Doomsday "Collectors Set"

[Robot Man]

Hi Modern guys! I'm pretty much a GA poster but ran into something kind of weird to me and figured you fellows could maybe give me some info.

 

Last weekend I ran into this Doomsday sealed "Collector's Set" It looks to have 20 "Doomsday" comics and a poster sealed inside. It doesn't list what books are inside just a bunch of titles. I figured it might be some thing decent with the "Death of Superman" book showing.

 

Can anyone tell me what is in here and if there is anything good? First one I've run into and thought it looked interesting. Is it worth opening or should I leave it alone?

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The later printings, which these seem to be, have their own collecting niche. Someone who knows about this stuff will chime in shortly, I'm sure.

This looks to be a set of all major DC titles cover dated January, 1993. Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, etc. A cool set, I used to get these at Toy R Us as a kid, it was fun opening up and stacking all those comics!

Yes, the later printings are sought after by certain collector's, myself included. I myself would remove them from the pack, and bag and board them. If you have a nice copy of MOS 17/18 later printings in there, it definitely has a little value.

This thread will tell you way more than you wish to know.

There's a thread in copper that I started last summer when I opened one of these up and posted the exact contents. There's nothing else in there than what you see on the top. Also some of the books you can't see can be heavily damaged by the piece of bristol board you can't see in the middle to give the pack some "strength" and help keep its "shape"

You wouldnt happen to have found that in Medford, Oregon maybe?

I'd think the sealed pack would be worth more than the sum of its parts, personally.

This particular pack is one of the more common ones that you can find still sealed. They can be had on EBay for $20-$25 with nary a problem.

Thanks guys. I didn't want to open it to see. Looks like some weird books in there. I have no idea what the printings are or how to tell. Sounds like it doesn't matter. I just thought it looked cool.

 

And no, I didn't get it in Medford, OR
