SUPERBOY #10-- 1st appearance of LANA LANG

GRADE: GD 2.0

NOTES: Structurally nicer than a 2.0. There's some grime and obvious water damage to the front cover with color bleed. But the interior is nice and tight to the cover and in great shape. Bottom right front cover crease. If you can overlook the front cover defects, it's a pretty nice lower grade copy. 

PRICE: $200 SOLD VIA PM

I have a few more books that I'll get to tonight or tomorrow.

I also have a very nice 1940 wood-jointed Ideal Novelty Superman that I'd like to move if anybody's interested. I've never sold anything other than books on the forums, so I'm not sure if that counts as "directly comics related" or not? Don't want to break any rules.

Post it. As long as you are selling comics I doubt anyone would mind. I do it all the time and have never been hassled. Or better yet, pm me and sell it to me cheap!

Waiting to see the 1940 Superman and more books so I thought this thread deserved a bump.

1940 Ideal Novelty Wood Jointed Superman Doll

The very first superhero action figure. See pics for condition. It needs to be tightened/restrung. There are tutorials out there on how to do this or bring it to a doll shop and I'm sure they could square him away quite easily. After that, he'll be a really nice example. I believed the cape was original but after looking at some other pictures I'm not sure. I'm also not sure on any amateur color touch over the years so I would assume there has probably been some as the previous owner didn't seem to know much about it. I've done nothing to it. Not really my area of expertise either, so make your judgement based off pics. I will include the doll holder as well. Similar condition sold in June for $950 on eBay. One without a head just sold for almost $500 on eBay. 

PRICE: $950 850 shipped
