I've been told by a collector who I trust,  that this is the scarcest of the low distribution books. I'm no expert, but it took me forever to find one with a cover.

 

Superboy #21 Sold to Norrin's Lawyer

There are only 7 on the census.

Nice color, pages in the w/ow range. There is a tear at the upper staple, but it's attached to the cover. A little creasing upper left,

Grade is VG (4.0) maybe if that crease by the staple is fixed, it would go a little higher.  Bin is $185

Superboy #19,  Sold to Tfitz

Great color, pages are supple and OW/CR. There is slight tanning inside the cover and 2 of the inside pages (the 2 before the last page) are miscut, looks like a manufacturing issue. The margin is smaller, right edge only does not affect the art.

Front is nice, but there is a small tear (less than 1/2”) on the right edge (I  tore it with the mylite when  scanned it). There is stain lower right back corner that does not go through to the pages, a tiny corner missing a very small piece missing at the bottom edge a very small one on the top edge and a 1.5” tear at the top. Grade is Gd/ VG (3.0) but it looks a little better. Bin is $ 98

Superboy #15  Sold to Andy G:) 

Great colors, pages in the W/OW range. There is a small corner crease lower right, a small amount of very light creasing, scratch on the right edge, Grade is somewhere between VG+ and VG/F (4.5 to 5.0), so figure 4.5. Bin is $165

I bought this from a dealer  years ago who was supposed an expert in resto detection he said it was unrestored. I don't think I see any color in the black, but I know it's hard to find one with the color near the spine this nice, so If you sub this and it comes back restored, I'll take it back (within 3 months) I won't pay the grading fees, but I'll refund on the book.

Did Superboy introduce Batman to this idea? Apparently so.
(I hope you don't  mind me annotating your sales thread.)
Can you stomp on these low-numbered Superboys to get the prices down to something I'm willing to pay?
