Direct Edition VS News-Stand Barcode!!

[Wally's Comics]

One of the things I always wondered and I didn't see in any of the old threads

was does anyone ever think that there will be a value difference between LCS Direct Edition

or the Barcode issues that you get outside of the LCS?

 

You would think down the line that the Barcode editions would be worth more because

a better condition comic that may of went through harder conditions outside of the LCS

(spinner racks, bad shelf placment etc etc) that the issues that have been cared for inside

the LCS.

 

 

Spidey Head VS Bar Code, you tell me?

The vast majority of people don't care. In the early days of the direct market, newsstand versions outnumbered direct market versions by a very large margin, even allowing for returns. As the direct market expanded and newsstand distribution shrank, it eventually got to the point where the opposite was true. But all in all, most people are just happy to get either a newsstand or a direct version of any given comic in nice shape. There are a few books where there are (or were) different prices listed in the guide for newsstand vs. direct market copies. Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21 comes to mind as one where there used to be different price values in some guides, although Overstreet's current guide simply indicates that both versions exist, and are worth the same.

It is its own reward. Go forth and spread the evil. We shall not rest until EVERY avatar is remade in our image.

The mid-90s X-Men titles DM and newsstand "Deluxe" experiment are broken out in OS with different prices.

You can't get away from it. It's bigger than the both of us.

There has been discussion before on the value of ASM 194 - I believe, and others do as well, that the newstand version:

 

 

is much harder to find in grade.
