I'd go with the Canadian. Since both CBCS and now, CGC, are listing the price variants on their labels, you will see demand for Canadian, UK and Australian price variants increase. I can't imagine that there is much of a price difference on a 9.8 to a 9.6 for a Thor #337, but I could be wrong. But if it is within a 10-15% difference, I'd say that the gap between a 9.6 Canadian and a 9.8 US will close and perhaps the Canadian will exceed in value over the next 5-10 years. Plus, it's fun to collect international editions!!!  Think of them as like a 1:10 variant and you get the general idea of why these are sought after by some and will be sought after by more. |

| Have a UK trip booked for later this year - looking forward to finding a few pence copies - just need to find some stores in the places we will be and to not interfere too much with the family trip!! Pretty sure no one wants to spend hours in a store going through comics!! | ||

@Jesse_O I was leaning towards the Canadian variant Because it's more rare, I made an offer for $540 on a 9.8, kinda wanted him to decline but he accepted. The Canadian variant is 499 obo. Not sure what he would have taken. I know I will kick myself 5-10 years from now. Here's the book I got |

| @Batman66 It's all good!!! There is no certainty that what I think will happen, will happen. I'm just speculating on what I have observed over the past few years. Collecting international editions and price variants has been a long overlooked area for comic book collectors. Now, with the ease of buying online from around the world and the growing awareness of these comics, I believe the demand for them will increase. With both CBCS and CGC labeling the type 1A price variants, I believe it is just a matter of time before the UK, Canadian and Australian price variants take off in value. But I'm happy you got yourself a great copy of the book at the price you wanted!!! I really don't think you can go wrong with that comic. |

One can definitely, without exception, determine the difference between a 9.8 and a 9.6. So definitely without exception the 9.8  My cup runneth over with sarcasm |

Quote:Originally Posted by Batman66 When given a choice pick the Canadian Price Variant over the US Newsstand or Direct version. The C.P.V. is always going to be scarcer and thus over time worth multiples of it's direct counterpart. It's the best way to invest going forward given how many Direct copies have been printed in the 1980's. |

| The only time price variants are worth more are on comics like Star Wars #1-4 and Iron Fist #14 and a few others. Most collectors don't even think about price variants unless they happen to come up upon one. More often than not, in the end, the highest graded copy and best page quality wins. Just my personal opinion. |

Quote:Originally Posted by GanaSoth I agree with what you said but I don't agree with the idea that only " a few others " are worth more (unless of course I misunderstood what you meant from that comment ...and if that was the case an apology would be in order). For example, Canadian " Price Variants" for books I listed below go for a big premiums when compared to direct copies sold (some go for 6-9 times the price). And the list I provided below is a small portion of hundreds of other C.P.V.'s that sold for far more money but I did not list. I also believe that collectors will quickly start realizing that books in the 1980's had much larger print runs when compared to the Canadian Price Variants . It would be better going for the Price Variants of that particular book because of the lower print runs...which translates to less in high grade on the census. This is why going forward I invest in Canadian, UK and Australian Price Variants.But to each his own right Alpha Flight 1 Alpha Flight 33 Archie's girls 321 ASM 238 ASM 239 ASM 252 ASM 265 ASM 275 ASM Ann 16 Avengers 257 Brave and the Bold 200 Batman 353 Batman 357 Batman 358 Batman 359 Batman 366 Batman 368 Batman 386 Batman 387 Batman 400 Batman 404 Batman 405 Batman 406 Batman 407 Batman 408 Batman 409 Batman 423 Blue Beetle 1 Booster Gold 1 Captain America 275 Cheryl Blossom 1 Cheryl Blossom 1 (Vol 2) Crisis 1 Crisis 3 Crisis 7 Crisis 8 Daredevil 196 Daredevil 197 Daredevil 233 Dazzler 33 DC Comics 87 Detective Comics 523 Detective Comics 524 Detective Comics 525 Detective Comics 526 Detective Comics 532 Detective Comics 566 Detective Comics 575 Detective Comics 576 Detective Comics 577 Detective Comics 578 Detective Comics 583 Droids 1 Elvira's House of Mystery 1 Elvira's House Of Mystery 11 Ewoks 1 Falcon 1 Fury of the Firestorm 23 Fury of The Firestorm 24 Fury of the Firestorm 28 Green Lantern 201 Ghost Rider 81 G.I.Joe 14 GI Joe 21 GI Joe 25 GI Joe 26 Hawkeye 1 Incredible Hulk 300 Jonah Hex 91 Jonah Hex 92 Justice League 1 Legends 1 Legends 3 Longshot 1 Marvel Movie Showcase 1 Marvel Movie Showcase 2 Marvel Graphic Novel 4 Marvel Tails 1 Marvel Team-up 141 Marvel Secret Wars 1 Marvel Secret Wars 8 Marvel Two In One Ann 7 Master of the Universe 1 Masters of the Universe 1 (Star Comics) New Mutants 1 New Mutants 26 New Teen Titans annual 2 Peter Porker Spectacular Spider-Ham 1 Punisher 1 Punisher 4 Punisher 5 Power Pack 1 Return of The Jedi 1 Rocket Raccoon 1 Spider-Woman 50 Smurfs 1 Spectacular Spider-Man 90 Star Wars 68 Star Wars 100 Star Wars 101 Star Wars 102 Star Wars 103 Star Wars 104 Star Wars 105 Star Wars 106 Suicide Squad 1 Swamp Thing 20 Swamp Thing 21 Swamp Thing 25 Swamp Thing 37 Swamp Thing 49 Swamp Thing 50 Swamp Thing Ann 2 Tales Teen Titans 44 Thing 1 Thor 337 Thor 338 Thor 339 Thundercats 1 Transformers 1 Transformers 2 Transformers 3 Transformers 8 Transformers 18 Transformers 19 Unknown Soldier 268 Web Of Spider_man 1 Wonder Woman 1 Wonder Woman 7 Wonder Woman 9 Wonder Woman 329 X-Factor 1 X-Factor 5 X-Factor 6 X-Men 164 X-Men 168 X-Men 201 *** There are literally hundreds of other books not listed above that sold for premiums (50 percent higher to several multiples higher ) |

| A Canadian X-Factor 6 - 1st app of Apocalypse sold for over $600 on Comiclink in 9.8. I am confident a 9.6 Thor 337 Canadian would be equal to a regular 337 if not more. If you see a Canadian Transformers 1 raw that looks like NM- or above, snatch it up. That one goes for a pretty penny as well. |

 My only Canadian price variant. It’s no 337, but it’s nothing to scoff at either. The ever so slightest spine tick and tiny scuff along the spine likely has it no higher than 9.6. If offered a 9.8 direct or US newsstand for this straight up I’d likely turn it down. Some day it’ll make its way to cbcs... |
