At long last! Just snagged the last few issues to finish the run, and wanted to share with my fellow forumites.

 

This set amalgamates years of blood, sweat, tears, and maybe even some gas...... purchases from Greg, Harley, Rick, Adam, Jeff, Richard, Stephen....all the best dealers!

 

Was a crazy, silly, fun and rewarded endeavor - even notwithstanding a couple times a thread post surfaced here wondering why i bothered to slab Superman #410..... well, because i wanted this set!!

 

Fun facts

* Last book to find/slab - #387

* Most slabbed copies of a single issue before getting the desired grade - 5

* Most copies of a single issue over the period from the initial copy to the current one - 8 (issue number 36)

* My Favorite Issues: #1 (of course), #4, #7, #14, #17, #19, #24, #26, #50, #60, #61, #76, #78, #81, #100, #106, #123, #149, #199, #215, #233, #252, #387, #400.

 

Summary

* Issues 1-125: mostly cgc 6.0 or better (#1 is cgc 2.0 blue or cgc 8.5 purple)

* Issues 126-200 and Annuals 1-8: mostly cgc 7.0 or better

* Issues 201-423, Annuals 9-12 and Specials 1-3: mostly cgc 9.4 or better (vast majority cgc 9.2 or better)

 

I've detailed the set a bit more on the registry page, including individual scans of every front and back cover so you can enjoy it with me. 99% of the scans are up now, just note i have a few more to update and will do asap.

 

Appreciate any comments guys and gals! Long live the Man of Steel!!!
