It will be interested if you remove it and you may see the colorful ring around the corners.  Plan to remove it from the frame?   Just stick with it?

Look!!! Lol

I think the price difference between direct and newsstands are mostly because of youtubers. When they find a newsstand from 80's or early 90's they always point out that it is a newsstand copy but don't talk anything about the ratio back then. Then when they find a newsstand from 2000's they always mention how rare they were back then compare to direct copies. 

Very great information!!! Thank you!!!

From what I've observed from buying and selling the last couple of years the newsstand vs direct price variance is growing somewhat rapidly. If I had to guess I'd say this will probably continue but of course idk for sure.

Thank you very much.  I appreciate it

I don't think so.  It is already so faded that I am not even worried about it honestly.  But yeah,  that would be interesting to see if it was my fault

My opinion for a book from 1988 it really does not matter if it's  a newsstand or direct.

Thanks.  I am really not a very huge collector per say. I collect a lot of memorabilia for growth potential that I think will do well. 

What are your thoughts about if there is currently any difference between the 2 now and in the future?

Thanks William

No. I got this like 10 years ago and honestly I cannot remember.  Sorry 

Hello everyone,  I am new to the chats so please forgive me if I ask ridiculous things.  I know a little,  but not as much as the people who are on here. 

I have a 9.4 ASM direct edition,  but my OCD is bothering me that I don't have a good copy of the newsstand version. 

Currently it is driving me crazy and I feel like that I need both.

What say you?

Thanks,  William

Is that book framed?  It looks like it was hanging for a long period time.

Yes. It's framed, but I can't remember if that was the way I purchased it many years ago or it turned that way

Go over to the Buddy can you spare a grade section.  Take a look at the sticky and post some pics.  You'll prob get several opinions on poss grades to help you make a decision. 

Sorry.  I am brand new here.  Didn't mean to post in the wrong section 

Should I even submit it, or not even bother?

Faded cover,  but overall decent 

Amazing Spiderman 300 newsstand,  faded cover but overall decent.
