The Whitman Thread
As suggested in another thread (by @OtherEric), perhaps it's time a for a general Whitman thread. There are a few threads that have popped up over the years, but maybe we can start one that brings everything together - from rare finds, to the population of the 8-12/1980 books, to scarce color and price variants, to DC Whitmans, to which books were in which packs, to discussions about whether "fat diamond" Marvels are all Whitmans, etc. Maybe even for trading some Whitmans between enthusiasts?

However, the remaining UK Price Variants for June 1979 all have slashed barcodes like so:
