 Thanks for the info about why the first release of Troi was stopped. In Seattle we received the first release and the only reason I didnt grab one was because
 she looked terrible.

 I havent seen the new one yet, but from what I hear there will be plenty to
 go around. I advise you to wait. These aren't going to be worth much in the
 future anyway. The Galoob figures released years ago only go for $15-$20.

I used to store all my cards (sets, singles, etc) in pages in a binder, but I
found that some of the last few pages in the binder will occasionally slip out
of the binder and the cards will get bent.  Now I store almost all of my cards
exclusively in boxes.  They are easier to store and go through, not to mention
cheaper.  Boxes and pages can be found in any card collectible store.  I also
suggest that for the more valuable cards to get a hard plastic screw down
case.  These are usefulin that they are about 1/4" thick and protect the cards
very well.

Actually there are three additional cards: one for the A subset, one for

I've corresponded with someone who got a B.

Kris and another poster both point out that the high print run of the
issue will serve to diminish the collectible value of the comic over time.

However, please note that there are two editions of Superman #75 that
were sold - the "bagged, sealed" version, and the newstand/unbagged
version.  The former comes in an eye-grabbing black plastic bag adorned
with a red Superman logo drawn as if blood is dripping down it.  (It
doesn't look all that gruesome really, perhaps I've failed to describe
it well).  This version had a cover price of $2.50 and also had several
other items sealed inside the bag such as a cloth mourning arm-band, 
a poster, and also a trading card and a stamp or something I believe.

The latter version of Superman #75 was just a plain and simple comic.
No bag, no extra goodies, and only a $1.25 cover price.  The plain
Superman #75 also has gone through 4 printings!   

The print run figures quoted are in the ballpark I've heard from 
knowledgeable sources, but the breakdown wasn't noted!  As far as I know,
the initial print run was around 3 million, however, of that only
about 300,000 copies of the bagged collector's edition were sold.  Also
I've heard that because of lack of availability of the cloth for the
mourning arm-bands DC was unable to reprint the bagged collector's edition.

So yes, the plain Superman #75's availability is quite evident.  However,
the bagged edition is much more limited and seems destined to stay that
way.

Will he be resurrected?  Will that impact Superman #75s value?  Both
of these questions are speculative at this point.  I might note though
that a recent CBG interview reveals that the 4 creative teams formerly
producing Superman-related series (which are currently cancelled or else
on hiatus) will shortly be producing 4 new comics titles based on 4 new
super-heroes who come to fill the void left by the Big Red S.  But I won't
venture an opinion on these questions -- I may not be objective because
I want to sell my 2 extra copies of Superman #75 each for around $20!
