There was also a SSoSV tabloid. Does anyone have this? Does it have an original story, or is it a reprint?

That's 514 pages total. Which, if the 208 pages on Amazon is accurate, suggests that it would be about 2 volumes.
Definitely dump DC SPECIAL # 27, I say. That cuts 34 pages. I'll say dump SSoSV 17 as well, UNLESS they get someone to finish the rough pencils which I thoroughly doubt. That cuts 17 more pages for a total of 61, bringing the count down to 463, which is definitely do-able for 2 volumes.
I think the other items are essential, but if they were to dump anything else it would likely be the never-published SSoSV 16 from the Cancelled Comics Cavalcade.
That reduced the page count by 18, for 445 pages-- easily done in 2 hardback volumes.
I will gladly pay the price for these nice versions of comics that meant so much to be as a kid and are so scarce and expensive these days. I hate to take out my originals much for fear of messing them up further.
After this, this leaves only Groovy 70s TITANS and Freedom Fighters that will need reprinting, to make me a happy happy lad!

My mistake, Lash. I was thinking of one of the "Secret Origins of Super-Villains" tabloids, of which there were 2, I think. It was C39 (1975) that I was thinking of.

At the CBS today, I looked into SSoSV back issues. While # 1 was $18, the rest ranged from $4 to $9.
My collection is missing a few issues that somehow vanished over the years (a rarity for me), and the rest are pretty ratty.
Anyhoo, since the hardback will def. reprint about the first half of the series, I scored # 15 (final issue) for $4 today. Wanna make sure I have all the later issues in case they don't issue a 2nd hardback to finish the series.

I'll have to double check but I know from earlier in the thread I'm missing # 2 (which surely will be in the hardback) and the "all-Captains" issue which is somewhere in the middle of the run and MIGHT be included in the hardback.

I gotta grab something at my parents before I can send something out to Cobie. Let me check my copies of what I have...I got them in a quarter bin at a store closing sale years ago. Let me know soon what else you might need.
