That cover, even though only covered in foil is substantially different from the standard and therefore a variant. But what if Image just foiled the word "WildCATS" and left the rest of the over the same - would you class hat a variant?

Before anyone goes crazy trying to hunt down the newsstand edition there are only really two different covers for Uncanny X-Men "350, the Holofoil Edition and the Non-Holofoil Edition.

 

Even though there is a Newsstand & Direct Edition of the Non-Holofoil there is no art difference between the two, just UPC differences, so they are not considered Variants.

 

The only time a Newsstand cover is considered a Variant is when the art is different in some way, like the newsstand version of #423.

 

WRONG.

 

Newsstand covers may be fun to collect for different UPCs but they are only TWO different covers for 350 - A Holofoil, and a Non-Holofoil.

 

Two substantially different covers, three different editions.

 

every single regular issue would have a Direct Edition and Newsstand Variant

 

Right.

 

I forgot I have no idea what I'm doing apparently. Carry on.

RMA that has to be the most beat-up copy of war machine 1 non-enhanced I've ever seen .

For me the foil has always gotten more than the non-foil. I had 2 long boxes of the non foil and it's taken me nearly 2 years to get that down to a handful of copies. (i think i'm down to 20 or so non foil non NM copies) non-foil = $5 raw nm, and Foil = $10 raw NM. I go to about 15-20 shows a year and i see just as much of each cover, so i don't think the difference in print run is really all that much. Take that how you want though considering i found 2 long's of the non foil at one point. I suppose it could be a regional thing as well.

In my opinion, these are not variants just the newsstand vs direct editions. This is like different price editions, not variants.

 

 

EDIT. I have had a thought. If the newsstand edition is not a variant as the cover is not different, then if a publisher adds foil lettering to a cover, is that a variant? So I all myself into s circle. Is the UXM 350 foil cover a variant or the foil edition, and is there a difference?

 

 

 

$2.00 price tag? Why the big difference between the standard $2.95 price tag?

The higher priced one has a foil cover.
