Sonny_Boy13 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Hi, Im a newbie with probably 2 newbie ?'s. This is my first post,. I thought I'd try the forum for help! This is a two part ? 1. I have two copies of astonishing x-men #3 mattina "virgin" edition, One is origonal purple and the other is a printing error this suposeably happend to 42 copies where the cover is blue. I was just wondering if I contact cgc with the issue will they not only recognize the error but re-lable/reslab my copy for with a label recognizing the error if I note it on the invoice? 2. I noticed some cgc graded books don't indicate that they're newstand editions and some do. How does cgc recognize this and if I indicate it as such on the invoice will they label it on the slab as a newstand edition or however they please? Any info would be deeply appreciated Thanks again. #comicbookkarma KobaltDog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny_Boy13 Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 No it's not. Sorry for delay in reply. It's hard for me to find my posts as I don't know how to receive notifications. Yes I turned it on. Lol. Anyways no the reason I asked is because I have a copy of marvel what if #105. And it's a direct edition, but if u look at pictures you will see pics of my copy compared with a newsstand edition and it's not recognized by cgc on the label as such! I wanted to know if I buy it will cgc relabel it for me as a newstand edition or not, and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cozmo-One Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I believe that CGC does not differentiate between newsstand and direct editions on their label, except for some rare instances (if a different paper was used, etc). If the only difference would be the barcode, I wouldn't expect it to show on the label... dfx1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny_Boy13 Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 Ive seen spawn no.1 with labels that say it's a newsstand are not. That book is a key just like this marvel what if #105. The marvel book is even a 1st appearance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think CGC strives to recognize newsstand vs direct They absolutely do not and have not. Their recognition of Newsstand editions is extremely inconsistent and arbitrary, not to mention fairly recent.

I think CGC strives to recognize newsstand vs direct They might differentiate if there is a difference between the newsstand and direct, but not all differences. Such as difference in price has more of a shot than if one came with a pinup or insert and the other didn't. Some notes on the label are not always above the barcode on the label, some differences CGC is satisfied with putting the notation in the bottom right corner of the label. Ie where they would list a first appearance. Seems most are only hunting the ones that are notated just above the barcode, I don't know if ANY of this helps.... but there seems to be more notations on the label of differences than people are actually looking for, and it is definitely only when there is an actual difference between newsstand and direct (other than a logo 'Spider-Man head or writing' or barcode...)

mr_highgrade Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 CGC will add "Newsstand Edition" on it's label usually when the cover is different than the Direct Edition, or the price tag is also different.
