Has anyone seen a double cover where the two covers are different? I recently found this Spider-Man #98 where the outside cover is the "variant" cover and the inside cover is the regular cover.

The BULLET or DC LOGO in the UPC Box at the bottom:
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure these generally came in the some of the same 'multi-packs' as the DCUniverse comics.
I think in most cases, the 'bullet' issue(s) are numerically before (lower than) the DC Universe comics.
Great, now I've got even more books to look for that will drive me crazy

I have some more to add to the list. Also, you will need to make a distinction for Supergirl, since I have instances of DC Universe UPCs for both the 1994 mini series and the 1996 ongoing series. Here are the issues to add to your list with pictures below. I also added my copy of Green Lantern 36.
Catwoman 12 & 13
DC vs Marvel 4
Flash 90
Superboy 13
Supergirl (1994 mini series) 4
Supergirl (1996 ongoing) 3
Superman: The Man of Steel Annual 3

Flash Vol 2 41 and 44 have second printings.
I have two JL Annual 5 second prints, if anyone one wants to trade for the Flash ones.
Pics!
I picked up one of the JL Annual 5 2nd Prints as well. I saw that silver cover and the roman numeral and had to have it

Did this Livewire girl appear in the actual television animated show first prior to being in a comic?
Harley and Livewire together in Batman Animated Series

I'm a fan of Linsner's work as well and was able to pick up this book at Megacon out of a dollar box. I wasn't even sure what I had until I got back home but the cover really caught my eye. I have not read either of the series but his artwork really is stunning.

Adventures of Superman #499 had a 2nd
I think it's well established by the most serious folks in this field that, while a 3rd printing of #499 exists...a second does not.
Interesting, huh?
My bad, I wasn't sure how a 3rd print could occur if there wasn't a 2nd print. Does anyone know of another instance where this happens?
-

There must be something to the Tampa connection. I just found this copy at the Tampa show, at the booth right next to David's (who I bought some great books from by the way). Sending it in to get graded real soon.

After reading this thread I saw this one and just had to pick it up. I remember back in grade school wanting to make my own comic book and I'm pretty sure this is how it would have turned out. I love the questionnaire too, classic. It even came with a self-addressed stamped envelope.

I recently saw a Craigslist posting from a local antique store that said they had some comic books for sale for $2 each and since I had some spare time I went to check it out. Most of the books were Copper and Modern drek but they did have some cool Copper Sgt. Rock books and a nice copy of Infinity Gauntlet #1. I went up to the counter to pay and they said they had some older books behind the counter if I was interested. It was a nice selection of Silver Age books but most were in low grade condition with high grade prices. That is until I spotted this book, my jaw dropped and I paid as fast as I could and practically ran out of the store. Sometimes Craigslist postings do pan out.

I've always loved the DC Whitman's, brings back great memories when I was a kid. Below is my latest acquisition and it took me a while to find it. Gotta love Sgt. Rock.
-
Here is a scan of the advert from Maxx #4 for anyone interested. Below that is my copy of the Maxx #3 Blue Ashcan (#29/500). For the life of me I can't remember where I got it but it must have been at a convention. I'm pretty sure it was in a 3/$1 or $0.50 box.

I picked up 5 copies each of the Batman and Robin #15 and Detective #15 Newsstand at Books-A-Million. Both are also available at Barnes & Noble near me. The Nightwing #14 was still on the shelves when I looked yesterday so I will be checking back later this week for Nightwing #15.

I have been lurking on the boards for a while now and I really enjoy this thread. I try to hit flea markets/garage sales/book stores as often as I can to look for treasures. I have had some success recently. Got the New Mutants and Miracleman books at a local flea market for $20 combined. Got the last issue of Savage Sword of Conan for $5 at a Half-Price Books store...and the search continues

Purchased Amazing Spider-Man #303 Shan Lon variant from me. Payment was super fast and communication was great.
