Variant or Not

[cheetah]

I submitted an Avengers V3 #77 newstand variant but it was rejected as a variant. Yet the equivalent Uncanny X-men 423 is labeled as a newstand variant. Scans of the various versions are below. There is also a similar situation with the Fantastic Four registry set. FF V3 #60 is a 9-cent regular cover with the newstand variant lebeled by CGC as a Price Variant.

 

I know it is hardly a big deal but I spent a lot of time tracking the Avengers variant down and think it ought to be labeled as a Newstand Variant just like the UXM 423 is.

We will now recognize the Avengers v3 #77 Newsstand Variant. If you would like to submit your comic for correction, we will add this designation to the label.

There is an intermediate variant for the Avengers V3 #77. It sports an 'only 50 cents' medallion like the regular issue but it carries a $2.99 UPC box. I understand these were sold at military posts. Will CGC label this as a variant?

CGC labels that issue as the "Newsstand Error Variant - Printed w/ both 50c & $2.99 cover price."
