONE OF THE 9.8 BAR CODE COPIES FOR $110 + SHIPPING AND LITERALLY OVER THOUGHT IT AND IT SOLD...THAT WAS A GOOD DEAL NOT MANY CGC COPIES, MISSED A GOOD COPY FOR THIS RARE SET. 1988 WAS THE FIRST YEAR THE COVERS WERE PRINTED WITH A GLOSSY STOCK PAPER ON THE FRONT COVER. THE 1974 WAS AN OVER SIZED EDITION WITH A LARGE GLOSSY OUTER COVER. THE 2 1976 ISSUES, THE 1983, AND THE 1987 COVERS WERE ALL PRINTED IN THE NEWSPAPER PAPER ON THE FRONT COVERS. NO ISSUES AFTER 1987 HAVE BEEN PRINTED WITH THE NEWSPAPER THAT IS ONE WAY TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOME OF THE EARLY REPRINTS OF THIS ACTION COMICS #1 SUPERMAN REPRINT. 1988 ANNIVERSARY ISSUE HAS 220 9.8s GRADED WITH A HUGE POSSIBILITY OF MORE 9.8s COULD BE GRADED IN THE FUTURE A BIG REASON PASSED ON THE 9.9 ON E-BAY. IF IT WAS A DIFFERENT YEAR 100% PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BID TO WIN. SO EVEN THOUGH THE 9.9 WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT ADDITION TO THIS SET NO BIG DEAL MISSED THAT COMIC FOR THE SELLING PRICE OF $1231 NOT ADDED TO THIS SET. View Comic
1988 ACTION COMICS REPRINT W/BAR CODE DIRECT SALES EDITION 9.8. Action Comics 1 Modern 9.8 1988 ACTION COMICS #1 SUPERMAN REPRINT DIRECT SALES EDITION 9.8. THIS IS ANOTHER INTERESTING ISSUE IN THIS REPRINT SERIES. 1988 IS THE ONE YEAR OF REPRINTS THAT HAS THE MOST COPIES ON THE CGC CENSUS. THERE WERE TWO COPIES PRINTED THIS YEAR ONE WITH A GARBAGE CAN WITH THE 50 YEAR LOGO BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, THE OTHER A DIRECT SALES EDITION WITH A BAR CODE IN PLACE OF THE GARBAGE CAN. FEWER COPIES OF THIS ISSUE WERE PRINTED THUS THE REASON FEW TO BE FOUND.

THE ONLY WAY TO GET THESE COPIES WAS AT NEWSTANDS, OR STORES SELLING MAGAZINES. BECAUSE THE DIRECT SALES, SALES HAD FALLEN OFF SO DRASTICALLY FOR THE COMIC BOOK COMPANIES THEY REDUCED THE QUANTITIES AVAILABLE FOR DIRECT SALES IN MANY CASES BY 90%, AND JUST NOT MANY WERE PRINTED. BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY WERE HANDLED THAT REDUCED MANY SURVIVING IN HIGH GRADE. THERE IS NO PROBLEM FINDING A 1988 REGULAR SALES EDITION IN HIGH GRADE OF 9.8. VERY EASY TO FIND. BUT THESE DIRECT SALES COPIES ARE A HORSE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR.

I HAVE LITERALLY LOOKED FOR YEARS AND MADE THE MISTAKE EARLY ON NOT BUYING A 9.8 COPY WHEN IT WAS FOR SALE ON EBAY FOR $110 + SHIPPING. IM ALMOST 100% POSITIVE THAT 9.8 COPY IS HIGHLY LIKELY ONE OF VERY FEW 9.8 CGC GRADED. NO WAY TO BE CERTAIN BECAUSE CGC LUMPS THE TWO YEARS TOGETHER, AND IT IS ONE OF TWO COPIES I HAVE EVER SEEN. DOSENT MEAN ITS THE ONLY ONE, BUT JUST FEELING I HAVE IT IS ONE OF A FEW. I MISSED THE CHANCE TO ADD THAT COMIC TO THIS UNIQUE COLLECTION, WILL JUMP ON ANY COPY IF I EVER SEE A 9.8 AGAIN. WITH LUCK ANOTHER 9.8 BARCODED COPY WAS FOUND 10/24/2017.

THIS 9.8 COPY IS THE ONLY OTHER 9.8 DIRECT SALES EDITION I HAVE EVER SEEN, PURCHASE WAS MADE IMMEDIATELY WHEN SEEN. A 9.6 COPY HAS BEEN FOR SALE FOR MONTHS AND I PASSED BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS OVERPRICED. IT WAS PROBABLY ONLY ONE OF A FEW 9.6 CGC GRADED COPIES. THEY JUST DONT COME UP OFTEN. PRICE WAS MORE THAN WANTED TO PAY BUT NOT COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE, AND A COPY NEEDED FOR THIS SET. SO PURCHASED THE 9.6 ONLY LITERALLY TO FIND THIS 9.8 10 DAYS LATER. BUT STILL THE CHANCE IT COULD BE ONE OF LESS THAN 5 DECIDED TO ADD IT TO THIS COLLECTION, EVEN THOUGH NOT MY COVETED 9.8 GRADE.

STILL, A VERY DIFFICULT COMIC TO FIND, MORE SO IN HIGH GRADE, IS A SLEEPER IN THIS SET AS THE 1988 CGC CENSUS MAY CONFUSE MANY THAT DONT KNOW ABOUT THE DIRECT SALES EDITION MADE IN MUCH FEWER QUANTITIES.

UPDATE 3 / 1 /2019

FOUND TWO MORE COPIES FOR SALE OF THIS BARCODE ISSUE ONE SOLD A WEEK AGO FOR A BIN PRICE OF $134.99 + $13 SHIPPING, THOUGHT THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT DEAL. THE CERT # FROM THAT SPECIFIC COMIC IS #1272472002. THE SAME SELLER FROM NEW YORK JUST LISTED ANOTHER CERT # 2014942001 FOR $199.99 + $13 SHIPPING, STILL NOT A BAD PRICE FOR A RARER ISSUE IN HIGH GRADE. I CAN CONFIRM 4 TOTAL I KNOW OF, UNSURE OF HOW MANY MORE THERE ARE BUT STILL FEEL IT IS PROBABLY LESS THAN 10, MAYBE 15 ON THE HIGH SIDE ESTIMATE BUT CAN BE CERTAIN.

