Gold Key Sealed comics Questions--Help

[xsquealx-migration]

I recently happened upon a sealed pack of 3 gold key comics. I havent seen anything like this before. Its there anyway to tell what number the comics are? Is there a separate listing in price guides for these? Any help would be greatly appreciated. There is a Bugs Bunny comic, a Walt Disney Comics and Stories comic, and a third comic that is in the middle that I cant see. Any clues? Included are two scans of them.

I don't know much about the Gold Key 3-paks, but if this was one of the rare pre-pack only Whitmans (circa 1980 I believe) it could be worth a a tidy sum.

This is more like a 1975 or 1976 pack. If you go to GCD and indentify one of those comics, then I'd be happy to guesstimate the others for you using the Krause Standard Guide.

Dead on. It's issue 407 of WDC&S. Has a Barks story reprint.

You buy it raw unknown, raw as variant, in a 3-pack, or already slabbed?

Raw from J & S from their raw Random House file copies. I only saw one other one offered by them and none slabbed ones from Heritage so there shouldn't be that many around. I made a thrill bid when I was bored and won it accidentally. Hopefully it does half decent when it gets listed this Saturday. I don't expect US 179 or Little Lulu 261 numbers though.

 

P.S. J & S didn't market it as a variant but someone on the boards posted a link to it.

Just remember to include that Sulipa and the Whitman community now states that it is THE rarest Whitman pre-pack comic, well ahead of those two books.

[greggy]

Yup, I've done that already.

Good luck with the auction Greg. It will be interesting to see how it does. I know that the market for these books dropped last year due to a source with multiple copies popping up.

 

A couple of years ago I picked up almost all of the books in VG to VF condition, including US #179 for $0.50 apiece from a LCS that had them lumped in with the rest of their Disney books. It was only a FN copy but still fetched a few hundred dollars. (thumbs u

3 copies on ebay right now. Of course, none that nice though. Still I wonder how it can be considered the rarest whitman..

nonsense! I wish you the best of fortune selling it, I was just doubting Sulipa's claim. Of course, that may have been true when he wrote it, and some have cropped up since.
