| I've emailed CBCS about obtaining action comcis 4 label notes with no answer back. Was hoping maybe someone on here actually has an action comics 4 graded through CBCS and if they could take a picture of the label for me to see if they note the key inside the book. Appreciate it tons if you can help! Thanks! |

| Welcome to the forum, @ryvandal. I wish I could help, but that’s before my time. I can tell you from some quick research that Clark was working for the Evening News and Superman wore blue boots in one of the stories. Have you tried searching the archives of HA.com? | ||

| How come it must be stated? He’s in every issue and this is dated before his other series’ starts. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by cyrano0521 In general you can't assume, especially from this era, a character appears in every issue of a generic title. It could have been very plausible, for example, if there were no Superman appearance in issue #3 of Action Comics. Amazing Fantasy #15 is the classic example - you often have no idea if a character is catching on til months later. These details aren't clear to everyone so it can't hurt to clarify. On early Silver Age Marvels it can get pretty convoluted. On a related note, though, it makes you wonder where to draw the line on noting appearances. 5th? 6th? I mean at some point it does start to sound silly. |

Quote:Originally Posted by TommyJasmin Interesting question. I’m sure that it’s Superman and the age of the book drive it in this case. I doubt anyone is pointing out the 4th appearance on squirrel girl, but I can see how this might be relevant information in this case. I totally get your point, though. Is the tenth appearance of Superman worth noting? Either way, it’s a cool book! |

| The Legion of Super-Heroes are noted thru 20th appearance because they are in different series. They are the only people to have this designation that i know of. Even Howard the Duck is only noted thru 5th app because 6th is his own #1 (i think). | ||

| Yes, i know, and not everyone knows that. But everyone should know he is in every issue of Action until he “died.” | ||

    Here's my action 4 that is coverless. I'm going to crack it cause I dislike PGX and I wont know if there is something missing from within till I crack/count the pages myself. I have a reproduction cover that I threw over the case just for fun. Its a full wrap, including the interior front, interior back, and back page. I am at a cross roads on whether to archival tape it on or not... or just leave it coverless and grade it through CBCS. We shall see I guess! Thanks everyone! I am absolutely ecstatic that I own such a wicked comic. Def in my top 5 books in my collection. |

| Are you just hoping for the accurate notes, or also a grade improvement? Not too sure how CBCS handles them, but I don't think it will improve much even with the sharp repro cover, if at all. I have a sighed coverless Avengers #1 0.5 and a repro cover that I plan to join, but won't degrade because it won't improve, and it hides Lee's sig. Plus I'll still have the label showing it was witnessed. Tape is a nasty word too lol |

| Well if you chose not to put the reproduction cover on, it becomes quite obvious that Superman appears in the book. With the cover on, it becomes necessary to read the label notes. What a quandary. | ||

| @ryvandal Good vid, thanks for posting. Almost certain that CBCS would have removed the book from the slab for you. However, I realize that you wanted to count the pages and look for obvious restoration etc. (But once it’s out of the slab, would probably want it encapsulated again anyway, regardless of restoration - but it makes for a good video  ).I also don’t see any reason to attach the reproduction cover. Just slide it over unattached and have it graded. |

Quote:Originally Posted by CaptainCanuck Thanks for watching! I am happy its all there. Unfortunately as per CBCS the cover cannot be loose, it has to be attached via Archival tape, otherwise they will just grade the book without the cover. (P.S I uploaded a new video of the book with the cover on it) |