THE ONLY WAY TO GET THESE COPIES WAS AT NEWSTANDS. BECAUSE DIRECT SALES HAD FALLEN OFF SO DRASTICALLY DC COMICS REDUCED QUANTITIES AVAILABLE BY 90%. BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY WERE HANDLED THAT REDUCED MANY SURVIVING IN HIGH GRADE. NO PROBLEM FINDING A 1988 REGULAR EDITION IN HIGH GRADE OF 9.8, BUT THESE DIRECT SALES COPIES ARE A HORSE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR.

I HAVE LITERALLY LOOKED FOR YEARS AND MADE THE MISTAKE EARLY ON NOT BUYING A 9.8 COPY WHEN IT WAS FOR SALE ON EBAY FOR $110 + SHIPPING. IM ALMOST 100% POSITIVE THAT 9.8 COPY IS HIGHLY LIKELY ONE OF ONLY TWO 9.8 CGC GRADED COPIES. NO WAY TO BE CERTAIN BECAUSE of CGC LUMPS THE TWO YEARS TOGETHER, BUT IT IS THE ONLY COPY I HAVE SEEN. ANOTHER 9.8 COPY SHOWED UP PURCHASED THAT ONE IMMEDIATELY. I FEEL THE EST AT THAT TIME 2 COPIES TOTAL WAS CORRECT. I MISSED THE CHANCE TO ADD THAT COMIC TO THIS SET, WILL JUMP ON ANY COPY IF I EVER SEE A 9.8 AGAIN, AND DID TODAY. 10 / 24 / 2017.

THIS 9.6 COPY IS THE ONLY 9.6 DIRECT SALES EDITION I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT WAS FOR SALE FOR MONTHS AND I PASSED THOUGHT THE ASKING PRICE WAS TOO HIGH. IN REALITY, PROBABLY ONLY ONE OF A FEW 9.6 CGC GRADED DIRECT SALES COPIES. THEY JUST DONT COME UP OFTEN. PRICE WAS MORE THAN WANTED TO PAY NOT COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE, AND A COPY NEEDED FOR THIS SET. WITH THE CHANCE IT COULD BE ONE OF LESS THAN 5 DECIDED TO ADD IT TO THIS COLLECTION, EVEN THOUGH NOT MY COVETED 9.8 GRADE.

STILL, 9.6 1988 DIRECT SALES EDITION IS A VERY DIFFICULT COMIC TO FIND, MORE SO IN HIGH GRADE, IT IS A SLEEPER IN THIS SET. THE CGC CENSUS MAY CONFUSE MANY THAT DONT KNOW ABOUT THE DIRECT SALES EDITION MADE IN MUCH FEWER QUANTITIES. SO EVEN AFTER FINDING A 9.8 COPY AFTER LOOKING FOR ONE FOR A LONG TIME, ONLY SEEING ONE OTHER 9.6 DECIDED TO KEEP THIS 9.6 IN THIS SET. IT IS ALSO AN AMAZING EXAMPLE SHOWING ALL THE BOLD VIVID COLORS OF A FIRST PRINTING. AFTER COMICS ARE PRINTED THE INK IS NOT AS STRONG AND FADES A BIT, THE COLORS ON THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE ARE TRULY OUTSTANDING! BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE AND IT REALLY SHOWS WHEN HELD NEXT TO ANY OTHER COMIC ESPECIALLY ACTION COMICS # 1 REPRINTS.

2 / 24 / 2019

A 9.8 1988 BARCODE ISSUE SHOWED UP ON eBAY JUST ABOUT A WEEK AGO WITH AN ASKING PRICE OF $134.99 WITH FREE SHIPPING. KNOWING HOW RARE THESE ISSUE`S ARE WAS VERY DIFFICULT NOT BUYING THAT COMIC. SELLER OBVIOUSLY HAD NO IDEA HOW RARE IT REALLY WAS, KNEW IT WOULD NOT LAST MORE THAN A DAY MAYBE TWO AT BEST. KEPT GOING BACK AND FORTH ON BUYING IT BUT AGAIN BECAUSE OF HEALTH ISSUES AFFECTING THE $$$ FLOW HAD TO PASS. THAT COMIC SHOULD BE SELLING IN THE RANGE OF $300ish +. AS EXPECTED IT SOLD EARLY ON THE SECOND DAY, IM SURE NEW OWNER KNEW HE GOT A GREAT DEAL AND HAPPY SEEING A RARER COMIC AT A VERY REASONABLE PRICE. ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS SELLERS HAVE ON THESE REPRINTS IS BEING CLUELESS ON ACTUAL VALUES. 		View Comic
1991 ACTION COMICS 50c BLACK BOX REPRINT EDITION 9.4. Action Comics 1 Modern 9.4 ACTION COMICS 1991 50c BLACK BOX REPRINT EDITION 9.4. EVERY FEW YEARS DC ISSUED THESE REPRINTS KEEPING INTEREST IN THE #1 SUPERMAN FROM 1938, & PEOPLE KEPT BUYING THE NEW RELEASES. EACH REPRINT HAD A SLIGHT VARIATION FROM PREVIOUS YEARS MAKING IT EASIER TO DISTINGUISH FROM OTHER YEARS PRINTED. THIS 1991 IS NO EXCEPTION. THE PRICE IS IN A "BLACK BOX" WITH A RETAIL PRICE OF 50c. MANY OF THE REPRINTS NOT ONLY DID THE COLOR AND SIZE OF THE BOX CHANGE SO DID THE PRICE. EXAMPLE: THE 1988 ANNIVERSARY REPRINT HAD TWO COMICS PRINTED THAT YEAR, ONE WITH A 50c COVER, AND ONE WITH A $1 COVER.

THE 1988 50c COVER WAS PRINTED WITH A WHITE BOX, WHEREAS THE $1 COVER WAS PRINTED WITH A BLACK BOX. THE $1 COVER HAD A GARBAGE CAN LOWER LEFT CORNER, WHERE THE 50c WHITE PRICED BOX COVER HAD A BARCODE IN PLACE OF THE GARBAGE CAN AND WAS A DIRECT SALES EDITION, SOLD ON NEWSSTANDS. THE DIRECT SALES EDITIONS ARE MUCH RARER IN HIGH GRADE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY WERE HANDLED, AND FEWER COMICS PRINTED.

THIS YEAR OF 1991 THERE ARE ONLY FIVE GRADED COPIES ON THE CGC CENSUS,
ONE GRADED 3.5,
ONE GRADED 6.5,
ONE GRADED 9.0,
ONE GRADED 9.2,
AND THIS HIGHEST GRADED COPY 9.4.

