I was in a thrift store or something (go figure) and found one in its plastic-wrapped glory.

In fact, in my dream I was going to check to see if they were ones I already had. (Do you guys remember adjusting the sealed plastic bags to see the middle comic?) I'm always practical.

I seem to recall that they were all a mixed bag. You may get a Superboy and the Legion, but the other two books were as likely as not to be Witching Hour, or Young Romance. About a year ago, there was a person on ebay who was selling original unopened paks. Had like 100 lots of more. I bid on a few, but did not get any. Like digests, they all went for way more than I am willing to pay. The funny thing is, as I remember it, Whitman's were the bastard stepchilden of most legitimate collections. I had a few and could not unload them quick enough for the "real" versions. I guess that is why they are considered such collectors items today.

Overstreet sez: collectors may prefer one label over the other, the Price Guide does not differentiate in the price. I'd not heard that there was a market (or interest, or whatever) for the Whitmans. Is there anything different about them other than the cover indica changes? Ahh, three-packs. I'm having flashback to 1979 or so. Discount stores. The figure $1.19 sounds about right. I wasn't reading superhero comics at the time though. I saw some packaged comics at the airport not too long ago. Don't get too excited though...they were Image (or similar), two for four bucks. Ewww!

Somewhere in that time-frame. -------------------- Visit the FULL FRONTAL FANDANGO & laugh along with Lash at http://lashlaugh.wordpress.com/ Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Thriftshop Debutante Terrifyingly On-Topic. posted                       Mine are 245, 247, 251, 253.
