Are there some must have SA Superman titles?

[Silver]

Lois 1

Jimmy 1

Jimmy 31 (try to find a nice copy of this one)

[goldust40]

I consider these SA Superman mythology keys and semi-keys:

 

Adventure 210 (first Krypto; technically not SA; super tough book)

 

 

Tough

 

I've been trying to buy a high grade Adv #210 for 25 years without even a sniff of a chance

 

Here is a super nice CGC 6.5 on ComicLink:

Thanks but looking for a VF copy or better....... and still waiting.

 

Nice looking 6.5 though George. I'd consider it...

 

That's a very steep price for Krypto.

 

He'll have his own T.V. series next year.

I did not know that about Supes #113. I wish they'd put neat stuff like that on the slab's label. Great list folks, appreciate it. Gives me more items to put on my purchase list.

 

Supes 113 is full of great Wayne Boring art in his prime. Another cool minor key that's also a great read is Superman 158 with the 1st Nightwing and Flamebird..... GOD BLESS...

Good Lord! That seems like a whooooole lot of money for that book. Let's see, 1st Krypto or 1st Spider-man in lesser grade?