UPDATE TO THE ABOVE INFORMATION, NOT SURE OF DATE BUT PROBABLY WRITTEN IN 2016ish, THERE SINCE HAVE BEEN THREE MORE COPIES GRADED...1 GRADING 9.8,& 2 GRADING 9.6. TODAY IS 9/20/2018 & I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OF THOSE FOR SALE ON EBAY. MOST GOOD FINDS USUALLY END UP BEING LISTED THERE. WILL BE KEEPING A CLOSE LOOK OUT FOR ALL THREE OF THOSE COMICS WITH HIGH HOPES OF ANY OF THEM POPING UP FOR SALE. THEY ARE NOW CONSIDERED RARE GRADING THAT HIGH FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE AND THE 9.8 IS NOW THE RAREST ACTION COMICS #1 REPRINT OF THE ENTIRE SERIES. NO IDEA IF THE NEW LUCKY OWNER HAS ANY IDEA OF HOW RARE THAT 9.8 COPY ACTUALLY IS. WITH 3 GRADING THAT HIGH, BIG POSSIBILITY ALL SENT IN BY THE SAME PERSON, REASON I THINK THIS BECAUSE ITS VERY UNUSUAL TO HAVE THREE GRADED RECENTLY AND ALL THREE ARE 9.6 AND HIGHER.

HUGE POSSIBILITY THE OWNER SAT ON THEM A LONG TIME WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIME TO GRADE THEM KNOWING THEY WERE PRISTINE COPIES &.IT PAID OFF. WITH SOME LUCK THEY WILL BE LISTED WITH A "REASONABLE" BUY IT NOW, OR IN A TRUE AUCTION OF HIGHEST BIDDER WINS. ALL THREE ARE NOW HIGH ON MY WANT LIST WITH HOPES ANY OF THE THREE IS LISTED FOR SALE AND NOT ENDING UP ON A SHELVE SOMEWHERE. FINGERS CROSSED I SEE ONE SOON...I ALSO BELIEVE THESE WERE GRADED IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS TO YEAR.

VERY DIFFICULT FINDING 1991 IN GOOD ENOUGH CONDITION TO BE GRADED. ALL 1991s SEEM TO HAVE PROBLEMATIC ISSUES THAT WOULD KEEP THEM FROM GRADING HIGHER THAN THIS 9.4. WILL UPGRADE IF EVER FINDING A PRISTINE COPY BUT THAT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY. 		View Comic

THIS YEAR CGC HAS GRADED 11 COMIC BOOKS TOTAL 9.8. THE PROBLEM IS THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT BOOKS PRINTED THIS YEAR A 10c ISSUE AND A $1 ISSUE BOTH ARE ADDED TOGETHER IN THE CGC CENSUS. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DIFFERENTIATE THE TWO COMICS GRADED BY PRICE. THIS IS ONE OF MAYBE THREE 1992 10c ISSUE GRADED 9.8. THE 10c ISSUE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN HIGH GRADE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FINDING 9.8. ALTHOUGH 11 ISSUES GRADED FEEL CERTAIN THIS IS ONE OF JUST A FEW WITH THIS ELUSIVE HIGH GRADE. FROM THAT FIRST WRITING THE CGC CENSUS FOR 9.8 COPIES HAS RISEN TO 22. UNCERTAIN HOW MANY MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE 10c ISSUES COPIES. TODAY'S DATE AFTER THE FIRST CENSUS 9 - 25 -2016. THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW MANY 10c ISSUES HAVE BEEN GRADED BUT HIGHLY LIKELY ONLY A FEW / PROBABLY LESS THAN THREE OR FOUR THIS MAY HAVE BEEN INCREASED BUT NO WAY TO TELL, BUT CERTAINLY MUCH LESS THAN THE $1 COPIES.

UPDATE 3 / 8 /2019

TWO AND A HALF YEARS FROM THE LAST UPDATE OF 9 / 25 / 2016, THERE ARE 25 COPIES GRADED 9.8 AND 26 COPIES "QUALIFIED" WITH A GREEN LABEL GRADING 9.8. THAT IS 29 COPIES MORE TOTAL THAT has BEEN GRADED 9.8. IM 100% CERTAIN THE QUALIFIED ISSUES ARE ALL SIGNED BY JERRY SIEGEL, AS 1992, AND 1993 ISSUED COMICS ARE THE TWO YEARS THESE COMICS WERE USED FOR THE 2000 NUMERCIALY EDITIONS SIGNED BY JERRY, CERTIFIED BY DYNAMIC FORCES. ONLY 3 OF THOSE COMICS GRADED WERE UNSIGNED IN THOSE 2 1/2 YEARS THE REST WERE ALL JERRY`S SIGNED COPIES. CGC STILL LUMPS THE TWO ISSUES $1 COMIC AND 10c COMIC TOGETHER IN THE CENSUS. IN THE LAST 5 YEARS I have SEEN ONLY ONE 9.8 10c COVER PRICE FOR SALE LISTED ON EBAY FOR $1000, NO IDEA IF SOLD OR NOT. ALSO, CERTAIN THERE IS PROBABLY LESS THAN 10 9.8 COMICS ARE THE 10c COVER ISSUED PRICE, I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THESE REPRINTS LITERALLY FOR YEARS AND THE 10c REPRINT IS VERY SCARCE GRADING 9.8, AND RARELY FOR SALE. HONESTLY THINK THE TOTAL 9.8s 10c COPIES IS 5ish TOPS. CANT PROVE THAT 100% BUT IN ALL THE YEARS OF SEARCHING IVE PERSONALLY SEEN THREE. WITH ALL OF THE 26 COMICS BEING GREEN LABELED CGC QUALIFIED COMICS FROM THE 51 9.8 COPIES IM ALSO 99.99% CERTAIN NONE OF THOSE ARE 10c COVERED PRICED COMICS. THAT LEAVES 25 9.8 COMICS WITH BOTH $1 AND 10c COVER PRICED LUMPED TOGETHER, AND OF THOSE 25 ONLY THREE GRADED SINCE 9 / 2016. I HAD SEEN MANY OF THOSE AND THE BULK WERE $1 COMICS. THESE 10c COMICS boarders ON BEING RARE/SCARCE COPIES. IF A 10c COPY EVER SURFACES SIGNED BY JERRY, IT WILL BE VERY RARE. 		View Comic

WAS DIFFICULT FINDING THIS COPY PAID MORE THAN WANTED TO BUT WAS THE ONLY COPY FOUND FOR SALE IN ALMOST 1 YEAR. NEEDED IT FOR THIS SET AND IS A GREAT LOOKING HIGH GRADE COMIC. SEEMS THAT OTHER OWNERS ARE HOLDING ON TO THEIR COPIES SO BIT THE BULLET ON THE PRICE TO SECURE IT FOR THIS SET.

