A few thoughts:

— Scratch another one off the list of DC Facsimiles we’ve been waiting for.

— Makes me wonder what other Supergirl Facsimiles could be in the offing between this fall and next summer. Hmmm.

— Obligatory Price Comparison: An unslabbed, original Action Comics #252 in Good condition recently sold on eBay for $1,838, plus about $46 in shipping from the UK.
