Superman Death-Return Print Variant Collection

Already have a 71 in universal and the 69 is the only one of the 3 JLA books I really like. Also I think I have another 80 or 3 that made the 9.8 cutoff. Will have to check later on.

 

 

 

The 3 JLA books are some of my favorites. Mainly because as a kid collecting this set, the three local stores that sold comics did not carry that title. It wasn't until a month or so after the books were released that my mom finally took me to a comic shop to get them. And at that point they were way above cover price.

 

About 10 years ago when I got back into comics, I had an obsession with buying these books. I just couldn't see passing up the books on ebay at such cheap prices compared to when I was a kid. After buying about 40+ of each, the novelty finally wore off.

Print run on 75 platinum was 10,000. Not too sure on the 500.

 

Was it a retailer incentive based off orders? I remember my friend had to buy like 50-100 Sups 75 to get a platinum I think it was 50.

 

 

This is what I found in a Comic Buyers Guide from early December 1992. Not sure if this accounts for all 10,000 of the issues but it appears they were given out free.

Congrats on the platinum sig, with Jerry's signature.... I know I've been trying to get a plat 9.8 but they all keep coming back as a 9.6..... Also Jerry's sig is really hard to get, since I think he only does one or two con a years (if ever) congrats again

Hexenmeister,

 

Hopefully this won't frustrate you further, but you don't have the "real' newsstand version of the first printing with the bar code. Ironically I had a 5 pack sitting on my printer because I've been meaning to scan it for the past month.

No frustration. I have a few newsstand versions graded. Plus I have a short box full of NM newsstand books I still have to go through to see what is 9.8 material. I'll worry about them later.  I also have my original set from when I was 10 tucked away, almost all newsstand.