OWN THE 1993 ISSUE SIGNED # 695 AND HAVE SEEN # 675 NUMBERED COPY DATED 1992. UNSURE WHY OR HOW THE TWO YEARS WERE MIXED TOGETHER BUT MAKES THE 1993 AND THE 1992 UNUSUAL BECAUSE TWO DIFFERENT YEARS AND NUMBER COPIES HAVE BOTH YEARS COMBINED / SIGNED. MOST OF THE COPIES OF THIS YEAR ARE SIGNED BY JERRY SIEGEL AND BRING A HUGE PREMIUM BECAUSE OF THAT SIGNATURE. SIGNED COPIES PRICE RANGE AVERAGE IS $2500 EA. THE SIGNED1993 IS MUCH MORE SCARCE THAN THE 1992 SIGNED COPIES AND IS RARE UNSIGNED FOR THE 1993 YEAR WITH ONLY 3 COPIES TOTAL GRADE BY CGC. LOOKS LIKE MANY COMICS WERE DEDICATED FOR THIS SIGNING AND ALMOST NONE SENT TO CGC UNSIGNED.

NOT AS MANY OF THOSE 2000 COMICS WERE 1993 GRADING 9.8s, THE BULK OF THE SIGNED COMICS ARE DATED 1992. BUT INTERESTING NOTE I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THOSE COMICS WITH LOW NUMERICAL #S MIXING IN THE TWO YEARS AS OPPOSED TO ALL OF THE 1993 COMICS RUNNING IN NUMERAL SEQUENCE. THAT TELLS US ALL OF THE COMICS WERE MIXED TOGETHER WHEN BEING SIGNED. THE TOTAL 1993 9.8S GRADED IS 18. 15 OF THOSE ARE CGC QUALIFIED. THE OTHER THREE ARE COMICS WITH NO SIGNATURE MAKING THE UNSIGNED COPIES MUCH RARER. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THE OTHER 2 UNSIGNED COMICS WITH THE ASKING PRICE OF $199 EACH FROM THE SAME PERSON. MONY WAS TIGHT AND I PASSED ON MAKING THOSE PURCHASES, NOW WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THOSE TWO COMICS IN THIS SET, BUT STILL VERY HAPPY FOUND ONE OF THE THREE.

1993 SIGNED OR UNSIGNED COMICS COULD BE FOUND GRADING 9.8, BUT HONESTLY FEEL HIGHLY UNLIKELY. I FOUND THIS COPY IN JAPAN & KNEW IT WOULD GRADE 9.8. VERY HAPPY AFTER SENDING TO CGC I WAS CORRECT. ASKING PRICES FOR THIS ISSUE IN 9.8 GRADE IS $2500 ON AVERAGE WHEN YOU CAN FIND A COPY. TRUE VALUE IS WHAT ONE IS WILLING TO PAY. REALISTICALLY I THINK ITS WORTH $1000 - $1500, IT`S NOT RARE BUT A VERY SCARCE YEAR, MADE BETTER BY BEING SIGNED BY JERRY SIEGAL. THE SECOND PICTURE IS THE COMIC BEFORE I SENT TO CGC FOR GRADING. TRULY WORTH THE GRADE GIVEN BECAUSE of ALMOST BEING A FLAWLESS COPY. AS CLOSE TO 9.9 OR 10 AS ONE COULD HOPE TO POSSIBLY FIND, MANY OTHER ISSUE`S SIGNED BY CREATOR JERRY SIEGEL ARE NOWHERE NEAR THE ASKING PRICES OF THIS 1938 # 1 SUPERMAN REPRINT ISSUE. BECAUSE THIS IS THE IMAGE OF THE VERY FIRST COVER PRINTED MANY SELLERS TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT FACT INFLATING THEIR ASKING PRICES AND ALWAYS ARE CLOSE TO 50% +++ FOR THAT REASON ALONE.

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.

ESTIMATED GUESS & NOT SURE BUT HIGH-GRADE COPIES MUST BE LESS THAN 5. THIS COPY IS SO CLOSE TO IMMACULATE TOO BAD ONLY A 9.6 A SMALL TEAR KEEPS IT FROM BEING A 9.8 & MUST BE THE REASON THE POST OFFICE DIDN'T STAMP IT. BUT THAT IS JUST A GUESS. PRETTY SURE THIS IS A ONE OF VERY FEW MISSING THE STAMP. VERY COOL ADDITION FOR THIS SET. IN YEARS OF LOOKING THIS IS THE ONLY COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN NOT HAVING THE USPS STAMP. 		View Comic
2000 ACTION COMICS REPRINT MILLENNIUM EDITION 9.8 ISSUE. Millennium Edition: Action Comics 1 Modern 9.8 VERY NICE HIGH GRADE COMIC ONLY 6 TOTAL GRADED SO FAR 9.8. PICTURE IS USED FROM ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS REPRINT. THE MILLENNIUM ISSUE WAS THE LAST OF THE REPRINTS WITH THE EXCEPTION ON AN ISSUE PRINTED IN 2004 THAT WAS A MINIATURE COMIC BOOK. HAVE SEEN IT ADVERTISED NEVER SEEN IT IN PERSON. PRICES FOR THE MINATURE 2004 ISSUE SEEM TO BE IN THE $150 RANGE. NOT MANY OF THEM OUT THERE EVEN OFFERED FOR SALE. UNSURE IF ANY CGC GRADED COPIES. POSSIBILITY OF MORE DOWN THE ROAD TO BE GRADED IN THE HIGH 9.8 GRADE IS DEFINITELY POSSIBLE FOR THE 2000 MILLENNIUM ISSUE. INTERESTING THOUGH IT IS ALSO ONE OF THE YEARS WITH MINOR PROBLEMS KEEPING THEM FROM GRADING 9.8. I SENT ONE COPY TO BE GRADED AND WAS OFF AS THAT COPY ONLY GRADED 8.O...THAT WAS A BIG SURPRISE MY EYE WAS SO FAR OFF IN WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD GRADE. View Comic
ACTION COMICS #1 GRIPO EDITORIAL VID, 1988 WITH NO STAPLES MEXICAN EDITION 8.5. Action Comics 1 Qualified 8.5 ACTION COMICS #1 GRIPO EDITORIAL VID, 1988 MEXICAN EDITION 8.5. 1988 MAKES THIS SPECIFIC COMIC THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF ACTION COMICS FIRST RELEASE OF THE ICONIC #1 ISSUE. THIS COMIC WAS ASSEMBLED WITH NO STAPLES TO HOLD IT TOGETHER AT THE BINDING SEAM. I HEARD THE REASON FOR THIS IS YOU COULD ONLY GET THE COMIC IN SECTIONS AND HAD TO ASSEMBLE IT OVER A FEW WEEKS AS EACH PART WAS RELEASED FINALLY MAKING A COMPLETE COPY. NEED TO FURTHER RESEARCH THAT INFORMATION NOT SURE IF IT IS ACCURATE, IF TRUE BECAUSE OF THE PROCESS TO MAKE THEM THERE ARE VERY FEW OF THESE COMICS AROUND DIFFICULT TO FIND INTACT, MADE EVEN MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE IT IS ALSO A FOREIGN MEXICAN EDITION. I HAVE ONLY SEEN TWO COPIES OF THIS EDITION IN MANY YEARS OF SEARCHING FOR VARIANT COVERS. View Comic

