How much of a premium are we talking for newsstand issues v/s direct editions?
I ask this solely because I am sending some books off to CGC and wanted to include my UXM 282, so as I was looking it over, I noticed it isn't but in 9.4 shape (yes, a press would help, but I am time-constrained RN) BUT it is a newsstand version. So, for my direct case, would it still be worth sending in as a 9.4 since it is a newsstand? And in the general sense, how much more collectable are newsstand editions v/s their direct edition counterparts overall?
Any and all comments are welcome,

I'm still evaluating, but generally (using 500 different comics with 45,000 total submissions), they have graded:
