Warlord Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I love Whitman variants, in fact, I'll probably try to put together a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlord Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 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. Nice score on a real HTF one!! Just saw an ebay bidding war end recently on a low grade DCW DCCP #10 (Sgt Rock & Superman) that brought over $40! It's a tough issue but still that surprised the heck outta me!

Jeffro. Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Anyone ever put together a scarcity index on individual issues and sealed packs? Kinda like what Doug Sulipa did for GK/Whitmans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlord Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Anyone ever put together a scarcity index on individual issues and sealed packs? Kinda like what Doug Sulipa did for GK/Whitmans? I really couldn't imagine a scarcity list for the sealed packs. With one or two exceptions there have been only a few that have popped up for sale more than 2-3 times over the many years I've been watching. So essentially about 95% of all the packs that you see are scarce! There are 5 packs that I've seen but that I don't have in my collection. Some days you snipe the other guy, some days the other guy snipes you. For the individual issues I've never seen an attempt made at the whole set. In general I'd advise that the Superman, Action, and Brave & Bold issues plus maybe Batman are most common - about what you'd expect where the more popular the title character, the more common the book. There are rare exceptions even among those titles of the most common issues of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epowe10097 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Middle comic is DC Comics Presents # 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlord Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Legion 266 B&B 165 Middle comic unknown That's a nice one! DCCP #19 is correctly noted above as the middle comic. Three medium-HTF comics in it make that a great pack! Here's a look at the pack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlasFan Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) These Whitman bagged books were great.

Warren Oates Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 These Whitman bagged books were great. I remember throwing as many of these as I could into the cart when my mom took me shopping at Caldors! Caldor I think the Minnesota equivalent was Alco, Shopko, or Pamida ,,earlier maybe Gibsons and woolworths. Most of which are all gone. I can remember buying some 3 packs at the local Ben Franklin, toy dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffro. Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 When I bought that pack a few years ago, the seller had more. I think I only paid about $25 or $30 for it. Should have bought more of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
