Introducing The 2023 Price Guide Edition

Welcome to edition #6 of what began with our inaugural 2018 edition of this guide, which marked our hobby's first comprehensive price guide for 1980's newsstand-exclusive cover price variants from Marvel and D.C. — covering the two heavyweight comic book publishers of the era. Our coverage now also includes Archie, Harvey, Gladstone, Modern, Whitman, and selected magazine titles from Warren and Harris.

This year we are thrilled to welcome Greg Holland to the price guide collaboration team! As a writer for GPA and a master of data analysis, Greg brings unique and valuable insights and experience to the team. Welcome aboard, Greg!

Starting next year we are losing Jay Halstead as an advisor — Jay still participated this year but in collaboration with Jayden Mitchell (owner of CaptCanComics.ca), and Jay let us know that after this year he will be unable to participate further but is "passing the torch" to Jayden. So we give our many thanks to Jay for all you have contributed, and we look forward to working directly with Jayden going forward! Welcome aboard, Jayden!

In our growing Market Reports & Articles section — which many readers tell us is their favorite part of our guide (and now boasts over 50 articles) — we have many new articles contributed by the price guide team including Doug Sulipa who has filled the Whitman 1984 CPV price guide void this year as well as Harvey!

Plus, we are thrilled to include article contributions this year from several true superstars in this niche: UK-based Type 1A price variant enthusiast Stephen Cranch has shared his research into Charlton Canadian Price Variants. Toronto-based CPV specialist Salvatore Miceli welcomes us into the Neitherworld with Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. Social media influencer and price variant researcher James Gilbreath is back this year with his take on UKPVs.

Note: Readers should be aware that there are still various publishers not covered yet in the guide who produced Type 1A variants during this 1970's-1990's timeframe as well — collectors interested in exploring variants from other publishers (not to mention other types of variants) are encouraged to read Jon McClure's 2021 article published in The Overstreet Guide to Grading Comics Sixth Edition, entitled "A History of Publisher Experimentation and Variant Comic Books, 2021 Edition" (pick up your copy here). "Type 1" and "Type 1A" price variants are defined below:

First, let us discuss Marvel and D.C. Entering the 1980's, Marvel and D.C. each sold comics through two distinct distribution channels: "Direct Edition" copies were directly sold to comic shops on a non-returnable (but discounted) basis; "Newsstand" copies meanwhile were distributed to newsstands across North America, and unsold copies could be returned. In the beginning of the 1980's, all of North America got the same identical newsstand copies.

But starting in October of 1982, due to currency fluctuation, these publishers could no longer afford to charge the same 60¢ price on newsstands in population centers like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal — i.e. places where buyers would be paying in Canadian currency. For this reason, both publishers started to demand 75 cents from those newsstand customers north of the border. But instead of placing both US and Canadian prices on newsstand copies as they eventually did, from 10/1982, out to 8/1986 for Marvel and out to 9/1988 for D.C., these publishers produced two distinct batches of newsstand copies: a higher cover price batch and a lower cover price batch.

Each batch was produced simultaneously with the other copies on the same manufacturing equipment, so all are 1st print copies (each batch involving only a change of the black/key plate), but the number of copies created for each batch was different, with each batch sized to fit the corresponding market: the Direct Edition batch size was informed by comic shop order levels, and each of the two Newsstand batch sizes were informed by the size of the target market and newsstand sales trends. The smaller batch of higher cover price newsstand copies — the copies today known as "Type 1A cover price variants" were therefore sold in vastly smaller numbers.

