Thank you. Just luck and a TON of digging.  

Deep box diving.

I look for them at every shop I visit. They really are fun to track down, I just wish I'd find new ones over the ones I find repreatedly. (I still buy them all anyway-it's an addiction lol)

I just recently purchased this Brave and the Bold #157 Whitman variant. As I was looking it over, I saw it had a distributor mark on it. If these were originally sold polybagged, why is there this mark? Any ideas? Or am I misunderstanding the importance of distributor marks. Please ignore the construction hands.

From one of my sealed packs. That’s not overspray.

They're price errors and not Canadian editions?  Interesting!  

Canadian price variants (can of worms, I know) didn’t start until 1982 for DC and Marvel. Whitman didn’t start theirs until 1984, where the 60 cent issues were priced at 75 cents. 

Iron Man 12, Miles cover seems to be firing on all cylinders.

Yeah the optimist in me keeps checking, just in case. I wonder if they will restock?

They did in Canada last week. They’ve been picked over again.

I was just going through thé sold listings on DCU books. What’s going on with some of these prices? It looks like the masses are now onto them. 

Went through one of my Whitman boxes and I seem to have sold off a lot of the copies I had that had the grey paint on them, but I did find this messy example. 

Nice to see Starslayer 2 is finaly getting some love after the Rocketeer news dropped.

I don’t mean to hijack the OP’s thread, but I’ve been wondering much the same thing about this book:

This issue is supposed to have only been available in sealed packs, no newsstand distribution.  Yet the top right corner looks very much like it has gray distributor ink. 

Any thoughts on what this is or why it’s there?

I've encountered a lot of Whitman books that have had grey markings like this. I wonder if they were remaindered. Some of them had the grey paint down the entire spine.

Time will tell, but I think the 1:100 will still be the bigger one of the two. I sold one of my 1:50s early on for $80 or $90 on eBay when there was a bit of a spike in demand, and still have the other one for now. I am just happy this book is taking off sooner than I expected it would. I based my spec buy on 2-3 year time horizon for something to happen with D+.

I think the Indigenous cover variant by Veregge that was an hommage to Moon Knight 29 is one that's flying under the radar of a lot of collectors. All black cover might make it a tough one to find in high grade.

Great score!

Beautiful copy of Looney 35. Find it in person, or online? I've rarely come across one.

Looks like it's true. 

Here’s one you don’t see very often.

My bad, what I meant was that it mentions there are 2 DCU logo versions.  I'm having a hard time confirming what the 2nd DCU logo version looks like or if it exists? 

I think the other version is a stickered one. I don't have any pics unfortunately.

Thé only difference with this one is that it seems to be more plentiful than the original, and it’s not even that old.

Speaking of Invincible, I'm amazed at how the Larry's edition of #1 keeps creeping up more and more. I keep thinking it's going to pull back some but not yet. It'll be interesting to see how this paces out with the original Invincible #1. I sent one off to get a quick press though just to have one on hand when I think I'm ready to pull the trigger!

It’s crazy that people are paying that much for a reprint that came out almost a year later.

Not a modern, but found this one on the weekend. Newsstand with direct barcode.

The rarest of the BOTP books IMHO. Never saw one as a kid, took 20 years to find one (pre-internet )

I still have not received my Venom 33 raw unsigned from them yet. I’ll pass
