I just tried searching these on eBay, zip... 

Just have to refine search results . Here are two sellers with the currently cheapest price for the set on ebay.

It's all good. If I still had the two sets that I shared in the pictures,  I would have sent you one for free, but alas I sold those off a while back when i was reducing the massive stockpile of cards I had amassed.

This stuff piles up quickly. I snagged both of the sets in the links you posted, one to open, one to leave sealed.

Yes it definitely does. I don't blame you. Congratulations!

I picked this up on eBay for $10, still sealed and in really nice shape.

I first noticed this a few years ago on Fortress of Baileytude, a site maintained by an awesome Superman collector.

Part of the Better Than Ever campaign (1993), post Reign of the Supermen, this portfolio contains eight prints. I’m not sure if I’ll open mine yet but it is tempting.

Congrats on the pickup.  There is also a Dynamic Forces version that is signed.

I strike again!

Same eBay seller, no other bidders.

Keep it sealed!  There should be an opened one for sale sometime.  I've had mine open and framed for about 20 years now, and I'm guessing I have a sealed one stored away somewhere.

Outstanding sir!

I have the window decal for comic retailers.  (I think there was one in a really big shot of stuff on page 1, too.)

Just picked this up from Japan. Thought it was pretty cool.  Not sure if its available anywhere else.

Those are Medicom Toy Company Bearbricks. You will find them almost everywhere, but no matter where you find them they all came from Japan. Now if  only they made the 400% or 1000% Doomsday.. They do make a Superman 400/1000 but it is the Dawn of Justice version.

The set you got is pretty cool. Congratulations !

Found this for $5 this weekend. Looks like they're all first prints, so no cool or pricey variants. Still, for the price I thought it was neat. There ARE some trading cards as well as pogs, ahem, I'm sorry, "Skycaps", included, so naturally I'd expect this to be a $1k item shortly.

Not bad for $5 . This was one of the most distributed pack they did. Although this may never be something to retire off of if they look like 9.8 you could make decent money from them. As for the cards and skycaps.. well I guess anything is possible with the rise of deadpool "rookie" cards, but both have rarer versions. The Bloodlines promos had a no logo/ no numbered version ( not in this pack) and the skycaps had a blue backed version of the full set. Both of these would be the ones that I believe would pull more of a premium.  Still for $5 I would have probably picked it up as well.

I think the plastic has rounded the corners on the outside books over the years, so I doubt they'd even hit 9.4. I just figured for the price it was something I didn't see everyday. That's interesting to know about the promos and skycaps though, much appreciated!

This usually is the case with the packs. That is why some of the DC Universe Logo Variants in high grade command the prices they do. You are welcome.

Finally tracked mine down!  I still have some boxes of stuff I haven’t been able to get 100% sorted through yet. I had done several searches and this is one thing that was nagging me because I really like it but couldn’t locate it.  Not an expensive item but has some nostalgic significance to me. Got this when I was early in my collecting and it brings back some good memories. One last thing I really want to find and that’s my loose Kryptonian Battle Suit. I have one boxed but really want to display the loose one… and maybe also imagine I am a newly regenerated Superman on my way to Coast City…

I’m glad to see this thread get some action again.
