ALL-STAR 1 and LEGION 1 didn't have any tables of contents. Their vol 2s came with a sticker page of contents to place in the vol 1s.

Nope - they just shrink-wrapped over the shrink-wrap!

They did the same for an All-Star volume I recently picked up (either 6 or 7), which was missing a bio for Gardner Fox.

I remember you had to ask your LCS for the sticker (which I did). I don't know what DC did with the as yet unsold copies. If the sticker was inserted inside the shrink wrap, does that mean they had to remove the shrink wrap from the entire print run and then re shrink wrap them?

If my memory doesn´t fail, the sticker was loose (this almost for sure, given that it had to be sticked), and probably at sight, so maybe it came on the back, as you say. In my case, I sticked it on the blank page just before the first story of the book that was the one corresponding to the correcting sticker as well. And I also sticked the explanation it brought by under the sticker with the right text.

Inside back cover, altough if I remember right, wasn't it inside the plastic shrink wrap on the back?

It´s also corrected in the Showcase presents edition.

Anyhow, I´m keeping my Archives uncorrected, with the sticker sticked somewhere else (in the previous blank page, as a memento) because errors like this are charming too.

World´s finest is perhaps one of the best comicbooks ever. To have only three Archives of these is a frustration. But, what to do about it? Besides, not only Superman-Batman team ups are irresistible. Solo adventures are irresistible too.

Yes, there was a corrected second printing.

Thanks, RIP. Where does the self-adhesive sticker appear? Is it on a looseleaf page included with the book??

Anyone know if there was a 2nd printing of Vol. 1 that had the correct caption?

I quote :

ERRATUM: The caption as it appears on page 12 is inaccurate. Reproduced above is the caption text as it appeared in the original printing of Superman # 76.

If you wish, you may peel off this self-adhesive sticker and place it over the rroneous caption.

We at DC Comics offer our apologies for this error.

As I understand it, the Yellow title page blurb from Superman # 76 used was from a reprint from a later issue of World's Finest (Maybe...

Hey, it's me again. I know nothing about any errors in the first printing. This is the first I've heard of it.

Until I researched this Archives series, I had no idea that the issues in World's Finest Archives V1 predate those in SA Flash V1. I guess it's not technically "Silver Age World's Finest" if the Silver Age didn't actually start until 2 years later with...

I'm this close to buying Silver Age World's Finest Archives Volume 1. Can someone remind me the nature of the error in one of these volumes, where the narration caption was wrong or something? And was it corrected in later reprintings? If so, how can I ensure that I get the edition with the proper caption? Thanks for any info.
