Comprehensive List of DC Universe Logo UPC Variants 20 20

[L.E. Gill]

Judging by the logo print colors it's got Superman #75 Third Printing and Adventures of Superman #498 Fourth Printing (which should be the DCU).  The only set of these I ever opened had no DCUs in it, but this one has a fair chance of having one or two more of the harder ones given the front facing one.

The last set like this that sold on ebay sold for $506 plus shipping. 

That said the only version of this pack that I have opened is the one with the 4th print of 75 and the 4th 498 reverse.  I have opened 2 of these packs. 

both of these packs had these 

However the rest of the contents were different for each. 

They were 

so from what I have opened the contents vary from pack to pack.

 

if they do open It please ask them to take pictures and share. Although I would keep them sealed.

I still have at least 1 of each variation of the dual and single packs.

 I knew some of the answer, but also knew if we just waited we would have a much better answer. 
 Thank you both for sharing!

There's nothing too special in there if I recall, but  it is a cool set to have.   I'm amazed that it sold for $506.

Here is what one YouTube video says about the rare and the ghosts of the DCU variants. What does this community here think? 

I had not seen that video.... even though dated and a little off base, it was fun to watch.   Thanks!!

This is an older video that uses not only a LOT of wild speculation (and hype) , but they are using the other board information that is also very out dated.  So far the most complete and comprehensive list is this discussion here. 

Agreed.  This is the definitive place to get a list of all known DCU's.   Thanks @revat.   I fondly remember Revat reaching out to me back in 2014 to get a listing of every DCU variant that I knew of.    The grandfather of this list was Jerome Wenker, who started keeping a list several years before 2014 on a Word document.  I feel honored that Jerome shared his information with me (I recall he was very secretive at the time, believing his list of promos and variants had monetary value... so I kep the promise and have not distributed it).

I'm happy to be a part of this fun collecting sidequest, especially one that I think is easy entry/accessible to all varieties of collectors.

Wisely spoken.
Thank you so much for starting this and tirelessly keeping up with it. I know for me has really opened up an area of collecting that has been a lot of fun, educating and at times very frustrating!

Thank you, everyone, for your help with this.

I have contacted the owner but no reply. I didn't know if this contained the elusive 499 3rd print.

[Brandon Shepherd]

Just arrived!

This copy is beautiful!

Jerome shared early copies of his list with me.  I'm thinking we starting interacting about DC Whitmans and then expanded our conversation to include all of DC's "dratted variants". Anyway, way back when I provided sporadic updates to him about a few DCUs when I spotted them to help with his research.  The most current Word doc of Jerome's that I kept has a date stamp of 4/27/2012.

This thread reminds me of the some of the YouTube videos I’ve been watching lately about new sightings of animals believed to have gone extinct.

Finding the thylacine, a.k.a. the Tasmanian tiger is like finding Aquaman #2, DCU variant!

I kid, I kid.

I’ve opened three of the Doomsday packs and two of the Funeral packs, including one Doomsday pack with Superman 75 3rd Print on top… I never got lucky enough to get the pack with the 77 or MOS 20 DCU’s… from what I understand the 499 3rd DCU is only in the two-pack.

The prices on these got insane over the past couple years and I don’t waste my time bidding anymore.  I also found that a lot of times the books have impacted corners or foxing… super fun to open though!

Good luck!

I watched the video and noticed this book in it. (I don’t think I’ve posted this here before). The seller told me he pulled it from an “Enor Corp 50 Pack” but I have zero knowledge about that pack.  Anyone?

My interest in this book was more Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot (for my wife) but the DCU was a huge plus! I had submitted the direct myself!

Spoiler

P.S. both of these are still the lone 9.8’s

Here's the story on the ENOR Corp 50 pack for you, @Iconic1s.   I think it is a super rare pack and I don't know who distributed it for sale.   Here's some images of a pack that I picked up about 9 years ago.   It had an assortment of DC and Marvel books.   I think the comics were random overstock.  There were DCU's, newsstands and direct sales comics in the pack.

Wow!  That’s pretty amazing!  Thank you for the information!  It’s interesting that these contained both Marvel and DC books… I had searched pretty extensively but couldn’t find any info on these packs so this is much appreciated!

I also managed to pick up one of the Enor 50 packs a few years ago.  This had to have been some kind of warehouse overstock being packaged for sale (could it be related to all the Marvel Heroes World DC/ Diamond distribution issues in the mid 90s?)-- same company also put out the "5 Collectible Comics" various Superman sets you see from time to time which contain various newsstand/DCU/direct copies from typically Reign of Superman and on titles.  I can take a few photos of the few 5 packs I have if anyone is interested.  

In terms of the Enor 50 pack, I consider myself to have been extremely fortunate in the ratio of DCUs/multipacks I received out of the total (39 of 51, I think) as well as having gotten some harder DCUs in the package.  I believe the one unpacking video I watched on Youtube only had about 12 out of 50 in their pack, so YMMV. My set also had 51 comics in it, with an extra copy of Ghost Rider Midnight Sons #28 Newsstand Polybag.  For what it is worth, the seller told me they picked the 50 pack up at a Wegman's Store.

Here's what was in my particular 50 pack:

Adventures of Superman DCU #537

Robin #32 DCU

Batman #521 DCU

This pack was also why I thought Action Comics #723 DCU was a myth for the longest time (it's not!), lol.  I've only included a few photos here but if you want to see the entire pack, you can view the album here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/P1wXWpXcDum2sTGw5. Please let me know if the album doesn't work for some reason and I will fix it.

Extremely awesome; I have a 9.6 DCU that was graded prior to CGC recognizing DCUs, and even that one is off-white to white.  Congrats on such an amazing copy!
