Thanks! I am going to have to check my whole run!

Are all the ads inside the same?

Issues 1,2 and 3 were all reprinted and sold in a pack

The #4 and #6 look like standard Direct Edition 1st prints, but what's up with that #5 (assuming it is #5 between issues 4 and 6)?  Is there no number in the number block or is the picture just cut a bit short?

There is a 2nd print to Thundercats #4 (Marvel "M" box, no month under the date).  I do not believe there to be a 2nd print of either Thundercats 5 or 6 but would love to be wrong.

The middle book is a third print #1.

Here a sealed Thundercats pack I found along the way. 

Here are pics of the Secret Wars pack sealed

Found a few today

Some more finds today.

The gravy train ran out a while back on these DCU's for sure IMO.  I'm coming across them way less frequently, and even seeing them on walls around town...

Grabbing them on eBay is out of the question anymore.

It is getting tougher. I went looking everywhere over the holidays and didn’t find any!

Canadian variant of Hercules mini #3

Picked up copies of this tonight 

I don't think there are Canadian Variants of the Funny Animal Charlton books. All the copies I've looked at had 75 cent prices. I could be wrong, but i look for them whenever I see them. Same goes for the Thane and Timmy the Timid Ghost. I think those later issues (the ones with the changed logo and pricing layouts) only had 75 cent prices. Photos could change my mind however.

I still have my copy that I bought off the rack back in the day here in Canada and there was no Tattooz in it

The Canadian newsstands I bought at the time, had the tattoos.

I thought that WW 98 was one of the more desireable ones not that long ago? 

I think that would be 90 or the Joker covers

Where did you nab these from? I had nice stacks of the same Wonder Woman and Batman issue in a collection I picked up a couple of years ago. I wonder if they came from the same source? Send me a PM if you would like to compare notes.

I think they might have been sold at an auction house on 184 street back in the day. They were broken up and split into lots with copies of every issue scattered throughout. I've seen large numbers of these issues pop up at various locations since then. Wee Book has had a bunch, as well as Tony at Ultimate. I must have at least 40 copies of the WW 98.

Just picked these guys up. I think the Wonder Woman and Superman issues were packaged together.

Lower left back cover, is that a water stain mark?  If not I would go with 8.0 due to a handful of small spine tics and the corners

You might be right on the water stain, that's what I get for looking at the image on my phone.

8.0-8.5. Not sure how to grade with that small tear on the front cover. 

8.0 because of the corners. Beautiful copy of a really rare book

Got them through an online ad.

Even though it looks beat, it is still a complete CDN newsstand 1st Cheryl Blossom. Congrats!

Thanks! All those Archie issues are early Blossom appearances and Canadian Price variants to boot. Saw a Betty and Veronica 322 sold on Heritage this week for 340.00 in NM. That's a big jump from previous sales. Going to take them all in to Tony for a little press. (as well as my other copies of 320,321,322

Today was a good day
