That is a total scream. And scary, when you think of how many of these may be
actually out there for any post-1975 issue.
We all know there are many copies of the first printing of this book out there,
and I would venture to say that this applies to all of the Death of Superman
x-over issues (MOS 19, Superman 74,75 & Action 684 and JLA 69 to name a few).
This eBAY sale is merely confirmation of that fact and I hope that the buyer has
enough sense to avoid flooding the market with CGC 9.8 copies. That being said, I
don't see why MOS 18 first printing is any more than a $100 book in CGC 9.8 due
to plentiful supply, unless demand really spikes due to the Superman/Batman movie.
There are a LOT of CGC 9.8 copies for sale right now on eBAY and most
are NOT going to sell at their current listed prices.
