1976 ACTION COMICS #1 REPRINT CGC 9.8 SAFEGUARD PROMOTIONAL FREE ISSUE WHEN SENDING IN THE SOAP LABELS. BACK IN 1976 THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS COMIC YOU HAD TO SEND IN THREE LABELS FROM THE SAFEGUARD SOAP BAR PACKAGE AS PROOF OF PURCHASE THEN THE COMIC WAS SENT BACK TO THE CUSTOMER. THIS SPECIFIC YEAR HAS RISEN A LOT IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS ON THE CGC CENSUS, & 5 YEARS AGO THERE WERE ONLY 45 OF THESE ON THE CGC CENSUS GRADING 9.8. THERE ARE NOW 122 9.8 CGC COPIES AND 110 9.6s. THE SL...EEPING BAG ISSUE HAS HAD ONLY 3 GRADED 9.8 IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, SO IT IS MUCH MORE SCARCE. THIS IS A NEAR PERFECT COPY.
BOLD COLORS, WELL CENTERED PRINTING, NOT CUT CLOSE ON TOP OF THE COMIC PAGE LIKE MANY OF THE OTHER 9.8 COMICS. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW WHERE CGC GAVE THE COMIC A 9.8 GRADE BUT THE TOP OF THE "A" IN ACTION IS VERY CLOSE TO THE CUT MARK AND MANY OF THE 9.8s HAVE PART OF THE "SAFEGUARD" WRITING ON THE REVERSE CUT ON RIGHT TOP OF THAT SAFEGUARD PRINTING. I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN MANY 9.8s. MY PHILOSOPHY ON WHY THERE ARE MORE 1976 SAFEGUARD ISSUES IS NOT MANY PEOPLE SENT IN THE LABELS FOR THE COMICs years ago, THOSE UNCLAIMED COMICS SAT UNTOUCHED FOR DECADES IN PRISTINE CONDITION ON SHELVES AND OVER THE YEARS FOUND THERE WAY BACK INTO THE HOBBY, OTHERWISE IF THAT MANY WERE SENT TO CUSTOMERS YEARS AGO THE CONDITION OF THESE WOULD NOT BE AS PRISTINE AS THE ONES SEEN TODAY, AND WHY MORE KEEP BEING FOUND GRADING 9.8. THIS COPY IS AS NICE AS YOU CAN FIND...
