There are no specific records that I'm aware of but anything from 2 to 10% would be a reasonable estimation in my view. Most UKPVs are freely available so it doesn't really matter. Some are rarer than hens teeth though, and not always the obvious early ones. And it likely differed by publisher. Grade is a thing of course, too. The only thing that really matters is what is actually out there. It may have been 10% back in the day but if they all went in the bin......

Comic Registry Signature Banner
Get Marwood & I replied to Joe Hastings's topic in CGC Registry (Comics)
Hey Joe, where are you going with that gun in your hand? Duh-dun, da-dun-dun! Now, the purpose of that banner is for you to add it to your signature line. That's the wording / pictures, if you have them enabled, that appear at the foot of members posts. What you do, is: 1. Highlight, right click and copy the URL link from your Registry Control Panel as below (The UBB works on this forum, the other one, other forums): 2. Go back to the CGC Forum, and from the top left menu, select: Forums My Settings Signature Settings 3. As per the example below, paste the Registry link into your Signature: 4. Once saved, your Registry Banner will then show at the foot of each post that you make. I don't have one myself, but others do and it looks like this: Hope that helps - let me know if you have any questions -

2023 Awards/Registry Freeze Thread
Get Marwood & I replied to wytshus's topic in CGC Registry (Comics)
@CGC Mike Mike, it's not like wytshus to have missed this and he hasn't posted since the 7th. I know it's the weekend, but is everything ok? You usually announce the forumite winners at the same time. -
For as much as it pleases the wider participants of this, the 'Summer Newsstand Edition 2023' grading contest, once again run most ably by the former board member 'comicdonna', lower case c, who, as stated in an earlier post in the Winter Direct Edition 2022 contest thread, now oversees this, the 'CGC Comic Forum' under the new guise of 'CGC Mike' - Mike, note, not Michael - that would still be too stuffy and business like - following his aforementioned change of career from lumberjack to administrator of justice and control on this comic chat board - which is still considered an odd choice of career change, when one stops to think about it, but, each to their own and, as the saying goes, a "change is as good as a rest" - I thought it best to follow the long standing board contest tradition - namely, the statement to the wider group that one's grades are 'in' - by doing in fact, just that, and stating through the medium of this 'post', as which they are commonly referred in online parlance, that, after long and careful consideration of the images provided by lower case comicdonna, but in his now official guise of 'CGC Mike' - and with some consternation, truth be told, given the rather horrifically difficult first five books of this the opening round, my opening grades can now be considered by the common considered majority to be, in fact, 'in'.

Ross Andru's Amazing Spider-Man Club
Get Marwood & I replied to Get Marwood & I's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
We've matched his five year ASM tenure Reggie! The tenure that defined my youth. For me, as I've said many times, the definitive portrayal of the definitive cast. -
Oh right, it does from memory. Maybe he'd like to be reunited

@Cpt Kirk will love this

Hooray! You made it Pino. Well done

State definitively that, whilst delivered via the newsstand distribution system, pre direct comics were not called 'newsstand editions'. State that they were just comics, stand alone, and that to call them newsstand editions retrospectively is incorrect. State that the only legitimate use of the term is where an alternative direct edition exists (as per CGCs labelling approach). Cement that understanding in. It's factual, and avoids opening any doors to misuse.

The same crowd who label 'foreign' reprints as first appearances? You've acknowledged there's a problem Greg. You can either educate people away from it with the right wording, or towards it with the wrong wording. They may take note, they may not. All that would matter to me, in your shoes, would be that I was on the right side of the argument, and that I was using the facts. The facts are that the term newsstand only gained the significance it holds today when the direct editions arrived. You're opening the door to the legitimate use of a term that wasn't in play to a group of books that stood alone. People may use it to deceive, as today Newsstand (often inacurately) means scarcity, means money.

Ultimate Spider-Man #1 - Price Variant ?
Get Marwood & I replied to ThatNerdyCanuck's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
There's some juicy fruit on the back cover. -
Found this: "Even though almost every comic book sold prior to 1979 was technically a newsstand edition, CGC will only identify a newsstand copy if a direct market edition also exists." https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/513391-cgc-now-recognizes-newsstand-editions-and-multi-packs-on-cgc-label/#comment-12531668
