Waiting for a case of 5th prints to hit the market

That would be so sweet to come across a box of comics like that still sealed. Even if the book was nothing special, it would be awesome to just open the box to start filtering out the uber HG copies.

Found this guy in the wild recently.

As much as it hurts my wallet to say it, now people are buying the subsequent prints (sometimes at a higher rate than the 1st prints), copies will be showing up everywhere.

 

Not to take away from your recent find at all; I still want to find one of those.

 

I went looking for later printings at my LCS of anything to do with Doomsday and came away with a lot more than I expected.

3rd. The later the printing, the more valuable it is at the moment.

 

The key words here, are of course, "at the moment."

That is a total scream. And scary, when you think of how many of these may be actually out there for any post-1975 issue.

I've been checking out later printings on Doomsday stuff for a little while.

 

Happened on both of these today, which I didn't know existed:

 

 

[faster friends]

3rd and 4th printings

 

 

[faster friends]

1st and 2nd printing

 

[Bosco685]

 

I know those didn't come from Uncle Phil. Later in publication, and he would have made you go deep into the wallet.

[faster friends]

Very true. These were flea market finds

I bid just over $1000 and lost. I was pretty bummed when I lost out and would have bid more but the auction ended with all the bidding happening in the last few seconds.

I found second prints for MOS 17 and Action #683 when I was a kid, I remember being disappointed when I found out later on they were second prints. I was so excited to find them in the bins in 94/95 that I didn't notice the roman numerals at the top. Great finds!

That is a total scream. And scary, when you think of how many of these may be

actually out there for any post-1975 issue.

 

We all know there are many copies of the first printing of this book out there,

and I would venture to say that this applies to all of the Death of Superman

x-over issues (MOS 19, Superman 74,75 & Action 684 and JLA 69 to name a few).

 

This eBAY sale is merely confirmation of that fact and I hope that the buyer has

enough sense to avoid flooding the market with CGC 9.8 copies. That being said, I

don't see why MOS 18 first printing is any more than a $100 book in CGC 9.8 due

to plentiful supply, unless demand really spikes due to the Superman/Batman movie.

 

There are a LOT of CGC 9.8 copies for sale right now on eBAY and most

are NOT going to sell at their current listed prices.

This popped for me today...

 

5th print

 

[gadzukes]

If a person is going to collect these Doomsday related Superman comics, what's the run down of "must have" in order of importance?

 

Value-wise is MOS 18 at the top, then MOS 17? And is the 1st printing the most valuable of each one? Or is it the last printing?

So how many 9.8s do you suppose are in an uncirculated box of 300? 100?

How many 9.9s? A couple?

It all depends on how much it's been handled and traveled. Could easily be zero. Hey Homer, grab that forklift over there . . .

[Loukayza]

Small world. I actually picked up 3 copies of MOS #18 from one of the NDC retail stores last night here in the Burgh. Will need to check there other stores as well, because they were barely over cover price....

Depends on how many you're willing to pay to have pressed.
