The most unusual issue involves indentations on the front cover. Apparently, someone laid a piece of paper over the front cover and traced the image of Superman. I imagine it was probably a kid 50+ years ago, treating the comic book like...a comic book.

Notable issues

Back cover

Front Cover

Picked this up as part of a collection over the weekend. There were some other key issues; however, the first appearance of Supergirl was the "Belle of the Ball." I'd be interested in the opinions of everyone here regarding the grade. I photographed everything, but I'll start off with front/back cover pics and a list of the issues I saw. Scans to follow.

Very helpful, thank you. :-)

Thanks for the response/info. I appreciate it.

Good to know the entire store is down. Regarding the age of the link, I am aware it's old. It's on the CGC site, though, so I figured it may still be relevant. It seems like the type of item which may be "evergreen" in nature. So, I'm wondering if these kits are still available. Even if I can't get it today due to the store being down, does CGC still carry these? (not solely asking Mike here; I'm posing the question to the group at large)

Window bags are those bags with a "missing piece" to allow for signatures. correct? I'm not looking for those. I'm looking for the shipping kits. They had 7.5" wide boards, bags to match, a couple shipping boxes, and a Gemini mailer marked, "raw comics inside;" https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/8035/cgc-shipping-kits/

When I first joined CGC, I requested/received one of these kits. When I followed the link for them on the CGC website, I got a "page not found" error. Are these kits still available? If so, how would one get one?

@jimjum12 We don't know each other; however, I wanted to offer a few words of understanding and encouragement. I had a stroke in 2016. Life changed significantly for me that day. I was suddenly faced with an entirely new reality. Things I had long taken for granted were now out of reach, at least temporarily. I had to re-learn things all over again, formerly simple things like walking, talking, eating. The road was definitely humbling, although I will say it was more than a little interesting. As my recovery plateaued, I found that this "new" life was somehow more rewarding than the old one had ever been. Although my physical baseline wasn't where it used to be, everything else had become richer, fuller, more enjoyable. Family, friends, pets, music, and yes, even comic books were more meaningful than they had ever been. For the first time since I was a child, I approached the world with wide-eyed wonderment. I have been able to use my experience to stop and truly smell the roses. Much to my surprise, they're absolutely glorious. They were always there, right under my nose. I just never took the time to notice before. Be strong, good sir. Best of luck with everything. Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat. Best regards, Eric

Thanks for the info. 'preciate it.

A friend of mine mentioned World of Wheels. The general theme of that title seems to fit; however, I couldn't find a story synopsis that matched what I remember.

Comic book. Illustrations, not pictures. Color, not B&W.

I read the comic in the late '70s or early '80s
