You're right... though, I don't know if Super Heroes Versus Super Villains 1 (1966)

might be older (but only by a few months, if at all).

(Does it count as an Archie?) 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

 

It is an Archie publication, but having no Archie characters, I don't consider it an Archie comic (if that makes any sense insane.gif)

You photoshopped that, didn't you. That's not real....it's a virtual slab. foreheadslap.gif

 

I scanned the book and the label separately (my scanner's not large enough for an "all-at-once" scan).

 

Here's the book with some friends. grin.gif

Valiantman said at one point that this was the earliest SA DC 9.8. Don`t know if it still is, but I think I`ll keep it anyway. grin.gif

It looks like copies of Flash #149 (12/1964) have been graded CGC 9.8...

so now it's third... behind Justice League of America 37 (8/1965).

Still nice, though! thumbsup2.gif

 

Greg - i'm confused here. confused.gif

 

why isn't the showcase (metal men) still the earliest SA 9.8?? surely Flash 149 and JLA 37 came later?!?!?!

Bah! I screwed up! blush.gif

 

I saw Metal Men, then checked my listings and found a 9.8 for Metal Men 58 (9/1965).

So... I assumed that was the Metal Men book that was staring me right in the face.

Whoops! blush.gif

(I even thought I could read the tiny "58" issue number on the cover...)

 

Ok, Showcase 38 (1962) is still the OLDEST Silver Age D.C. comic in CGC 9.8 condition.

 

BUT... (this might be news) there is a CGC 9.9 for Superman 164 (1963)

as well as a CGC 9.9 for House of Secrets 77 (1966) and Atom 29 (1967).

 

(If anyone's wondering, there are 36 pre-1956 D.C. comics in CGC 9.8.)

 

Sorry about that! flowerred.gif
