They have to be removed from the bag in order for CGC to grade them. If you send them still sealed then CGC will not open them.

4th print. Being the funeral AND the doomsday run in the same pack with later prints, buyer has a good shot at a Mos 18 4th/5th. It was a MOS #18 5th print Congratulations! (thumbs u Thanks... I was really excited when I found a MOS #20 2nd print. Congrats! Did the pack contain an AC #686 2nd and AOS #499 3rd? If so and you don't need or want them I would be happy to trade or buy them from you.

You ended up with some great pages.

Hey Matthew. Sorry to hear about all of this. I hope you have a wonderful 2015.

Congrats, Adam. I know you have been working on it or a long time. I am glad you found them all.

While we are putting out requests... Anyone have a 686 2nd print or an Adventures 499 3rd print?

For those issues not very much unless they are in mint condition and even then some of those are very common.

Sweet SS books. I still need to get me one. I do have 2 of these though.

Very nice. I still need to get me a 686 2nd print and a 499 3rd.

It's quite amusing actually, because Supes #73 has the same three-panel Doomsday fist pounding wall segment . . . and yet? There are numerous instances of ewhere the OSPG got it wrong, or lagged in editing new information or the market's preference. As most of the modern collectors out there have been saying, don't let a friend (drive while drinking) price based on OSPG. Actually they are 4 panel pages starting with the first set in MOS 17 showing a progression of Doomsday breaking free and his rubber suit tearing revealing his bony protrusions until he breaks free in Action comics 683. So MOS 17, Superman 73, Adventures 496, and Action 683 all in that order have the 4 panel fist shot but MOS 17 was the first.

i'm sure someone has the official numbers, but i think 18 has a much higher print run, they pretty much knew it'd be a big deal, therefore printed more. At least this is how I remember it. If i'm wrong, someone else feel free to step in. This is an excellent question, I always heard the print numbers were much lower for the teaser cameos than the books from the full storyline. I would like to see the numbers as well. I have only seen 1 copy of #17 in the wild in twenty years. Cap City numbers: MOS #17 - 18,700 #18 - 26,350 (I was off on this one. It does help to explain the prices.) #19 - 96,700 #20 - 84,250 #21 - 138,050 #22 (regular) - 109,350 #22 (die-cut) - 400,450 Stunning, stunning numbers. DC's marketing plan was absolute brilliance. The Death of Supes absolutely dominated the comics market from November of 1992 until the spring of 1993. Supes' numbers were low for most of 1992, MOS in the 20s and high 10s, and then shot up to the 100s and then slowly fell over the course of the next 3 years. MOS wouldn't fall back to the 20s again until late 1995. Keep in mind, these are Capital City order numbers, and do not include the other Direct Market distributors (Diamond, Heroes World, etc) or the newsstand. Cap City was about 25% of the market. Puts the numbers for #22 into perspective. Turok #1 sold 1.75 million copies to the Direct market...and it was only the SIXTH highest selling book of 1993 (MOS #22, Supes #78, Action #687, Adventures #500, 501.) Thank you for these numbers. I always enjoy seeing figures like this.