But equally important is that newsstand comics were purchased mostly by readers, whereas direct edition comics were mostly purchased by collectors, who then preserved their condition. Direct editions of this era were so well preserved in fact, that the consensus among the Overstreet advisors on our collaboration team is that direct editions represent roughly 80% of the total surviving copies of 1980's comic books. That leaves roughly 20% as newsstand copies; and applying the approximate 90:10 market size difference by population size shown above, we reach an estimate of roughly 18% of surviving copies being regular newsstand copies and roughly 2% being the Type 1A price variant newsstand copies, as we illustrate below (note: the tilde symbol '~' means 'approximately' as these are estimates):

It is important to note, however, that each individual issue will have its own survivorship characteristics depending on factors including the overall share of newsstand sales (versus direct edition) at the time of publication (with newsstand distribution in 1982 considerably stronger than in 1988), and whether comic shops ordered enough direct edition copies of the issue to satiate collector demand (if collectors could not get their fill at their local comic shops for a particular issue, they may have turned to their local newsstands to collect copies of that issue, driving a higher than average CPV survivorship rate). Issues like Batman #423 and Crisis on Infinite Earths #1 have current CGC census rarity of closer to 1% for the CPV, while Thor #337 has current CGC census rarity closer to 6% for the CPV, as of October 2022. Greg Holland reports that across all issues where CGC has a CPV on record the current census rarity is 2.7% for Marvel CPVs, and 2.9% for DC CPVs.

It is also important to consider that the marketplace for CGC-graded CPVs is focused on the major keys, representing a small subset of the overall universe of CPVs that actually exist. Many of the major key issues were published earlier in the window; among the top keys in our guide, the median publication year is 1984. And for Marvel (which represents a greater share of sales in the comic book marketplace versus DC) the top Marvel keys have a median publication year of 1983 — in other words, skewed more towards the beginning of the price variant window.

Given these factors, a separate question that can be studied is what share of actual marketplace sales do CPVs represent, among the most popular issues where CPVs exist? The folks at GPAnalysis once more kindly supplied statistics for all of their sales data from 2019-onward for CGC graded comics, among the universe of issues where GPA has recorded a CPV sale at any time since 2002 (this universe will therefore exclude all sales for issues where the CPV is known to exist but has not changed hands as a CGC-graded copy since 2002). Greg Holland did a great job again this year of crunching the numbers and analyzing the breakdowns — see his new article here for more details.

Across Marvel and DC there were a total of 102,393 sales in the GPA data set, 3,104 of which were price variant copies and 99,289 of which were regular-cover-priced copies (inclusive of both direct editions and regular newsstand copies). In 9.8 there were 32,881 total sales in the data set, of which 695 were price variant copies and 32,186 were regular cover price copies.

Thanks to the research efforts of Salvatore Miceli, our guide's coverage universe now includes Archie, Gladstone, and Harvey as additional publishers. Each of these publishers has varying dates during which price variants were published, and there are also different distribution circumstances to keep in mind versus over at Marvel/DC: for example with Archie, direct editions were generally only introduced much later (with certain titles only getting their first direct editions way out in September of 1988), with early 1980's keys like Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #320 (1st Cheryl Blossom Appearance) having had only newsstand distribution. Archie kept publishing their price variants well past the end of the '80s and into the '90s (Gladstone and Harvey also published variants into the 90's). Read more detailed introductions at the following links about the variants from Archie, Gladstone, Harvey (see also: Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice), & Modern. This year thanks to Doug Sulipa we have both a Harvey CPV Price Guide and a Whitman 1984 CPV Price Guide to share with you. Also see the Market Reports & Articles section that follows, for various articles covering pre-1980's Canadian Price Variants.

The few copies that sold in 2020 were all record-breaking prices as well! Raw mid-grades sold for $500-600! Although prices have slowed in 2022 this book will continue climbing in price given the history and importance behind the creation of this issue as Larry Hama briliantly needed to recreate the wheel to meet a last minute deadline! Check out this YouTube video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClpaUTV3qrc Jayden notes: Low to mid grade copies have proven to be more easily found than once thought, and VF or worse copies are readily available for purchase. NM- and better copies, however are still not regularly showing up for sale! A raw VG+ CPV sold at CaptCanComics.ca on 6/24/2022 for $200 CAD Conan notes: Example variant sales at MyComicShop: a CGC 4.5 on 6/1/2021 for $127, a raw 3.0 on 8/13/2020 for $130, a raw 3.5 on 10/29/2020 for $198 Doug notes: HUGE DEMAND and Very Low Supply.

