    Yer right - those Jimmy Olsen books are a bargain. i picked up some more at a very high priced comic store but these comics were still very reasonable. I love the cover where Jimmy is in self confinement in a transparent cell in his basement , looking like he needs a shower & shave, and very hungry. Superman has a tray of delicious food and says, “Jimmy, come out of that cell and eat this super meal!” But Jimmy won’t eat anything good or leave the cell. So many fun covers!

    Yes you were right pay less for the stapled ones. While it doesn’t bother me too much, I do understand the market would grade those at a 2.0 or so, therefore the value would be less. Still even at a couple of bucks for those, they’d be a pretty good deal.
