Another note on the UPC codes. 

The 6th print Newsstand is the first printing that uses a barcode and only one I have seen on the front cover.  All other printings, with a barcode, are on the back cover.
There were no UPC codes used on the Direct Editions until the 8th printing.
9th and 10th printings used the same UPC code.
The 8th and 9th Direct editions have a code that correlates to the printing (118 = 8th, 119 = 9th)
The 11th and 12th Direct editions have a code that correlates to the printing (121 = 11th, 122 = 12th)
The 13th Direct Edition has a code that, using the correlation on 11th and 12th prints, that should technically correlate to the 14th printing (124 = 13th instead of 14th printing)
The 14th printing and the "DC Direct Edition" have the same barcode.  
CGC calls some 14th prints as the DC Direct Edition, but, they are wrong as I showed in another thread.  Got no response from CGC about it.

Hi aszumilo - as you look to be the leading authority on this book and it’s versions… 1st thanks for the research- I quite littering stumble across this because I bought an 11th printing and noticed the UPC nbr was drastically different from my other prints with an UPC

Can you tell me please the difference in the 14th print - I have the figures new in box with that print but don’t want to open it to look at that edition - I ordered a 14th printing separately and the back has the DC Direct Joker & Harley Quinn advertisement and the the UPC says Direct Sales $5.99

i just purchased a 11th print direct sales and all I need or thought I needed is a 9th & 10th to complete my set.  That was of course until I learned I also need a 6th & 13th newsstand 

thanks
