Is there a CPG listing for Flash Gordan The Movie Whitman Variants 3-pk bag sealed?

The bag contains 3 comics. I can identify 2 of them:
#31 - 90148-103 and #33 -90148-105.
Thank you.

(it's Gordon, not GordAn) ...they're under the 1978-1982 series, https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/flash-gordon/ukxv , under #'s 31,32,33, as 'movie adaptation', with the Whitman logos.

Thank you. And noted spell correction.
I saw the individual issues listed. I did not see a value for the sealed 3-pk bag.

and you won't find a value for the 3 pack bag in most if not all price guides. You can try looking in Overstreet at a bookstore or comic shop, but I doubt they will list the bag pack either. Only other way is to bookmark a search on that auction site and anywhere else that lists the pack and see what it actually SELLS for, and it may vary wildly, although I don't think most care about Flash Gordon, and even less for a movie adaptation. Same goes for the newer Walmart packs etc, most guides only list the individual books, otherwise it's usually still the bag's cover price, as many times they are reprints or fairly worthless moderns repackaged for non-comic book retail stores. The bags don't make much, if any difference in price, so just add up the singles prices and figure half that in the real world unless you see them selling for near guide.

There were tens of thousands of Whitman comics sold in three packs back in the day (late 1980's through early 2000's) .I picked up some containing Ripley's Believe it or Not.

The bag has no value and the three pack set has no value.(This is the exception to the rule of keeping the original packaging). In fact - it is a detrimental because the bag seals in the out-gassing - fading the interior pages.

Respectfully suggest you need to get out of the bag and put in a correct bag and board. The sooner it is out the the 3-pack bag the better the condition will be. It will only get worse if left in there!!!
