Owner's Description

THIS IS A MISLABELED ACTION COMICS SUPERMAN #1 REPRINT. THIS SUPERMAN REPRINT IS ACTUALLY 1987 IN A 1983 LABELED HOLDER, CGC MISSED THE CORRECT COPYRIGHT DATE WHEN IT WAS ENCAPSULATED. THE EASY WAY TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE 1983 HAS A SUPERMAN W/ THE PEANUT BUTTER ON THE REVERSE. 1987 HAS THE NESTLE QUICK BUNNY. THIS SPECIFIC COPY HAS THE NESTLE QUICK BUNNY, THAT REVERSE IMAGE WAS ONLY USED ON THE 1987 COMIC. THE 1983 SUPERMAN REPRINTS ARE RARE, ONLY FIVE COPIES TOTAL HAVE GRADED 9.8. TWO COPIES RECENTLY GRADED (9- 28- 2016) AND IM 100% POSITIVE THIS IS THE 4TH COPY GRADING 9.8. BUT IS NOT 1983 IS ACTUALLY 1987. ANOTHER GRADED 9.8. AND IS CORRECTLY LABELED ON THE HOLDER. THIS MEANS THERE STILL ARE ONLY 4 TOTAL CGC 9.8 COPIES. CGC WOULD CORRECT THIS BUT I HAVE CHOSEN TO LEAVE IT AS IS, A MISLABELED ODDITY FOR THIS SET. I AM 100% POSITIVE THIS IS THE 4TH EVER CGC 9.8 GRADED FOR 1983 WITH THE WRONG YEAR ON HOLDER. INTERESTING PIECE AND ADDS UNIQUENESS TO THIS SET.

THIS REPRINT IS IN CGCs NEWER HOLDER. 1983 & 1987 COMICS ARE EASILY MISTAKEN, WHEN READING THE COPYRIGHT MANY FAIL TO READ 1987 ON THE SAME LINE SHORTLY WORDED AFTER 1983 EVEN CONFUSING CGC. FLIP THE COMIC, REVERSE, SUPERMAN PEANUT BUTTER 1983, NESTLE QUICK BUNNY1987.
