Owner's Description
From the 'NO ONE CAN KILL SUPERMAN!' collection.
I'm REALLY happy to have finally found this book, and am super-pleased that it came from this collection!
This was the last of the Superman 74 printings that I was able to get a hold of. I really enjoy getting all of the printings of a book in 9.8 so I can then include a picture of all of them together in one of the second picture slots. As far as presentation goes I think it is nice to show all of the printings together to display the various title colors and roman numerals all at once. I had been getting really excited to do this for this book but just couldn't seem to get there.
My hunt for this book had taken some frustrating twists and turns. There was one listed on ComicLink. I initially made an offer but didn’t get any response from the seller. I then went ahead and agreed to the buy it price, five days went by and again no response. I then did the buy it price again, another five days with no response from the seller. At this point I contacted ComicLink customer service and they attempted to reach out to the seller. Eventually the book was taken off of the exchange. It was a bummer to think you were so close to finally getting a book, literally agreeing to the buy it price, and then not getting a response.
Later, I bought a lot of 20 raw copies off of eBay for $40.00. From that lot of 20 I found two that I planned on submitting that I thought had good chances at 9.8. Now that I have this book, I won’t be submitting them anytime soon but will be sure to take care of them.
Thanks to the 'NO ONE CAN KILL SUPERMAN!' collection the Superman 74 all printings saga has finally come to a close! At the time I finally added this book there were four Universal Label 9.8’s and two Signature Series 9.8’s in the census.
I have finally added a picture of all four printings together in the second picture slot as they were when assembled. Yes! This picture was taken before I had this book and the first printing both reholdered in December 2020, and then also upgraded the first printing to a ss book! Whew, lots of work (and fun)!
