Try that WTB thread unless of course you are like me and only want to pay nothing for hard to find books.

Sorry,  not sure why my photo didn't upload at my hotel. Found this nm in the stacks for a few dollars...I couldn't tell if it was just faded from the sun but I bought it anyway.  I thought it possibly could be a pressman, but was confused by the barcode.

These two seem to be giving me trouble. Maybe it’s my location. 

I found the second in a collection of adult books I picked up about 4 years

4 years is a long time but I still have to ask, do you still have it?

I also found superman 75 newstand 4th prints and several marvel legends reprint comics.  Are any of those rare?

Rare-ish. There's definitely a market for them, and there's certainly a market for them in very high grade.

Which legends some are rare. As RMA said the 4th print is harder to find, but not extremely rare.

Yes you found a Pressman and the bar code confused me the first time too.

Hey cool!!  Congrats!

Thanks to you and @RockMyAmadeus and @fastballspecial I now know that one edition posted above is called a "Pressman", I had to google it  I knew the wolverine Jim Lee came with the Board game

I didn't know that the other's did too, nor that they called them "Pressman"!  

Anyway, Thanks!

Just so I'm clear: there's a distinct difference between the Direct 4th print Superman #75...which is really common...and the NEWSSTAND #75, which you said yours is....which is relatively  scarce.

Wasn't there also a 4th print of the Dark Knight Returns? or some random reprint that came in an action figure pack?

Not sure that it was "Marvel Legends"..... but I was curious if it also had a "Newsstand" Barcode, or did at least have some other feature that identifies it? if you saw it out of the packaging?

Seems like I remember some thread like that back a year or so ago

 I found it, but  @Wolverinex after reading this thread I tagged you for, we've had this discussion in this tagged thread before.... ah good times  

just because it seems that you look for this kind of thing in the wild

Same only one, I have found. Congrats!!

 There is also at least one printing of Killing Joke with a newsstand edition and UPC code on the front cover.

Here are the Superman 75's  4print newsstands.. there were actually 3 copies but one has a bunch of dead bugs in the bag so I passed.  

 

I also know it's taboo to talk about Image newsstands but I picked up that deathblow 1 because it was a MINT comic... totally perfect.

my marvel legends were a bunch of old silver/bronze age ones that said "not for resale." I don't have access to those books tonight but will post them tomorrow.
