@FlyingDonut I ran into a small slew of Newsstands today, I only usually get the ones that differ in price to the direct version, kind of my thing since CGC sometimes recognizes those on the label....

My question: Would these be recognized on the label?

X-men 202 2007

20191108_142515.thumb.jpg.6249f4d6fc99e0

and this New X-men #151 2004

20191108_142527.thumb.jpg.8ffbeeb1d9ff32

any help appreciated :) 

I think both would because they have different prices on them then the directs

In theory, they will be because they're priced differently than Directs. In practice, CGC does not have a separate entry for either of them yet.

Except that none of those copies are nice enough to be slabbed . . . :whistle:

Thanks guys :)

There were a slew of newsstand editions, but only these two after looking them up were priced different than the direct. I was seeing if I got my "math straight" lol this time...

I messaged @Get Marwood & I to see if these were newsstands priced different than "other newsstand editions", so that I could contribute to his thread about newsstands from ?? Year to ?? Year. As I'm not too familiar with those, he stated these might not fit that "category".

And I understand it being "in theory", because I submitted that low low grade ASM #606 $3.99 newsstand price "edition" and there was a drop down menu for it under the "variant option"......

These 2 for fun, I started a submission form, but there was no $3.99 edition in the drop down menu lol

I said all that to say, "they may qualify", but haven't been notated as such....

I'm sure no one really is on fire with these, but I think they are interesting :foryou:

I got ASM #'s 606 & 607 added to the registry for cert insertion towards registry points in the ASM complete with variants, since those labels already receive notation and are laid out seperately in the registry. Now you can add those books toward points and such....

Anyway thanks for the feedback, I'm slowly groundworking my way into some board knowledge.

If I pick up enough for a submission, I may try and make sure those would be recognized first. It'll be a learning experience! (thumbsu

Thanks Again!

I'm not "caring about condition" too much lol

These I'm just collecting to collect...

When I got both for under $3, I figure to me it's worth it...

Especially since I've been around long enough to see across the board submission prices go up...

Might as well on the cheap :)

I just PM'd you. I would prefer CGC not to call books like these "$3.99 newsstand editions". I think it's misleading, as it could give the impression that the price is special. It isn't. It's just the newsstand edition, and sometimes they are priced differently to the direct copies. The only time it would make sense to highlight the price would be if there were copies of the same newsstand edition with different prices.

Like these:

Other than that, I would prefer that they just stuck to differentiating directs and newsstands.

I get that and see your point! That makes sense :)

partly part of the reason that I'm subbing them, but if I find them cheap, I'll do it until cgc changes their mind...

if I get them cheap enough that it doesn't matter lol

I'm definitely not made of money ha, so if they change it I'm good with that :foryou:

I had so many USM variants back in the day I've forgotten more than I remember now:

Unfortunately I am shockingly lazy when it comes to selling,

occasionally I get motivated and post some, like just sold a 9.4 Tec 880

but mostly it’s organize and saying “eh I’ll do it tomorrow”

CGC would put newsstand price variant on the label of those books. Only because the prices differ from the direct market versions.

A couple of dollar books from HPB today. I pretty much never run into the Rebirth newsies around here. Would love to put together a set but it'll be slow going, I'm afraid.

Yeah, thanks for looking out, I had the coupons but didn't find much. I'd hoped to use the 50% coupon on a Mickey Mouse Color Sundays box set I'd had my eye on, but someone beat me to it. So, didn't really find anything to use it on. Oh well!
