For the record I love newsstands. I've done great finding them in high grade and taking the money. Yes I'm a Newsstand whore.

Confession is good for the soul.

High grade is tough which is why I am one too. :acclaim:

Oddly enough, what got me back into collecting 4 or 5 years ago was going through my old comics from the late 90s and early 00s, learning of the difference in a newsstand and direct, and then being fooled by Mile High's pricing into thinking all of my newsstand editions from that period were worth 10 times more than their direct counterparts :insane:. I quickly learned a key lesson when I tried to sell some of my no number newsstands of Punisher to an LCS.

Found another excalibur 120181118_180758.thumb.jpg.56ebc258008b7bba8ed16fe0e2e3082e.jpg

I haven't been paying attention to that Excalibur reprint. No ebay past sales (on the first page of results at least) but a bunch listed for sale now.

There are several of the Toybiz/Marvel Legend books that are ghosts. 
Spider-man 5 (I think) is my favorite. The book is a ghost. Right there with the ASM Book Market Variant.
Only difference is the Book Market does show up from time to time.

I see one a year on ebay that's about it. Never found one in the wild.
I saw a VG copy once in a huge pile, but it wasn't worth buying as they wanted
over $100 for a pile of junk.

The only difference is a spider in the UPC.
