I wonder how many other issues exist with this bespoke Eastern News barcode. If I recall correctly, Eastern News primarily did distribution to mini-bookstores in business areas, like the ones in airports. I have to assume that, however many books were printed for them this way, survival rates are, erm, not gonna be great absent warehouse finds.

Yeah, I haven’t seen many. I am amazed at how this survived in the condition it did. It’s going to CGC next week.

I've noticed about 1-3 a year pop up on ebay the past couple of years.  Mostly either obvious flaws, or poor photography.  I did notice one in a local shop near me at a FCB sale last year, that one was low grade, I left it.

Yeah, it’s not often, and I always seem to miss when they do.

Just shipped...

Guess there were some light spine stress I overlooked in my excitement according to grader's notes, but I'll take it.

Has anyone had any luck pressing this book? I’ve got a couple light creases on the cover. Not sure if I should try and press or just leave it raw.

I have had good luck with them, but I send them to a professional used by a lot of us here. ( not the in house guys)

Who do you use for pressing?

Like I said: the likelihood of others popping up is low. The sting of price fades; the bitterness of frustration never ends.

Yep!

Hi everyone 👋 

just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Wayne. I’m based in the UK and some of you I may have already spoken with. @Iconic1s has been super helpful in offering advice and leads with helping me build my graded collection.

I first got into comics in 93 with this classic storyline and even now in my forties, it still is my go to when reading. I will never forget walking past a comic store here in England and seeing the front cover of Superman #80 and thinking WTH? 😂

Id love to share a few of my more recent pick ups attached!

Kind regards

Wayne

Third time is a charm. Just got it back from the Louise simonson signing. Finally got a 9.8. First two times it came back 9.6. Not sure if I should keep submitting for more sigs or not.

fond memories of finding this on stands when parents had me in tow, it was an eventful future at the time making impacts, and I'm just glad there are so many sigs of people to still obtain.
