I don't doubt that I did buy a Whitman pack somewhere with this issue in it, particularly if I missed this one at the newstand. I was living in a town with no comic shop in 1979 and purchased my comics at stores like 7-11. If you missed an issue you had the devil of a time finding it later. Wonder what the other Marvels were in the Whitman packs the seller was offering on eBay? They may be the exact ones I have in my collection.

I've had this fairly decent copy of X-Men 118 in my collection since it was published in 1979. Was this variant sold only in a Whitman pack? My memory is not what it used to be but I know it was almost like a scavenger hunt in those days to find copies of missed issues. I have a few other Marvel issues from the same time period such as an issue of Thor and the Avengers that have the same blank space in the UPC box. Were those all sold only in Whitman pre-packs?