	1st Appearance of Hobgoblin; Came with Tattooz Angelo notes: Rumors are still circulating that the Hobgoblin will be coming to the big screen so it's only a matter of time. In February of 2022 a 9.6 CGC sold for $2052; July a 8.5 sold for $595; July an CGC 4.0 sold for $325. In September 2021 a 9.0 CGC sold for $847, June an 8.0 CGC sold for $600 and an 8.5 CGC SS sold in May for $1017. In 2020 the following grades sold for breakout prices: 4.0 CGC for $160 in October; 5.0 CGC for $335 in July; 9.2 CGC for $800 in March; 9.8 CGC in March sold for $4650 becoming the highest amount paid for any CPV on a public auction only to have this price shatterered once agian a few months later in November when a second copy sells in another public auction for $7800. This has become a must have book for the serious C.P.V. collector and/or investor. Jayden notes: A CGC 8.0 CPV sold at CaptCanComics.ca on 6/30/2022 for $800 CAD Ben notes: Classic cover contender. Conan notes: Example variant sales at MyComicShop: a CGC 8.5 on 10/17/2022 for $500 (buy it now), a CGC 9.6 on 2/21/2022 for $2050 (buy it now), a raw 5.0 (no tattooz) on 12/24/2020 for $112, a raw 8.0 on 2/15/2021 for $420, a raw 2.0 on 3/20/2020 for $80, a CGC 8.5 on 12/26/2019 for $350 Jon notes: CGC updated their labeling treatment this year; please see this article for more details and for my previous advisor note. Paul notes: 75¢ variants of this issue did indeed come with Tattooz included (Overstreet's in-guide note is incorrect). A VF- Amazing Spider-Man #238 variant sold at PNJ Comics for $160 in 2018 CGC label note: 1st appearance of the Hobgoblin. Manufactured with "Tattooz" insert & sample. 75¢ cover price.
3		Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #320 Archie, Oct-82	$0.75	$680 ▼ $15	57
	1st Appearance Of Cheryl Blossom Angelo notes: In 2022: Sept. 9.6 CGC sold $1452;Sept 9.0 CGC sold $501; June 6.0 CGC sold $195. In 2021 a 9.0 CGC sold in February for $469, an 8.0 CGC sold in March for $348, a 5.5 CGC sold in March for $200. In June 2020 a 9.4 CGC sold for $1465 and a 5.5 CGC in October 2019 for $200. First appearance of Cheryl Blossom! This mega key Price Variant is really tough to find in higher grades and scarcely comes up for sale. Very early CPV Cheryl Blossom appearances are great investments. Ben notes: Note that Archie only introduced direct editions much later, so for earlier Archie issues like this one there was only newsstand distribution and thus two total types (the two different cover priced newsstand versions) instead of three; one thing this difference means is that the percentage of total copies that are the CPV is much higher when compared to Marvel/DC CPVs. Doug notes: 1st appearance of CHERYL BLOSSOM in Dare to be Bare = 5 page-s; CGC label note: 1st appearance of Cheryl Blossom. 75¢ cover price.
4		Saga of the Swamp Thing #37 DC, 6/1985	$0.95	$600 ▲ $50	46
	1st Appearance of John Constantine Angelo notes: This book has been on everyone's radar for good reason and so has the price. It's now confirmed that Keanu Reeves will be starring as Constantine in the sequel movie! In October of 2021 a 9.0 CGC sold for $689, in August an 8.0 with no page quality specified on the CGC label sold for $379.58. In 2020 the price for this issue has been everywhere: 9.0 CGC sold for $356 in April, 9.2 CGC sold for $550 in October , 9.6 sold in January for $600, a second copy in 9.6 CGC sold in the spring for $300. I believe the latter prices were soft and ocurred prior to rumors hitting the street that Constantine is coming to the small and big screen. Lets not forget a 5.5 CGC sold for $300 in 2019. A CGC 9.6 variant sold in 2018 for $750. Doug notes: First FULL appearance of JOHN CONSTANTINE aka HELLBLAZER; ALAN MOORE Story; CGC label note: 1st full appearance of John Constantine. 95¢ cover price.
5		Batman #423 DC, 9/1988	$1.00	$505 ▲ $195	37
	Todd McFarlane cover Angelo notes: In August 2022 a 7.0 CGC sold for $273; February a 5.0 CGC sold for $450. An 8.5 CGC sold in April 2021 for $333. A 9.6 CGC sold for $600 in 2020 and a 9.4 CGC sold the same year for $349. A raw VF+ sold for $229 in 2019. A 9.6 CGC sold for $640 in November 2019. This being a McFarlane cover and the last CPV issue in the title makes it particularly desirable. Jayden notes: McFarlane cover, very scarce last issue in CPV. Tough Black Back Cover. This cover keeps getting redone over and over and people still love it! Hulk 340, ASM 300, SM1 Don't have Canadians. This is THE top McFarlane CPV and the McFarlane crowd is willing to pay up for high grade copies. A CGC 9.2 CPV sold at CaptCanComics.ca on 9/17/2022 for $2,000 CAD Ben notes: Classic cover contender by Todd McFarlane. Doug notes: LAST Canadian Price Variant in Title; Classic Todd McFARLANE Cover Art; Jim STARLIN story; CGC label note: $1.00 cover price.
6		Blip #1 Marvel, 2/1983	$1.25	$500 ▲ $215	12
	1st Appearances of Donkey Kong and Mario; Video game magazine in comic-book format Angelo notes: In 2021 two low grade raw copies sold between $200 to $300, and a CGC 6.0 sold for $284. In my opinion, a book that is investment-worthy with more upside potential. Jayden notes: Video Game related speculation is growing, and so is the sales volume of these keys - but the Canadians are STILL never showing up for sale. High grade value is currently hypothetical! Ben notes: Something that really strikes me about the Blip series is that it is the only instance I am aware of among CPVs where there exist both dual-price newsstand copies *and* single-price newsstand copies (the CPVs) (here's pictures of what I mean). Doug notes: FIRST Comic Book appearance of MARIO BROS (in 6 Page Story); FIRST Comic Book appearance of DONKEY KONG (in same 6 Page Story); TV Star Matthew Laborteaux PHOTO cover; Video Games of the Stars; Atari 2600 & other early Video Games; Missile Command, Centipede, Pitfall, Arcadia-2001, Dig Dug; Steve Grant story; Bob Camp art; LOWER PRINT RUN and Scarcer Bronze Age Marvel Comics & Video Game Collectible item; CPV is Scarce in High Grade Doug notes: CPV is Scarce in High Grade CGC label note: Matthew Laborteaux photo cover. 1st comic book appearance of Mario & Donkey Kong.

In March of 2021 a 9.8 CGC sold for $5282, a 9.6 CGC sold for $2623 , 9.4 CGC sold for $550, 9.2 CGC sold for $757 and in July an 8.0 CGC sold for $317. In 2020, two copies in 9.8 CGC sold for $1000 and $1510 compared to $600 in 2019. Yellow cover makes it easier to see every fault. Jayden notes: A raw VF/NM CPV sold at CaptCanComics.ca on 7/11/2022 for $275 CAD Conan notes: Example variant sales at MyComicShop: a raw 2.5 on 1/14/2020 for $45, a raw 6.5 on 4/27/2020 for $65, a CGC 9.0 on 8/21/2020 for $117, a CGC 9.8 on 7/23/2020 for $650 Doug notes: ORIGIN and Re-Introduction of BOBA FETT classic cover & Story; CGC label note: 75¢ cover price.
8		Amazing Spider-Man #252 Marvel, 5/1984	$0.75	$325 ▲ $60	596
	1st Appearance of the black costume; Amazing Fantasy 15 cover homage Angelo notes: In 2022: 9.8 CGC sold in July for $3960; 9.6 CGC in June sold $846; in summer three 9.2's CGC sold for $300,$330 & $375; three copies in 9.0 sold for $288,$260 & $266; 7.0 CGC in May for $150; 5.5 CGC in August for $137;4.0 CGC in Feb for $98.

