bellrules Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I think that someone must have the research and yes they should be identified. Hopefully soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I managed to pick up 2 more Whitman issues today that are considered "scarce" - Donald Duck #225 and Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #484. Found them at an antique mall in Lena, Illinois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flee-Marquette Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Here are some Whitmans still in the bags. Most of these are the last issues of that series circa 1982. For example the Turok is #130, Doctor Solar is #31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juggernaut Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Here are a few Whitmans that I have had over the years. I have more but I just got to find and scan them. I sold a few of these last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehumantorch Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Just found a Black Hole (Beyond The) #3 in one of my boxes. Approx. value and rarity? Grade is 8.5 but would probably press to 9.2. Not that I've ever pressed a comic. Edited October 13, 2009 by thehumantorch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellrules Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) 1 to 3 are common, 4 is the only rare one in the title. Here's a scan of one still sealed in the bag. Edited October 13, 2009 by Bellrules1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found them at an antique mall in Lena, Illinois. I was wrong on these. It ends up that both are just considered "uncommon". These issues under the price variants ARE considered scarce though. Doesn't matter... they're still worth a lot more than I paid for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidcolt Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Interesting, I have that Popeye Mooduc issue at home. Is it really rare, do it carry any value? Here are some of the rarer ones. Edited October 13, 2009 by kidcolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwpassage Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Only Whitman I could find. Low grade, and not on the list, story of my entire collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicalgems Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 This thread makes me want to rush down to the LCS with all the cheap Whitmans and scoop them up. But then I remember that even if they are pristine they're still worth like $5.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Anyone have this one? I can't find a listing for it in the Overstreet. Give ya a quarter. It might be under Walt Disney's Peter Pan or something like that? I know the Cinderella issue I bought for my daughter had a weird name like that.

Shark Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Anyone have this one? I can't find a listing for it in the Overstreet. That particular issue is considered scarce. The 75 cent price variant for that same issue is considered rare. Here's a link to Doug Sulipa's website listing those issue which are rare, scarce and uncommon: Doug Sulipa's Whitman Comics Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
