    Wondered what? The corner boxes changed a few times around this time. They used the M for the price block on their Direct editions through the end of their 25th anniversary, then changed it along with the Marvel logo when that was over.

    Yep!

    Then then the newsstand and direct sale blocks matched.

    An apropos example for this thread:

    I've always wondered about the difference in the price blocks in this time period on several titles - insight anyone?

    Yes, but I have issues of the same comic, the same date, and in both newsstand and direct editions with the different price blocks  . . . 'Splain that Luthee!

    Sometimes you need to just dig a little deeper for the answer. :peace:

    This is the official sign-up thread for the Fall Edition grading contest.  You will need to post in the thread to enter, and the deadline to sign up is October 25th 8:00 PM eastern time. The maximum amount of participants is 150

    So, do I want to sign up for a contest to guess what grade CGC's collective wisdom happen to give any random book?  Sounds like a crapshoot to me . . . :Rocket:
