Personally? I think poor factory colors, Marvel chipping, miscuts and poor centering should factor heavily into the technical grade. Objectively, it seems pretty bizarre that a book with bad colors and a big strip of white can get a 9.4, while a far more visually appealing 9.0 gets hammered because of a back cover stain or some stress on the spine. I don't get it, and other hobbies take factory defects into account when assessing the technical grade. Works for me though, as I can get great looking copies at a fraction of what a "better" book costs and sell fugly looking high grade books for strong prices. The more people fixated on the numerical grade, the better.

100% agree!

Very nice books.  Clean back covers and looks like little tanning and good page quality.  All three present very well.

What?!  The kiss in Superman 3 (1940) is a reprint from Action 5 (1938).  Jimmy's first appearance is Action 6 as "office boy".

Quit Monkeying around. 

Superman 3 - First kiss between Superman and Lois (although they don't actually show it).  First appearances of Jimmy Olsen, although he isn't named. 

Superman 7 - First appearance of Perry White.

Superman 13 -  First time that Jimmy Olsen's first name is used.

Superman 15 - Jimmy Olsen gets his last name.

After I started this new thread, someone was able to dig up my old feedback thread.  You can visit it at the link below.
