| Newsstand versus direct edition. Newsstand has the lines in the barcode area and direct has the spidey head. | ||

| @ONLINE_209 - Like @manfred_spain said. They go together (the upper and lower boxes) like peanut butter and jelly. Check out copies on ebay and you will see both versions. | ||

| The CC is for Curtis Circulation, who distributed to newsstands. Since they are US only, they only have US pricing. Direct has both US and UK. | ||

| The upper corner frame accompanies the different versions accordingly. Newstand has the cc version you mentioned and just the US price. Can't recall what cc stands for though. The direct version has the diamond price layout with US and UK prices.. | ||

| I have a couple of questions then. I understand NEWSSTAND and DIRECT EDITION but I don't know if one is more valuable then the other and was NEWSSTAND copies sold in comic book stores and DIRECT EDITION sold in 7-11's and drug stores? |

| Newsstand issues were sold in grocery stores and 7-11 type stores, and Direct edition books were only available initially in comic type shops. Up until 2000 there isn't really a difference in value between newsstand and direct editions, but after 2000 the newsstand editions have a lower print run each year that goes by until they were no longer being sold. That creates some perceived extra value for those. The higher value, though, is to a smaller sub-set of collectors who collect newsstand editions. |

| Manfred_Spain has certainly taken us to school and much appreciated, however I would disagree with the up until 2000 statement. Having owned a LCS, I would put the drastic difference of printed copies between newsstand and direct started in the early nineties. A good example is Spiderman #1 gold. Just my 2 cents...nuff said. | ||
