3rd Prints of Batman Beyond are really hard to find. I cant remember how you tell the difference now I had one a few years ago and an ebay 
buyer was telling me all about the 3rd prints which I had never seen at that point.

Good question I will have to look them over and see.
I think there are a few I just cant remember them currently.

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.

Here's my 1st and 3rd prints.  Both beat up copies.  The 3rd print doesn't have the barcode at the bottom left.  It came with a direct to video Return of Joker.

There can’t be a ton of these out there, I’d imagine... price variant, as well, and Comichron states an order number of somewhere in the 6k range.

Comichron doesn't report newsstand numbers for modern books.

If I understand the question, there are a lot of Marvel Legends reprints with different covers. This is one of the best.

I think this qualifies.

2004 giveaway to tourists staying in Manhattan hotels. There is also a Grand Central Station version with the GCS logo on the front.

Yes, different artwork from the original book with the relevant content inside.

I know this. I'm talking about how low the direct numbers are for this, supposedly. So, I'd figure the newsstand numbers to be pretty small, too.

Maybe. Working with direct market initial order numbers, and trying to extrapolate from that, makes reliable estimating quite difficult. It's entirely possible that, given the number of "newsstand" outlets throughout North America (Barnes & Noble, etc) that the newsstand run was higher on some, or even many, issues during this time frame than their Direct counterparts. 

We just don't know. It's the great mystery of modern comic production.

I didn't mean that there was any original art used for covers, I just meant there were different covers to the interior/original books. They used the Dodson Ms Marvel instead of the original Avengers Annual 10. ASM 121 used an Alex Ross version, X-Men 4 (1991) used a Gambit cover, X-Men 451 used a different X-23 image. I'm sure there are others.

Here is one for the rarity of it, but isn't worth much. 
Its a non foil Thor 25, but also a newsstand. Pretty tough find, but again
not worth much.