2016 LIVERPOOL DEPT STORE MEXICAN EDITION PRINTED IN SPANISH. 9.4. FIRST COPY PRINTED. Action Comics 1 Modern 9.4 2016 LIVERPOOL DEPT STORE MEXICAN EDITION PRINTED IN SPANISH / 9.4. IM NOT 100% THAT LIVERPOOL WAS THE DEPARTMENT STORE CHAIN USED INFORMATION FROM SELLER STILL NEED TO CONFIRM. THIS IS THE FIRST COPY CGC GRADED. AS OF 7 - 26 - 2017 THERE ARE ONLY 4 COPIES GRADED ALL ARE 9.4 COPIES. THIS CERT # ENDING 7001 IS THE LOWEST OF THE 4 NUMERICALLY & I HAVE SEEN ALL 4 OF THE OTHER COPIES. THERE CERT #S WERE 7002, 7003, 7004. THAT MAKES THIS THE FIRST COPY CGC GRADED. THESE COMICS WERE NOT HANDLED WELL CAME WITH FIVE OTHER COMICS IN A POLYBAG. PRINTED ON VERY THIN PAPER LIKELIHOOD FINDING BETTER COPIES WILL PROVE TO BE DIFFICULT. HIGHER ASKING PRICE BECAUSE ONLY SOLD IN MEXICO. $50+ FOR SINGLE ISSUE AND OR WITH THE OTHER 5 IN POLYBAG.

ALWAYS LOOKING FOR HIGH-GRADE ISSUES FOR THIS SET, THIS PARTICULAR COMIC COULD BE THE MOST DIFFICULT TO FIND IN HIGHER GRADES AS IT IS PLAGUED WITH ISSUES NOT WARRANTED FOR HIGH-GRADE COMICS. THIS COMIC WAS LISTED TWICE BEFORE MY PURCHASE, FIRST TIME SOLD FOR $40, SECOND TIME SOLD FOR $71. BOTH TIMES WERE BOUGHT BUY SHILL BIDDING FROM THE SELLER, THEN LISTED AGAIN WHEN I BOUGHT IT. IT WAS $20 LESS THAN THE MOST EXPENSIVE BID @$71, ONLY $10 MORE THAN THE LOWEST.

UNABLE TO FIND AN UNGRADED COPY LESS THAN $50, BECAUSE OF THE WAY THIS ISSUE WAS PRINTED DOUBT THEY WOULD GRADE HIGHER THAN THIS 9.4 COPY, HAVING IT ALREADY IN A CGC HOLDER IS A PLUS. WILL BE DIFFICULT FINDING A 9.8 COPY FOR NOW 9.4 IS ONE OF FOUR GRADED AND COULD BE THE HIGHEST GRADE THESE COMICS RECEIVE, 		View Comic
2017 LOOT CRATE EDITION 9.8. 2/17 VERY FIRST 9.8 GRADED. Action Comics 1 Modern 9.8 2017 9.8 LOOT CRATE EDITION. PAID TOP DOLLAR FOR THIS COMIC IT IS ONE OF THE FIRST THREE 9.8 COPIES. UNSURE IF OVERTIME THAT WILL ADD TO THE VALUE? WILL SEE. THIS COMIC WAS PRINTED ON LIGHTWEIGHT NEWSPAPER & HINDERS QUALITY. GOOD DECISION OR BAD $300? COMIC WAS LISTED AS A BUY IT NOW / BEST OFFER, WITH AN OFFER PENDING. HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE OFFER WAS. KNEW THERE MAY NOT BE MANY MORE CHANCES TO FIND ANOTHER 9.8. SO MADE THE PURCHASE TO LOCK IN THE COMIC.

THOUGHT PROCESS WAS IF MY OFFER WAS LOWER THAN THE FIRST I MAY LOSE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THIS COMIC, DIDNT WANT TO LOSE IT KNOWING ONLY THERE WERE ONLY THREE CGC 9.8 GRADED ISSUES. THEY CAME IN A SMALL BOX WITH PINS AND OTHER COLLECTIBLES THE PAPER WAS SO THIN, FINDING HIGH-GRADE COPIES COULD BE DIFFICULT. THE CGC CENSUS POPULATION OF THESE SPECIFIC ISSUES, AS OF 7 / 2 / 2017 IS (25) COPIES TOTAL GRADED, BASICALLY, 12 IN EVERY 100 HAS THE POTENTIAL OF BEING A 9.8. 12% FOR A COPY PRINTED ON SUCH THIN PAPER ACTUALLY IS A HIGH NUMBER, DOUBT THERE WILL ACTUALLY BE 5% PER 100 GRADED.

IT WAS A DIFFICULT DECISION PAYING TOP DOLLAR, THOUGHT WITH SOME LUCK FEW MORE WILL GRADE THIS HIGH. STILL A GREAT ADDITION TO THE SET.

