I have a graded copy of Green Lantern #49 coming my way, not a DCU variant but it prompted me to pull this from my childhood collection.

I saw a 9.8 of this second printing but it was over $500. The book is no longer available and I don’t know if it sold or not. I would love to have this DCU in 9.8, but not for that price. My copy looks like a possible 9.4, not bad for a book I got as a kid and read.

Here's a thought . . . be happy with a very nice 9.4. (thumbsu

There is a TON of great information compiled here! Thank you all! I am currently working on a set started in the 90's and stashed away. Sad a few years ago sold off some of my packs not understanding what was contained inside of them. Now trying to track down more to replace what I let go.

So where can someone find the complete list of DCU ? I found 3 in one of my comic boxes.

Superboy # 13 

Superman in Action Comics # 701

Legionnaires # 22

Just wondering if they are worth anything or if someone needs them for there set ?

Wow, nice haul.

Anything new to you for your PC?

Thanks! Some may be upgrades, but I don’t think I was missing any of these. They’re uncommon enough that they should be good trade fodder.

I think this was mentioned earlier -- RMA specifically -- but I would love to know how these packs were ordered/distributed. Obviously DC printed the comics, but who packaged them? Who designed/made the packaging? How were they distributed? Where were the comics stored?

This is completely from memory, so I may be very wrong, but when I was working at a comic shop around the time these were first distributed (mid-90s), stores could order the "Best of" packs from Diamond, but I don't think they were part of the DC section. I would love to search through old Previews from those years and see if they have them listed somewhere as being available from a different company. 

Obviously not all of these packs were available to stores through Diamond, but some of them were.

plus one 10-pack brick, and numerous two-packs (there are various two packs for sale on ebay at any given time).  And some of those bagged sets that can be seen just a few posts above this one.  The rarest DCUs seemed to come from the 2-packs.   

p.s.  We are almost sure it exists, but those of us on the boards who search for these have never seen the 20-pack that contained the DCUs that were cover dated March 1994.   If anyone ever finds that one, we would love to hear about it.

I doubt Costco was selling the 2 packs -- that's a price-point they wouldn't be interested in. And they had to be selling the 20-packs in more places than just there. In 1995 (according to their timeline), Costco had 200 stores (today they have 770), and I don't know how big their geographic coverage was back then.

I would love to hear from someone at DC that set up this program.

Warlord -- you are amazing.   You have found the "missing link".  :applause:    (worship)    

Now if you or someone else could produce the 3-pack of Batman 445/446/447, that would just be icing on the cake.
