Whitman DC Variant Appreciation Thread
6 6

274 posts in this topic

Hi all

I posted this in the Accurate DC Whitman list thread but think it might be more appropriate here.  Not anything I collect but I picked up 21 DC Whitman variants.  I think they average mid-grade.  Not really looking to sell but it was an impulse bid so I am curious if there is any premium for these in this condition.  I am almost certain I tremendously overpaid since looking through these threads, nothing seems particularly HTF.

And I am sure it is most likely in this thread but some have the strikethrough UPC code while most have the Superman logo there.  Is there a difference in rarity in these?

There’s a bit of premium over the standard versions on those issues. Very nice find!

There's no difference in the Superman logo or not in the UPC box.   It's just something that changed over time.

Most of the Superboy, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Action issues are relatively common to very common in low grade.  The exceptions in your lot are the white/clear logo issues.  However many of the Green Lantern, DCCP, and Super Friends issues from your lot are a bit tougher on the HTF scale.   And for all DCWs, the icing on the cake is getting them in higher grades and you've done well on that measure.  I agree with the previous comment, it's a nice lot so maybe you didn't do too badly.

Thanks so much for the information.

My 2nd copy of this harder to find Whitman DC variant.  A local comic shop had a Black Friday sale yesterday where all $1.00 comics were $.25 each.  Found it in one of those boxes.  :cloud9:

Pressing it as we speak....