12 / 23 / 2018 UPDATE, WHEN I FIRST LEARNED OF THIS ISSUE WAS LOOKED DAILY UNTIL FINDING THIS COPY ON EBAY. WHEN I BOUGHT IT THERE WERE ONLY 3 CGC GRADING 9.8. KNEW THERE WOULD BE PROBLEMS FINDING 9.8 COPIES BECAUSE OF THE PRINTING METHODS / PAPER QUALITY. SO I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST THREE CGC GRADED COPIES. PAID $300 HOPING NOT MANY MORE WOULD GRADE 9.8 BECAUSE OF PRINTING AND PAPER QUALITY. FEW DAYS AFTER BUYING THIS ONE THE CENSUS WAS UP TO FIVE. THE SHEER NUMBER OF QUANTITY PRINTED MADE FINDING 9.8s MUCH EASIER.

WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS A COUPLE has SOLD IN THE $65 - $75 RANGE, UP TO $15OISH AS OF 12/23/2018. ONLY A FEW HAVE SOLD AT THOSE LOW PRICES AND PRICES ARE ON THE RISE. THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE TO WAIT FOR A BETTER PRICE. THERE ARE NOW 143 / 9.8s, AND ONLY 4 SIGNATURE SERIES CGC GRADED COPIES, ONE 8.5, / ONE 9.0 / ONE 9.2 & ONE HIGHEST GRADED / 9.4. NO IDEA WHO SIGNED THE FOUR COMICS.

THIS SPECIFIC COMIC REMINDS ME OF THE TODD MCFARLANE SPAWN #228 SKETCH EDITION SIGNATURE SERIES, ALREADY HAD THE FIRST ONE GRADED, PAID $250 FOR THAT COPY DIDNT SEE A REASON TO BUY ANOTHER, TWO MORE BECAME AVAILABLE ON EBAY NOT LONG AFTER BUYING ONE I WATCHED THOSE TWO AUCTIONS CLOSE CLOSING @ $250 - $260ISH. HAD I KNOWN BETTER I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT BOTH OF THOSE COMICS BECAUSE AS OF 12 / 23 / 2018 THERE ARE ONLY 6 / 9.8s and 5 / 9.6 CGC GRADED COPIES. WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL TO OWN 3 OF THE 6 GRADED 9.8 COMICS. I ALSO OWN ONE OF THE 9.6 COPIES ITS THE ONLY ONE SIGNED BY STAN LEE. DEFINITELY COOL FOR THIS SET.

THIS COMIC IS A "BIT" OF WHAT IS GOING ON THESE DAYS IN THE COMPUTER INDUSTRY AS THE COVER IS AN HOMAGE TO COMPUTERS.

THE QUALITY OF THE MODERN COMICS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN OF MANY YEARS AGO GETTING 9.8s SOMETIMES SEEMS EASY, THAT IS UNTIL YOU CANT SEE THE COMIC IN PERSON AND THE DIFFICULTY RISES DRAMATICALLY.

GREAT TO FIND A COPY THEN SENDING TO CGC A GETTING THAT COVETED GRADE OF 9.8 SEEMS SO EASY, AND THEN SOMETIMES ITS JUST SO HARD TO DO. ANOTHER COPY THAT IS A PERFECT FIT.

CGC FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON WILL NOT ALLOW THESE COMICS IN THE REGISTRY SETS. THE CERTIFICATION NUMBER WON`T SHOW UP WITH THE ABILITY TO ADD IT TO ANY SET. I HAD TO USE A DIFFERENT CGC CERT # TO GET THIS IMAGE INTO THE SET. CGC CONFIRMED TO ME BY PHONE TODAY 7 / 20 / 2018 THAT CGC CERTIFIED ONLY 149 TOTAL OF THE 10,000 PRODUCED COMICS AS A "FIRST RELEASE" NOTED ON THE HOLDERS. OF that 149 104 OF THOSE COMICS ARE CGC GRADED GEM MINT 10. NOT A VERY LARGE NUMBER CONSIDERING HOW MANY WERE ORIGINALLY RELEASED. THERE WAS A TIME LIMIT CGC WOULD ALLOW COLLECTORS TO SEND IN COPIES OF THEIR COMICS TO BE GRADED TO GET THIS "FIRST RELEASE" PRINTED ON THE CGC IDENTIFICATION, NO MORE COPIES GOT THIS AFTER THAT DATE. NOT POSITIVE BUT THINK THAT ENDED IN JUNE OF 2018.

Quite a few 9.8 grades available for this issue...last count was 214 total 9.8 copies including Signature Series and comics with no signature like the one pictured. AS of9 - 25 - 2016 there are now 222 copies graded 9.8. 7 copies added since the first review best setimate of that being around a year ago. There is a direct issue comic with a bar code where the Spider man face is bottom left corner, different cover have not seen one graded by CGC yet. Unsure of how many if any of the 214 are 9.8 grades could be the direct issue. No way to tell the CGC census combines all the copies together. want the direct issue for this set as another variant. Signature Series have at 25 copies signed as of this writing. Included in this set are two other copies of this issue Signature Series...one signed by Stan Lee, the other signed by Stan Lee and Todd Mc Farlane. Makes this set a little more interesting with the different variables. Goal to have as many different Signature Series signed by different artists writers and story lines for each issue for each year. This 1988 Amazing Spider man #306 Signature Series could have a few more I haven't seen yet time will tell on finding different copies signed, many more may become available because this year seems to have many 9.8 graded copies.

AMAZING SPIDERMAN #306 MARVEL COMICS OCTOBER 1988 DIRECT SALES EDITION 9.8. Amazing Spider-Man 306 Modern 9.8 AMAZING SPIDERMAN #306 MARVEL COMICS OCTOBER 1988 DIRECT SALES EDITION 9.8. I LOOKED FOR FIVE YEARS TO FIND ONE OF THESE BARCODE ISSUES. THE BARCODE IS USED IN PLACE OF THE UPSIDE DOWN SPIDERMAN FACE IN LOWER LEFT CORNER WERE ONLY SOLD ON NEWSSTANDS & ON AVERAGE ARE ABOUT 10% MAXIMUM OF THE TOTAL COMICS PRODUCTION RUN. FOR EVERY 100 OF THE REGULAR ISSUE PRINTINGS THERE WERE ONLY 10 OF THESE DIRECT SALES ISSUES PRINTED.

