    Yes! Nabbed it as soon as I saw it. Thought for sure I’d be on the hunt for a while, but lo and behold! 💥

    Thanks! Thinking it must look pretty great as a trio next to Superman 82 & AOS 505

    Finally got my hands on this one! While not a "collector's edition" it's still one of my favorite covers from this run. Currently on the hunt for Action Comics #692 CGC 9.8, if y'all can keep your eyes open for me.

    These four books probably mean the most to me, personally, from my collection. While certainly not the most “valuable” selections from the Death/Return catalog, they’re the ones closest to my heart as a collector. I was a bit late to the party, and discovered the Death of Superman story through the TPB. I still remember walking past my local comic shop on the way to piano lessons and seeing it displayed in the front window in February of 1993. Superman, covered in blood, with a sobbing Lois Lane cradling him. What could have done this?! I had to know and promptly picked it up the following Saturday. The one pictured is one of the “Platinum Edition” copies, limited to a run of 4,500 which is pretty darn low for 1993. While I missed the event that was Superman #75, I would not miss his “return” in Adventures of Superman #500 CE, which I found at Toys ‘R’ Us during its initial release. Superman #82 CE is still my favorite comic cover of all time. I remember seeing it on the rack for the first time at Osco, my local drug store, stopping me in my tracks. Adventures of Superman #505 CE was gifted to me by a friend for my birthday that same year. It was part of the “Superman Greatest Hits” set which contained several other random books from “Reign of The Supermen”. As noted earlier in this thread, the softer Holo-grafx cover makes a CGC 9.8 grade for this one extraordinarily rare.

    I was able to get AOS 500 CE at Toys 'R' Us in 1993, so yes, DC distributors sure cast a wide net with these collector's editions. Ah, the good ole' days.

    I also have mine displayed with Superman #82...I'm still basking in the glow! I was 8 in 1993, and I still remember seeing Superman #82 CE on the comic rack of my local drug store (Osco) stopping me in my tracks and desperately explaining to my mom why I NEEDED to have it. LOL

    Well there's another one accounted for! It is pretty funny. We've all been waiting YEARS for a 9.8 of this book, and now they're falling from the sky. At least they're pricing them appropriately based on the scarcity. It would hurt to see this one priced around $100, similarly to Superman #82 CE.
  33. Bibbo
    Awesome, congrats!! It's a sight to behold in person, isn't it?
  34. Bibbo
    Haha, I was shocked too! It's a high print number book and a pivotal part of the "Return" storyline. Crazy that it's taken this long for that many to appear on the census, and I'm sure it wasn't for lack of submissions. Those other 3 must have just appeared recently. Based on the prices I've seen, people are well aware how rare a 9.8 is for this book.

    Amazing, only a few months ago there was only 1 solitary 9.8 on the census for AOS 505...Now there's 7!
