Bellrules may be the greatest hunter of rare Whitmans out there. I think he has a time machine, and keeps going back to 1980 to find them. I can't add any info regarding the issues in question. My collection holds only BBvUS #s 1-8. All are Gold Key editions. I've never pursued Whitman over GK in most of my Disney titles collecting, nor have I ever specifically searched for BBvUS #s 9-12.

Popular Post bellrules Posted September 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2023 Oddly enough I saw that article about the #11 years ago, and I can confirm that they do exist. I managed to pick up 3 copies about 8 years ago just in case they were actually rare. Glad I did I guess. I don’t have picture on my phone but I’ll try to dig them up.

bellrules Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 So I went through my rare Whitman boxes and I did not store the Beagle Boys issues with the rest of these so they are mixed into the rest of the collection. ( I didn’t think they were correctly classified as 8-80 to 12-80 rare Whitmans) Unfortunately I can’t do much lifting at this point so I cannot dig them out but I did find a pic I sent a friend at the time I picked them up. (Looks like there were only two copies) I also found a pic of a sealed pack that contained beagle boys 12 Whitman. It came with Donald Duck 221 which is a rare Whitman from 1980.

Since I’m off work at the moment due to I jury, decided to hop into my Time Machine and check out a shop I usually avoid and found this. It’s yours for the selling price (plus shipping) if you want it. (There was no #10 unfortunately) PM me if you do.

If you say the name of a scarce Whitman issue three times into a mirror, @bellrules will find a copy. bellrules and OtherEric 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