THESE COMICS ARE SHOWING UP MORE IN THE MARKET BUT NOT IN HIGH GRADE AS LIKE THIS 9.8 COPY. IT IS ONE OF ABOUT 4 I HAVE SEEN IN THOSE FIVE YEARS OF SEARCHING. WHEN OFFERED ON E-BAY WITH A BUY IT NOW PRICE OF $160 I BOUGHT IT IMMEDIATELY. THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS NOT BAD CONSIDERING THERE ARE 214 CGC 9.8s OF THIS COMIC GRADED BY CGC WITH MANY OF THOSE COPIES SELLING IN THE $175 - $235 RANGE. CGC LUMPS BOTH OF THE EDITIONS TOGETHER IM POSITIVE THIS CONFUSES MOST PEOPLE AND THEY DO NOT REALIZE HOW RARE THESE ISSUES ARE IN HIGH GRADE.

IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL EXACTLY HOW MANY DIRECT SALES EDITIONS THERE ARE BECAUSE CGC COMBINES THE TWO PRINTINGS. THIS IS IN A NEWER HOLDER SO IT WAS RECENTLY GRADED AND FEEL THE SELLER DIDNT KNOW HOW RARE IT ACTUALLY IS & WHY I PAID THE ASKING PRICE. HONESTLY FEEL IT IS ONE OF VERY FEW 9.8 GRADED COPIES. THE DIRECT SALES EDITION POOR HANDLING CONDITIONS SOLD ON NEWSSTANDS MAIN REASON FEW WILL GRADE THIS HIGH. HONESTLY FEEL IT IS ONE OF MAYBE FIVE TOTAL GRADED THIS HIGH. COULD BE MORE BUT HIGHLY DOUBT THAT. ONE RECENTLY SOLD ON AN eBay AUCTION FOR $330, NOT SURE IF THERE WAS SHILL BIDDING OR TWO BUYERS THAT REALLY WANTED ONE OF THE FEW 9.8 COPIES. MAKES THE $160 I PAID SEEM LIKE A REAL BARGAIN NOW.

FROM SEARCHING FOR A COPY OF THIS ISSUE FOR SO LONG KNOW IT IS RARE, BUT DIFFICULT TO TELL HOW RARE. AS OF SEPT 2016 THERE WERE 196 TOTAL COPIES GRADED 9.8 OF THE REGULAR AND DIRECT SALES EDITION COMBINED. AS OF FEB 2018, THERE IS NOW 214 COPIES GRADED 9.8, 18 MORE IN 17 MONTHS. I FEEL THE TOTAL OF THESE ISSUES MAYBE 5 TOTAL 9.8 GRADED AND THINK THAT IS REAL CLOSE TO ACTUAL NUMBER. 		View Comic

PAID MORE THAN I WANTED TO FOR THIS COMIC ($525) BUT A MUCH BETTER PRICE THAN THE SELLER ORIGINALLY HAD IT LISTED FOR. IT WAS ON E-BAY FOR A LONG TIME AT $1499. (WAY OVERPRICED MUCH MORE THAN IT WAS WORTH). HAD MY EYE ON IT FOR JUST AS LONG CHECKING OFTEN TO SEE IF THE PRICE HAD BEEN LOWERED. NOT 100% POSITIVE BUT CLOSE TO 99% SURE IT IS THE ONLY COPY WITH ALL THREE SIGNATURES OF STAN LEE, TODD Mc FARLANE, AND DAVID MICHELINE.

UPDATE 2/13/2109;

HAVE SEEN OTHER COPIES OF THIS ISSUE WITH ALL THREE SIGNATURES OF STAN LEE, TODD McFARLANE & DAVID MICHELINE, I KNOW FOR A FACT THERE ARE AT LEAST FOUR OTHER COPIES TWO OF THEM WITH JUST THE THREE SIGNATURES AND TWO WITH FOUR SIGNATURES. ONE OF THOSE TWO SOLD FOR $784 SHIPPING INC HAD JOHN ROMITA SIGNATURE WITH LEE, MICHELINE, AND McFARLANE. I DONT REMEMBER THE SECOND COPY WHO`S SIGNATURE WAS ON THAT COPY WITH LEE, MICHELINE, AND McFARLANE. SAW IT FOR SALE, NEVER SAW IT SELL. THE OTHER TWO COPIES WITH THE THREE SIGNATURES ALSO HAD THE STAN LEE LOGO ON THE TOP RIGHT CGC HOLDER. THOSE TWO COPIES WERE FOR SALE FOR A LONG TIME WITH THE BUY IT NOW PRICE OF $1499 OFFER. ONE SOLD ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, THE SECOND IS CURRENTLY FOR SALE ON E-BAY (2/13/2019) HIGHEST BID WINS. THE BIDDING @$330 WITH 5 DAYS LEFT IN THE AUCTION, WILL BE INTERESTING SEEING THE FINAL SALES PRICE OF THAT SPECIFIC COPY. I ESTIMATE IT TO SELL AROUND $600, + OR - A FEW BUCKS. I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THE SIGNATURE SERIES AND NOW FEEL CONFIDENT THERE ARE MAYBE 5 TOTAL 9.8 COPIES WITH THREE OF MORE SIGNATURES. I CAN ACCOUNT FOR 5 POSITIVELY, THREE WITH 3 SIGNATURES, TWO WITH 4 SIGNATURES. MAYBE OTHERS? A GUESS AT BEST, HONESTLY THINK THE TOTAL IS 5. THE COPY WITH 4 SIGNATURES SELLING FOR $784 WAS SIGNED IN 2013 BY ALL FOUR CREATORS. WITH THE PASSING OF STAN LEE THOSE TWO COPIES WITH THE FOUR SIGNATURES IF TO BE SOLD AGAIN WILL BRING A HIGH $$$$ AMOUNT, FOUR GIANTS IN THE COMIC BOOK MARKET TODAY.

THIS ISSUE ALSO BRINGS A PREMIUM THAT OTHER COMICS WITH THE SAME THREE SIGNATURES DONT HAVE, AND THINK THE REASON FOR THAT IS THE COMIC ITSELF BEING AN ACTION COMICS #1 HOMAGE HAS GAINED STEAM OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS IS HIGHLY DESIRABLE ON COLLECTORS WANT LIST. THE SIGNATURE SERIES CGC POP CENSUS HAS RISEN STEADILY ONE HERE, ONE THERE WITH THE SKETCH ISSUE BEING THE RARE ONE WITH SIGNATURES PRICES GOING UP QUITE A BIT IN A SHORT TIME.