Other grades have also experienced break-out prices lighting a fire under this book. In 2020 the following grades sold for: 9.0 CGC S.S. Lee for $426 in March; 9.4 CGC S.S. Lee in August for $740; 9.8 CGC in October for $1800. Along with Marvel Team-up #141, Spectacular #90 and Secret Wars #8 this book is a must have for the Spider-man collector/investor interested in the black suit which eventually becomes Venom. Jayden notes: Example recent ASM #252 CPV sales at CaptCanComics.ca: a CGC 9.2 sold on 6/30/2022 for $500 CAD, a raw VF/NM sold on 6/7/2022 for $375 CAD, a raw VF+ sold on 5/31/2022 for $350 CAD and a raw VF sold on 4/1/2022 for $350 CAD. Ben notes: Whenever new-to-CPVs collectors ask me for my opinion on which CPV to collect first, ASM 252 is my answer and here's why. As an "event" comic that received immediate collector interest, it is likely that many collectors may have not been able to load up at their local comic shop with as many copies as they wanted, and thus headed to the newsstands to add additional copies. As a result we see an extraordinarily high number of CGC census copies of both the variant (relative to other CPVs) and the "regular" types for this particular issue. This means a new CPV collector will find it much easier / less frustrating to actually find a suitable CPV copy for their collection making it a great first CPV target. Bill notes: A CGC 9.8 variant sold for $1,282 in October 2018; back in December 2017 a CGC 9.8 variant sold for $1,000; a VG/FN variant sold for $107.58 in August 2018 Conan notes: Example variant sales at MyComicShop: a raw VG 4.0 on 5/10/2022 for $155 (buy it now), a raw FN- 5.5 on 5/9/2022 for $119 (buy it now), a raw VF 8.0 on 5/5/2022 for $210 (buy it now), a CGC 9.0 on 11/30/2021 for $300 (buy it now), a raw 2.0 on 8/23/2021 for $72, a raw 2.5 on 1/28/2021 for $85, a CGC 7.0 on 7/8/2021 for $135, a raw 2.5 on 12/31/2019 for $35, a raw 6.0 on 6/6/2019 for $48, a raw 5.0 on 6/16/2020 for $61, a raw 6.0 on 6/16/2020 for $63, a CGC 8.5 on 5/7/2019 for $86, a raw 8.0 on 12/30/2019 for $98, a CGC 9.2 on 11/19/2019 for $106, a raw 8.0 on 9/21/2020 for $195, a CGC 9.4 on 11/20/2020 for $280, a CGC 9.4 on 5/13/2019 for $300 Paul notes: Example ASM #252 variant sales at PNJ Comics: Two CGC 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man #252 variants sold for $3,995 on 4/5/2022, a CGC 9.6 variant sold for $846 on 6/29/2022, an NM+ variant sold for $250.00 on 3/7/2018, an NM variant sold for $215 in 2018, and a raw VG/FN variant sold for $80 in 2020.

A key book that needs more attention! Very early CPV's of Cheryl Blossom appearances definitely need a price hike given the difficulty finding high graded copies. Doug notes: SECOND appearance of CHERYL BLOSSOM in Barely Friendly = 6 page-s; First appearance of CHERYL BLOSSOM in this Title; Same Month as Betty & Veronica #320; Jason Blossom app; RARE due to HIGH demand; Very Undervalued as compared to B&V#320; Paul notes: A CGC 6.0 variant sold at PNJ Comics for $115 in 2020.

