Canadian/UK newsstand price variants sold in Canada and the UK.

US published edition 75 cent Canadian price variant of Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #320.
Is that your personal copy? Super nice! I'm anxiously waiting for mine to come back from CGC...There is another copy on eBay now, exact same grade.
It's my former copy that I sent in as a raw copy to CGC that sold a few years ago. I now wish I still had it.

the last entry into Project: Sugar and Spike for 2013
This one from a recent CC auction. If you look up a couple of posts you will see an eerily similar cover, actually an almost identical cover in #55, however, this one seems redrawn to me.
The final issue of Sugar and Spike, and my 25% mark in the project:
Nice book! (thumbs u

Archie "Now 25c" cover variant

So, I posted this in another thread already, but since this is where the Archie experts hang out I thought this might be a more productive place to post it.
I received today a shipment of Archie back issues I ordered off ebay. Among these was a copy of Archie #401, which as you can see is not the normal version, but rather a free Club Med variant:
As the cover story is set at Club Med, my assumption is that this was a one-off deal between Archie and Club Med. But I am am curious if there were any other free Club Med giveaways. Or if Archie did something like this with any other companies. Or if maybe Club Med had variants of comics from other publishers?
Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this. Thanks.
Club Med appears to be about a vacation offering. Here is an ad for Club Med I noticed on line.

My earliest issue of The Amazing Spider-Man 75 Cent Canadian Price Variant
ASM #235
Check out the number of CGC copies of The Amazing Spider-Man #252 graded currently on the CGC census versus the US edition Canadian price variants of A.S.M #252. One will be amazed in the huge difference in numbers.

Question:
Are Canadian editions/variants seen as more or less the same, value wise as the American price editions?
They are the exact same books and off the same first print run. Only a higher cover price is present on the cover being the only difference at all. They are simply US first print editions with Canadian cover prices sold in Canada. Due to the size of Canada versus the US the print runs were most likely about 10X smaller on the Canadian price variants sold in Canada thus they are scarcer.
I would imagine they should be worth more than the regular cover price editions based on supply and demand

Jughead Annual #1 35 cent price variant.

An Archie's Mad House #22 found in a CGC 6.0 grade or better appears scarce to find and in a CGC 7.5 or better appears "rare" to find with the worlds best known copy of Archie's Mad House #22 being the Western Penn pedigree copy in CGC 9.0 and the second highest CGC graded copy a VF- 7.5 on the CGC census last I checked. True high grade copies of this book appear to almost never surface.

Archie Giant Series Magazine #1 (35 cent cover price) US first print edition with a nice! Christmas cover.

Official Canadian Newsstand Cover Price V****** Thread
in Copper Age Comic Books
Posted
The last issues of any series for all publishers would have had a much lower print run than normal I believe. Titles that ended with little to no warning to readers were due to poor and declining sales. I find the scarcest newsstand Canadian price variant dated from 9/82 on to be Josie #106 in my opinion. The only Canadian price variant of that series and the indicia states in that final issue that the book was down to an amazing low publication of just 2 times a year!. I have seen only 2 copies of that newsstand Canadian price variant surface so far.
