| @Belarak That top copy looks foiled. The bottom copy does not. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by TellEmSteveDave That's my question. If you get light and angle just right, you can make foil look pretty white, but this is a little extreme. Very curious to see if the cover really is missing the foil. |

| Look at my first 2 pictures, the 500 on the one is clearly silver and white on the other. but I will find them and take pictures of them together. | ||

| It looks like, if there is a difference, that Batman, Kinghtfall, and 500 are foiled on one copy and not on the other. | ||

 It's like the Roach Motel for comic collectors.

| But here you can buy a Batman #500 #6 : https://www.ebay.com/itm/255388382039 I can add it to my set of Batman #500 #1-#5. Several available from this seller. 30 years experience, and dumb for all of them. |

I'm trying to figure out what CBCS considers the Collector's Edition and the Direct Edition. Here is what CBCS census shows Here is my copy that lists it is a Direct but has die cut cover & postcards inside  CGC only lists the regular, Collector's Edition and 2nd Print on their census. |

| @griffmiester The Collector's Edition has a cover by Joe Quesada and the Direct Edition has a cover by Kelley Jones. Newsstand Edition would have the same Kelley Jones cover as Direct Edition. The one you have pictured is the Quesada cover. | ||

| I have to admit that I tried looking for the books to set them side by side but I cannot locate them as it got tiring trying to look through box after box. Sorry for my laziness. I do appreciate all the info that has been shared so far. Thank you @Byrdibyrd for sharing your knowledge. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by griffmiester Hadn't even bothered looking at the label. Oops. From what I'm seeing, there is the Collector's cover (Quesada) and that one has some signed DF editions but is otherwise the same cover. Then there's the non-Collector's cover (Kelley) that had a Direct Sales edition, a Newsstand edition, a 2nd printing, and polybagged versions of some or all of those. The Direct & Newsstand editions have the white Batman title that I'm seeing in the picture, and the 2nd printing has a purple Batman logo. You have something with a Quesada cover but the white title like a Kelley cover. That's just weird. I'm still thinking it's a printing error and maybe it got the 'Direct' label by mistake. It doesn't have the foil like a Collector's edition is supposed to have. |
