And all I wanted was a little advice about my UXM 282.

I've avoided posting in this thread, as there are some strong opinions, and some rather cutting remarks, being made.
But I will say this, as my perspective.
Newsstand copies from 1976 to 1984 are as plentiful in ultra high grade, if not moreso
Sorry, I have to respectfully disagree, at least on the books that I search for. As I mentioned earlier, I collect Miller DD and other Miller covers in CGC 9.4. (Maybe your "ultra high grade" distinction rules this grade out- if so, my argument is moot). I searched the current comiclink auction for 9.4 copies of Wolverine Ltd. Series (1982). There are 6 direct copies and 0 newsstand copies available. In the 'for sale' section, there are 10 copies shown (sold and unsold), all direct, 0 newsstand copies.
Again, I'm not arguing that there's a great premium, just that I'm willing to pay a premium when I find newsstand copies because they are harder for me to find, and I like them better. I bought them that way off the stand at the 7-11.
