I have found this interesting. Its floated around for years. I'm assuming its accurate. Previously discussed link on Newsstand vs. Direct: clickable text |

| So in the 80's when I had a bunch of Marvel subscriptions delivered by mail were those newsstand or direct? | ||

| One thought is that it's easier to label the book as either newsstand or direct as not to miss a notation. The only thing to come into question would be the multi-pack books. Technically, I think those would be direct editions, but I think the cgc has started labeling them as multi-pack editions. |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| All I know for sure is I use his son's (David wilson) at collectors comics service all the time. His Featured Auctions 4 times per year with only 5% commission is exceptional to me |

Iām at SDCC preview night and PSA has some of the slabs on display. I was able to handle the cases. They are surprisingly heavy. They have an inner well that has an almost frosted appearance to them and they hold the book securely in place. Overall, I really liked the case but the weight canāt be dismissed if youāre planning on carrying any number of them with you |

| @poka Not really larger, at least not noticeably. They are just surprisingly heavy and they feel sturdy. They feel more āassembledā than the CBCS cases, which have a smoother, unibody feel to them. They feel like an iphone 4 compared to the CBCSā iphone 6, if that makes any sense | ||

| Let them enter the game. Mortal kombat added how many ninja characters over the years but everyone still out here playing as scorpion or subs. |

| @poka Iād like to think Iām fairly accustomed to the weight of a graded comic in hand but itās hard for me to quantify. I was surprised by the weight. If I had to guess, Iād say they were maybe 25% heavier at most. | ||

| Curious about their pricing. I wonder if they'll try and undercut competitors or just blend right in. | ||

| So is that book a Silver Surfer# 1 or is it Kith # 3 or something else? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Nearmint67 The label says Keth #3, silver Surfer variant. So I would assume that's what it is. But I don't know anything about it other than what it says. |
