Direct. Looks nicer than the bar code, and there is sometimes original art in the UPC box.

Arent the barcode's more rarer \(shrug\) if your tracking down key 1st. app. like ASM #300, or New Mutants #98 I know I paid a lot more for my Newstand comics \:\(

I would say Newsstands are rarer in "high grade", thats been my experience with the Bat comics anyway.

Newsstand copies mostly went into spinner racks so they can be harder to find in good condition, I don't think they'd be more rare til after the point in the 90's where everything had a barcode, anyway.

I have to with newsstand editions. Some titles including Spidey & X-men also had higher cover prices. BTW, I just noticed that some newsstand in NYC are not selling any more Marvels at all. hm

I realize I'm quoting a picture...but a picture is worth 1000 words, right?

I'm in agreement with RMA. Direct UPC with sketches
