kidcolt Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Here are a few I found without having to search, maybe someone can tell me if any of these are rare or uncommon or any additional info one them. I will try and search out the reast of my Whitmans over the next few days. Popeye 158 (listed as #3 on the rare list?) Walt Disney comics and stories # 478 Woody Woodpecker 170 Uncle Scrooge 199 Uncle Scrooge 195 Can anyone give me additional info on the Popeye. How many are there, what they normally sell for?

MCMiles 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. Yeah, I checked all of those posibilities.

MCMiles 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 Thanks for the links. It will be helpfull. I bought a collection that has about 50 or Whitmans from the same time frame. It has most of the later (60 cent) pre pack issues, but none of the earlier rare issues.

Some of the later 60 cent pre-pack issues are highly collectible, especially those no date/code issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicwiz Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Here are some of the rarer ones. Folks, we now have one of the most knowledgeable Whitman collectors posting in this thread. (thumbs u Are you coming to the show at the Mayfield Hotel this Sunday? I concur - since the Whitman WTB post and this thread I've had several email exchanges with Bellrules1 and I'm glad to have chatted with such a knowledgeable collector!

bellrules Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Kidcolt, you should put up a scan of the Popeye 158. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcolt Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 As soon as I get my 8 year old in bed I will throw one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcolt Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) Not the highest grade but its a solid issue. Staples are tight with no rust, pages are fairly white. Too bad I didn't know it was rare as it has been just thrown in with my commons since I was a kid. I just but it in a bag a board for the first time. I am surprised that it is in such good shape. Too bad the cover wasn't in a little better shape. It actual presents a lot better in person. Seems like the light from the scanner really highlights the flaws on the cover.

In time, more collectors will catch on to their low availability and relative/scarcity and when that happens, low grade copies from the top 10 rarest will become highly collectible - especially because high-grade will be less available and out of reach in terms of value. I witnessed the very same thing happen with underground comix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianR Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 You guys realize that there is another whitman variant out there for some of the books besides the price. Here is a picture see if you can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianR Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 The yellow is the common while the white logos are harder to find. I don't think CGC even mentions this. Both the bottom issues in this lot have the white logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
