I'm pleased to see all the responses here! I never knew about some of these covers - like Superman/Batman #65 - until now.

 

I fear something of a monster has been created now. Now I cannot get this cover out of my head:

Shiny... :o

 

Then there is Batman #492: Platinum Edition.

Not quite as appealing as the Green Lantern or Superman #75, but still, there is something about this one...

From what I have read on multiple sites and postings from others, the consensus is that this Platinum Edition was limited to 10,000 copies, sent only to dealers and retailers (noted in Overstreet). I've also read on a few posts that retailers only received one platinum edition for every 100 copies of Superman #75 ordered. All of this sounds reasonable, but I cannot confirm this. I also vaguely recall in one of the letter columns in a Superman issue after #75, which printed readers' responses to Superman #75, DC Comics sending platinum editions of Superman #75 to those who wrote exceptional responses.

 

I found this image on a great thread, shedding some light on the distribution of this platinum edition.
