This seller on eBay has a decent assortment of modern newsstands. Both sets are from the same person. I had just sold 565 & 567 in newsstand in worse condition than what I paid here for the set. Not even including 569 first Anti-Venom.

I went to a LCS tent sale this past weekend and came away with a short box of newsstands, all the high end variants and first apps were gone, so I focused on looking for newsstands and could not believe all the goodness that I found, most were in Very Fine/Near Mint  or worse, they were thumbed over and and shifted around to death, but past over because newsstands I feel are a relative unknown part of collecting, which is good for me 

I will be slowly posting my haul over the next few days. enjoy.

I just received my first big box of comics from CGC. I'm not going to show the 3 direct comics in the batch. For reference, they were Hulk #1 (2008) 9.8, Saga of the Swamp Thing #37 9.2, and Next Men #21 9.4.
As I wrote before, these grades are almost all exactly what I predicted before I sent them off. I was wrong on 3 of them, one of which (Daredevil #111) was a full grade higher than I expected. Two others were .2 and .4 lower than I expected. My average of 22 out of 25 was totally destroyed by the next batch, almost all of which I guessed wrong. My impression is that different graders have different standards and I got different graders between the batches. Those haven't arrived yet, so I can't show them.

Another interesting item is that CGC did not note that my previously submitted X-Men #95 was a $2.49 price variant on the label. However, all of the price variants in this shipment were noted on the label.

BTW, I just checked and see that my price variants are the only ones in the CGC census.

I've been sticking a post it on each book denoting a price difference between direct and newsstand in addition to entering it on the invoice. so far I haven't had to send anything back yet for label revisions.

I'm not talking about the difference in price between direct and newsstand. These are genuine price variants. For each of these comics there is a direct and a newsstand with the same price, then two more newsstands with different prices. The direct and one newsstand are $1.99 each. There are also newsstands priced at $2.29 and $2.49. The price variants I sent in are all $2.29 and $2.49 price variants.

These are, by the way, very hard to find. I'm tempted to say they are rarer than newsstand Ultimate Fallout #4 but haven't done a count to be sure. I did a market count of UF4 last month, as well as a sold count of UF4. Result: over 1,500 direct, zero newsstand. These price variants are like that for months at a time, then one or two will show up.

All at once from a Canadian eBay seller. I Bought two lots & wanted to buy more but I just got a new telescope so funds were limited.

I've posted this in quite a few threads already, but figured I would post it here as well.