IVE BEEN LOOKING THRU FOREIGN ISSUE FOR YEARS AND NOT OFTEN FINDING HIGH-GRADE COPIES WHEN I SEND THEM TO CGC. THIS COMIC WAS AN EXCEPTION, A WELL APPRECIATED EXCEPTION WHEN SEEING THE 9.2 GRADE. HONESTLY THOUGHT WHEN I SENT IT IN IT WAS MAYBE A 7.5 TO 8.5 AT BEST. PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WITH THE 9.2. When I PURCHASE COMICS FROM OVERSEES I OFTEN DONT OPEN THE PACKING TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NO FURTHER POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING THE COMIC. THIS COPY WAS BOUGHT FROM A SELLER IN GERMANY SO THE TRAVEL TO THE STATES AND NO CREASING IS A HUGE PLUS. THIS GERMAN VARIANT IS A BEAUTIFUL COMIC, WITH BEAUTIFUL COLOR...

AFTER SEEING THIS COMIC IN ITS NEW CGC HOLDER HAD MORE APPRECIATION OF GETTING COMICS IN HIGH GRADE, AS WELL AS FINDING THEM WITH THE EXTENSIVE SEARCHING TO LOCATE PRISTINE AND DIFFERENT COVERS AS POSSIBLE. TODAY IS 10 / 15 / 2018 AND THE HUNT FOR COMICS FOR THIS SET IS IN FULL FORCE ADDING NEW COMICS AFTER HAVING THEM GRADED BY CGC, OR WITH SOME LUCK FINDING LOW POP CERT #ED COMICS THAT I FEEL FIT WHAT IT IS IM TRYING TO CREATE WITH THIS SET.

FINDING SPECIFIC HOMAGE, SWIPE, VARIANT AND TRIBUTE COVERS IS THE MAIN FOCUS, BUT NOW IS MOVING INTO ALSO LOOKING FOR MORE COMICS THAT HAVE THE LOOK EVEN THOUGH NOT BEING ACTUAL ACTION COMICS #1 VARIANTS. I HAVE ACTUALLY FOUND QUITE A FEW THAT FIT WHAT IM LOOKING FOR VERY WELL. CHECK OUT THE WONDER WOMAN #296 IN THIS SET, A PERFECT EXAMPLE.

2012 IWD PUBLISHING POPEYE #1 SECOND PRINT APRIL 2012 9.8...RARE. Popeye 1 Modern 9.8 2012 POPEYE # 1 SECOND PRINTING by IDW PUBLISHING APRIL 2012. THIS SECOND PRINTING of POPEYE PRINTED WITH THE DIFFERENCE`S of THE RED BORDER AROUND "POPEYE" ON THE COVER, FIRST PRINTING IS A BLACK BORDER & REVERSE OF THIS COPY HAS THE TEENAGE MUTANT TURTLES WHEREAS THE FIRST PRINTING HAS A FREE COMIC BOOK DATE ADVERTISEMENT. THE LETTERING OF POPEYE ON THIS PRINTING IS IN YELLOW, WHEREAS FIRST PRINTING it's RED. VERY DIFFICULT FINDING THESE COMICS IN RAW UNGRADED FORM, EVEN MORE, DIFFICULT TO FIND A 9.8 CGC GRADED COPY. DRIVES ME NUTS CGC LUMPS THE COMICS TOGETHER IN THE POP CENSUS / THIS ONE IS NO EXCEPTION. CGC SHOULD SEPARATE FIRST AND SECOND PRINTINGS. IM PRETTY CERTAIN THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY COPY GRADING 9.8 BUT CANT TELL BECAUSE OF THEM LUMPED TOGETHER ON THE CENSUS. ITS THE ONLY COPY I HAVE SEEN IN 9.8 BUT??? JUST CAN'T BE 100% POSITIVE / KNOWING HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO FIND UNGRADED I FEEL CONFIDENT SAYING MUST BE ONE OF 5 AT MOST. HONESTLY THINK ITS THE ONLY ONE. AS OF 2 / 10 / 2019 THERE ARE 22 9.8 CGC COPIES, MOST WERE GRADED BEFORE RELEASE OF THIS SECOND PRINTING. ONLY ONE SIGNATURE SERIES THAT COPY IS IN THIS SET. THIS COMIC by ROGER LANDRIDGE STORY, BRUCE OZELLA COVER, AND ART...EXCELLENT FIND FOR THIS SET SERIOUSLY DOUBT THERE ARE OTHERS GRADED 9.8. View Comic
1986 FANTASTIC FOUR 9.8 ISSUE # 291. MARVEL JOHN BYRNE SWIPE COVER. NO BAR CODE ISSUE. Fantastic Four 291 Modern 9.8 THIS IS A SWIPE / VARIANT ISSUE WITH 41 COPIES GRADED 9.8 ( SO FAR ) SURPRISED MORE ARE NOT SEEN FOR SALE DIFFICULT TO FIND CGC 9.8 COPIES. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES THE NEWS STAND WITH THE BAR CODE AND DIRECT ISSUE WITH NO BAR CODE. HAVE FOUND NO COPIES GRADED BY CGC WITH JUST THE BAR CODE ( YET ). STILL LOOKING FOR THE NEWS STAND COPY IN 9.8. & UNUSUAL THE PRICE FOR THIS COMIC IN GENERAL IS STILL VERY REASONABLE AT THIS POINT IN TIME AS OF 9 - 25 - 2016 ONE IS ON E-BAY WITH NO SALE AND RELISTED AT JUST $20. THINK THAT IS AN EXCELLENT DEAL WISH I NEEDED IT, EXCELLENT PRICE. LESS THAN $50 I IS A GREAT DEAL. THIS IS A COOL SWIPE / VARIANT / COVER OF THE FANTASTIC FOUR HOMAGE TO THE #1 SUPER MAN REPRINT. MANY OF THESE HOMAGE COVERS ( AT THIS POINT ) ARE LOW IN PRICE MAKES FINDING NEW COVERS EXCITING. THIS MAKES THIS SET MUCH MORE INTERESTING IN COLLECTING WITH HOPES OF FINDING AS MANY VARIABLES AS POSSIBLE. STILL SURPRISED FINDING VARIANT ISSUE`S HAD NO IDEA ARE OUT THERE UNTIL STUMBLING UPON THEM. MANY TIMES ACCIDENTALLY. ITS DIFFICULT FINDING NEW AND OLD SWIPES BUT THE SEARCH CONTINUES WITH HIGH HOPES THE HARD PART IS FINDING THEM GRADED 9.8. AND AS EXPECTED MANY ISSUES WITH LOW COLLECTOR INTEREST MAKE FINDING HIGH GRADE COPIES NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE. View Comic
