Asked if it had been professionally pressed and what defects kept it at 9.0 and not higher.

Note the special "guest star" in the infomercial about this book, and look at the back cover scan for the answer to these questions. An in-house pressing (and whatever else) service has it's advantages! :acclaim:

 

Seriously, MATT NELSON is in the video. I'm just upset he wasn't pressing the book in the video.

signed Declaration of Independence

 

Signed by Stan Lee?

 

He would sign that in a heartbeat.

 

He totally would:

*edit - just saw you were referring to Stan Lee signing the Declaration of Independence. Of course you know he would totally sign that Action Comics.

Just my 2c

Manual snipe, I would never trust a program to do it for me on a book like this.

What other pieces of Americana might be considered comparable to a book like this?

Detective Comics #27

 

The first office proof copy of Action 1, with notations from all the participants and the editor, who sent it to Eleanor Roosevelt hoping for a letter about its educational value, who left it on FDR's desk, where it was read and doodled on by numerous visitors, including Babe Ruth, Humphrey Bogart and Albert Einsten, who was inspired by the story to scribble notes in the margins on his unified field theory.

Thank goodness CGC conducting work on books in-house isn't considered a conflict of interest, otherwise the $1,000,000+ of value this book was deemed to be "improved" by might be called into question! lol
