Owner's Description
VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF A HIGH-GRADE COMIC SIGNED BY JERRY SIEGEL. 2000 COPIES WERE SIGNED BY JERRY WITH THE PUBLICATION DATES OF 1992 &1993. 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.
