After much searching and GIFTS FROM YOU fans! I've got my hands on 8 Toys "R" Us and Walmart ORIGINAL UNOPENED DC Comic Sets from the 90s! This is all part of my Hunt for the Rare "DC Universe Logo UPC Variant" which were sold in these collector sets! I used to read these sets as a kid and they were my introduction to comics so this was very personal to me! Today we unbox these comic sets for the very first time ever and will be pressing, preserving and encapsulating these one of a kind rare variants forever.

Sadly it's GONE - the whole thing had to be sold when I was broke last year. Every single issue from vol I, II, III, and 4 and even the complete Nightwing and red robin runs. all annuals all everything. some slabs. Sold it all for only $1,000.

"For the right person, that is a key" Oh man thats such a mood I recently got the one comic i wanted when i started collecting comics again, it was the Third Eye Comics exclusive of Regular Show #1. Its not crazy rare, but i spent months keeping my eyes peeled for posts about it

@MintHunterComics 3 года назад

exactly. like showcase '94 issue 10 is one of my favorite comics but no one's ever heard of it. But to me it's gold

@savagerez4123 3 года назад

Great video, thank you. I have a Green Lantern #48-50 (Emerald Twilight) three-pack with the DCU logo, still sealed. Some other loose issues as well. I can't recall which pack had my Action #700 -- I think it came from Toys R Us. Anyway, I had some luck with Half Price Books a couple of years back, they had a very nice loose copy of SM/Doomsday: Hunter Prey #3 with DCU on the back cover, just $1.50. Good luck everyone in your search, these do turn up at times.

@UpTheDown7 3 года назад

As someone who has been hunting these logos for awhile now a lot of these are actually pretty common. Especially the #1's and most of the Aquaman's, Robin's, Superboy's and Supergirl's. But the rarest of the DC Universe logos are easily the most hard to find comics ever made. Not sure if you've already seen it but CBSI did a pretty good write up on them a couple of years ago. It has gaps and isn't conclusive but it's worth checking out of you haven't.

@MintHunterComics 3 года назад

Indeed indeed - I still wouldn't say they're "common" by any means but I do notice that when I do find them. -yes they tend to be Aqua, and Robin as well as Superboy. I like looking for the green lantern ones personally

@JLongNC 2 года назад

Thanks for doing this video! I'm a Marvel guy, so I had no idea about the DC Universe logo. I just checked my copy of Superman 18 that I bought at a thrift store a couple years ago...and it's a DC Universe logo! Not high grade, needs a press, but that's still super cool! Keep up the good work making your videos, man!

@robertweikel5796 3 года назад

What is the exact name of these packs? Maybe I keep missing it, idk, but I tried looking on ebay and Craigslist for the knightfall collection. I see the two packs. Im not so interested in trying to find the rare prints as the box sets themselves. I found a reign of Superman in a collection I bought but I'm a Batman collector and would love to get my hands on these Knightfall boxsets. Just need to know the right words for the search. Another awesome video!

@MintHunterComics 3 года назад

Type in "DC Collector Sets" but be careful of the ones not in any cardboard as they tend to never have the DC Universe logo - always get ones that have the cardboard covers

Yes, the covers back then are much better quality then today's. I hate that the covers now are so thin and wavey, not to mention what I call "spine peal" where the paper is literally pealing off at the cover fold at Staples. And believe it or not cgc will still give them a 9.8 if nothing else is wrong with it.
