Superman Death-Return Print Variant Collection 5 5

[Nico Esq]

Any idea what the print run was on the two platinums ... I'm pretty sure I have a couple copies of each of the platinums somewhere. Like everyone else, I have more copies of the regular issues than I should and would like to forget that I didn't sell them way back when they were going for top dollar.

[Darrell F]

Print run on 75 platinum was 10,000. Not too sure on the 500.

I think this is a good time to ask if anyone has the following SS 9.8

 

Man of Steel #18

Action Comics #684

 

Please lemme complete my collection

You're probably going to have to wait till June for that Action 684. Guice is gonna be at Heroes Con. There are only 3 9.8s out there.

Thibert and Stein would do too

Yeah I still need a Thibert and would love to upgrade my 9.0 Stern. Also keeping an eye out for Rodier. He was at the Montreal Comicon in 2010.

quick question: did Thibert and Stein contributed in the death/funeral or reign??

 

and for that matter who is stein??

[Darrell F]

Thibert did the cover to Action 684

 

Stern wrote Action 683-691 and had a part in Adventures of Superman 500.

Print run on 75 platinum was 10,000. Not too sure on the 500.

 

Was it a retailer incentive based off orders? I remember my friend had to buy like 50-100 Sups 75 to get a platinum I think it was 50.

 

[Darrell F]

I know the inside of the book has a thank you to retailers (I think it is this book). I also know that some were given out in the letter columns in these issues in place of the normal price which was a Baldy if I am not mistaken.

This is what I found in a Comic Buyers Guide from early December 1992. Not sure if this accounts for all 10,000 of the issues but it appears they were given out free.

I finally found a Legacy of Superman 2nd Print. Only the second copy i've seen for sale in 5 years. Even received a nice thank you from seller:

 

"Thank you. Nearly a hundred of these comics were about to go into a friends woodburner. Look for more to come from 1st.bird. What doesn't sell is being trashed. Hope you enjoy your purchase."

 

At least I know why its so hard to find the later printings.

Superman 75 Plat 9.8 Jurgens sighting on eBay right now. I think seller got it at MegaCon's on-site grading. $1100. I'd jump on it but I'm waiting for the 3 I subbed fast track.

[Darrell F]

yeah I saw that one this morning. I am hoping my platinum that I subbed at Mega Con comes back decent (I know it is not a 9.8).

Isn't this one of these books that will most likely be cheaper down the road?

[Darrell F]

It's been out for 20 years so probably not going to drop all that much.

[comicdonna]

It will depend on how many 9.8's show up in the census over the years. I have seen 70's to 80's books drop because of HG additions to the census.

Its already dropped quite a bit. The first 9.8 universal sold on ebay for $1500, now there's one for $500 and its been re-posted a few times without a bid. As much as I would love to believe that a Jurgens sig brings the value up to $1199.00, it does not.

[Darrell F]

I know it will depend on that but I do not see the market being flooded with them. Only GPA on a 9.8 SS was back in 2010 for $1000. Universal 9.8's are 450ish all day long too.
