Those are great Wonder Womans. You don't see those issues very often at all, let alone in grade.

This is the only copy on the census.

Thanks, FYI, it's in an 8.5 CGC Universal slab.

And finally.. apparently a Salida, but it doesn't have the identifying marks. Either way, sweet as sugar, and gorgeous pages.

 

I own a coded Salida copy of this issue so while it's possible that there's a duplicate I'm not sure it's likely. Great copy, btw!

Gorgeous colors

Here is a December group shot of early GLs in nice shape. Sadly, none of them are still in my possession.

Hard to find in high grade? Really?

Not many Marvels belong in this thread, but a few might. I submit that this issue is one of them, as in the decade since CGC started, only two copies have publicly changed hands in 9.2 and none higher:

As I'm sure has already been said, most 10c DC books are tough in high grade, but some issues can br tougher still. Any book with a rich background color will be harder to find in top condition.

 

The black background makes this one of the toughest Superboys...

Staying with Superboy ( as I have Photobucket opened on the run) #80 caused me problems for years. I finally found one and then the Toth copy came up - which is a beauty. If I had not bought it I suspect by now it would have been manipulated into a higher grade, as many Toth 9.0 issues have had done to them...
