PGM AMS 362 Newsstand Variant 3 3

[Stuart Aldridge]

Any insight is much appreciated!  Not sure if the newsstand edition is worth getting graded.  The value seems to be lower.

Thanks you!

Thanks for looking it over.

9.0 range. Newsstands from this era are always advertised as rarer (and are) but when you consider prints runs where they were, even at 10% of copies being newsstands, that's still a very large number. Generally people only go ga ga over the big key books in newsstand versions (even when these are not rare at all it seems). You may find someone who is trying to put together a newsstand run who might pay a slight premium to have but generally for a book like this one, price will be around the same as direct edition.

Not trying to be Captain Obvious here, but are those actual tears...including the front cover?  They don't look production related.  It's almost symmetrical with the small chips/tears to the right...

They appear to be manufactured.  It seems way to even to be a tear and it’s not on the cover.  I didn’t know about that or the one groove to the right of it.

Can't say I've seen something like that before, and only going through a few of the pages.  Production, or not production...that is the question.  I'll go 8.5-ish...I won't be surprised if it's higher.  Thanks!!!

I'm not trying to be mean or anything but better lit pics would help next time. Looks like a 9.0 to me.
