    !@#$% cool man! Congrats on the Doomsday! I bought tons of those sets back in the day too. There were Marvel ones also. I do remember having a DC Universe logo Nightwing #2 but............I.......(ahem)......sold all my....um....DC books a long time ago 😓

    Since these are not market timing dependent right now, go with CGC for the grading. If these were spec books that are hot right now. I would go with CBCS since they are faster.

  • @ludotoyhunter8492
    @ludotoyhunter8492 3 роки тому +2

    Dc universe logos will only be on books that were printed in 1993 and later. Even if you have a book originally released earlier than 93, the printing of it was probably done in 93 (like man of steel 18). Some marvel comics are like that too (hulk 377 3rd print is a good example) where the actual book was released in 91 or 92 but the print version (3rd, 4th or whatever) came later like 93 or 94. Hulk 377 3rd print has a wwf raw video game ad on back which shows the 1994 copyright date showing that they printed the books in 94. There are other books like that like the ultra rare superboy 9 or the flash 92 dc universe logo variants. Both have different back covers than their original run 1st print predecessors.

    • @MintHunterComics
      @MintHunterComics  3 роки тому

      I actually had a 1st app of impulse with the logo back in the day - I read it to death. Literal death - I think we had the throw it out from water damage and it was missing the cover after long. I wish I knew better as a kid

  • @janjohnson7969
    @janjohnson7969 3 роки тому +2

    When I collected comics, never heard of a second printing? And your going nutz over a 5th? you only told me the value of 1 comic this whole video. When those comics came out there were so many already no body could sell then at .25 cents ea. TMNT were the first comic I heard of and the G.I.Joes to go to a 2nd printing. We thought then, it was the beginning of the end for good comics. The silver age is gone forever? Nice to see you kids enjoying what was once considered more than the @5 cent box.

    • @MintHunterComics
      @MintHunterComics  3 роки тому

      I know right? On the surface some of these would be 25 cent books but that rare variant makes em so much more. Plus it's cool for me personally as it was these collector sets that got me into comics! 9 times out of 10 second printing and beyond are almost worthless, but there's something about 1992-96 where second prints and up are the most desirable!

    Funny story of how I got into hunting dcu logos was at an antique mall had a sale and a booth had this really nice section of comics, I found a nightwing #2 I dig the cover and the logo looked super cool but didn't want to pay $6. When I got home I did research and the book is worth over $120 but the pandemic hit when I had the chance to go back and it was gone when things were reopened

    • @MintHunterComics

    CBCS > CGC - The slabs are just nicer, sturdier, no newton rings, fewer errors, cheaper, thinner (fit more in a box that way), etc... Just a better product at the moment. I know some people don't like the label, but that's partly due to this notion that a white box for the grade is necessary (it's not), and also because CBCS designed their label so as to not draw attention from the book.
    On the resale thing, if people stopped selling CBCS for less than CGC, then that would basically be a non-issue

    Nice video for sure but you do know that only the Death of Superman pack is the only Toys ‘R’ Us one. The rest are from Caldor. When I started watching the video I said to myself I don’t remember seeing all those packs at TRU. I mean I worked there from 1986 until it closed in 2018, so l’m sure I would have remembered them. I mostly remember is selling 25 and 50 pack random comics and very few set reprints. But still some good stuff in there my friend.

      Caldor/Walmart packs have them as well! typically the "DC Universe" logo ones are found mostly in the Toys R Us ones. - I think 3 of these were actually the "Caldor" packs

    Love this video. I remember buying comic packs at tru and walmart. At walmart, I got the spawn pack that came with both spawn/batman team ups. Also got spiderman/batman team up but I forgot what other books came in the pack. At toys r us, I remember get the wolverine pack which came with #88 89 90 and 100...then there was an xmen pack that came with #25 hologram aka magneto pulls wolverines adamantium out of his body. Congrats on the 5th print doomsday!

    I came across two books in my collection that have the "DC Universe" logo on it. One was Action Comics #700 (white box) and the other Detective Comics (Batman) #675 (silver box). Coincidentally, both are labeled as "Premium Edition" in the top left price box. For the #675 - I actually had it x2 signed - one being Kelly Jones. None of my "Death of Supes/Doomsday" books have the logo, but many are Newsstand editions.
    BTW - I did notice on only one of the "Reign of Supermen" copies I have - in the logo box, it has "Super3". What can you tell me about that one-off logo?
    Cool video...thanks for enlightening me. I never new the origination of that "DC Universe" logo. Now I do. 😊
    Be safe.

      Evidently, I am now also discovering that this logo is also on many "Zero Hour" books, but not as a logo box, but on the cover in the upper top-right corner. I have come across six (6) Zero Hour books that have the logo. Most, but not all, look to be Newsstand variants.
      And while lookimg for the logo, I also found a WW #91 to have it as well. NICE!
      I may have to start looking for the variant more astutely.