	1st Appearances of Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady in comics. Newsstand AND Direct Variant CPV exist Angelo notes: Not one but THREE first comic book appearances; Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady! Prices in 2022 have softened making this book a great buy in higher grades. Prices in 2020 and 2021 have gone up for many grades. In 2021: 9.6 CGC NEWSSTAND copy sold in January for $1250, an 8.5 CGC NEWSSTAND copy sold in March for $400. Ben notes: This entry is for the $1.25 NEWSSTAND CPV. It is such an interesting circumstance that in addition to the single-price NEWSSTAND copies, Archie also produced single-price DIRECT EDITION copies of this issue as well (in other words, rather than placing both $1.00 and $1.25 CAN on all direct editions, they produced two distinct batches, a $1.00 direct edition and a $1.25 direct edition). Please note that at the time our 2023 guide was assembled, CGC still "lumped together" both types by cover price on their census, making it impossible to know how many of their census copies are newsstand versus direct (so the CGC count number you see is inclusive of BOTH types and just gives the $1.25 cover price census count for the issue number at large), but we understand that in connection with their announcement to recognize newsstand comics on their labels, that CGC intends to track the numbers separately by type going forward. Also, see my separate two-part post on this issue: Part I & Part II Doug notes: 8/1988; FIRST appearance of BEBOP and ROCK STEADY in Comics; Adapts TV Cartoons; FIRST Printing; Canadian Newsstand VARIANT Edition with Single original Cover Price of $1.25, with UPC barcode; CGC label note: 1st comic book appearance of Krang, Bebop & Rocksteady. $1.25 cover price.

16		Thor #337 Marvel, 11/1983	$0.75	$195 ▼ $30	591
	1st Appearance Beta Ray Bill; 1st Simonson Thor Angelo notes: In 2022 this book has cooled off across almost all grades due to a lack of official news that of Beta Ray will appear on the big screen. When an announcement is made prices will shoot up once again. In 2021 many grades have shattered record prices: 9.8 CGC September $4,301;9.8 CGC August $2880; 9.8 CGC July $3480; 9.8 CGC July $3120; 9.8 CGC June $3360; in October a 9.8 CGC with ow/w pages sold for $2,328 at a buy-it-now price shortly after getting posted for sale; in November a 9.8 CGC sold for $2040. A 9.6 CGC in May sold for $626 and another in September for $472.69, 9.4 CGC July $345, 9.0 CGC July $295, 8.0 CGC July $182. Jayden notes: Example recent Thor #337 CPV sales at CaptCanComics.ca: a CGC 9.8 sold on 7/15/2022 for $1,875 CAD, a CGC 9.0 sold on 4/29/2022 for $300 CAD, and a raw NM- sold on 6/10/2022 for $300 CAD. Ben notes: Classic cover contender by Walter Simonson. Another great example of an "event" comic that received immediate collector interest, making it likely that many collectors may have not been able to load up at their local comic shop with as many copies as they wanted, and thus headed to the newsstands to add additional copies. As a result we see an extraordinarily high number of CGC census copies of both the variant (relative to other CPVs) and the "regular" types for this particular issue. This means a new CPV collector will find it much easier / less frustrating to actually find a suitable CPV copy for their collection making it a great target among "what to collect first" among CPVs (also see ASM 252). Bill notes: A CGC 9.8 copy of Thor 337 CPV sold for $4,301 at auction in September 2021. Conan notes: Example variant sales at MyComicShop: a CGC 9.2 on 7/19/2022 for $172 (at auction), a CBCS 9.2 on 4/15/2021 for $250, a CGC 9.2 on 4/30/2021 for $270, a CGC 9.6 on 7/20/2021 for $550, a raw 4.0 on 12/30/2019 for $41, a raw 2.5 on 5/4/2020 for $76, a CGC 8.5 on 11/19/2019 for $119, a raw 5.0 on 8/4/2020 for $120, a CGC 9.2 on 7/22/2020 for $146, a raw 9.0 on 1/11/2019 for $175, a CGC 9.2 on 9/16/2019 for $225, a CGC 9.6 on 1/14/2020 for $330, a CGC 9.8 on 10/7/2020 for $800, a CGC 9.8 on 8/12/2019 for $825 Doug notes: FIRST appearance of BETA RAY BILL as he becomes new THOR, and the Series Begins; First appearance of LORELEI-c/s; Classic Walt Simonson-c/a begins; CBG's 2012 Book Listed as the #2 Greatest Comic Cover of All-Time; A CGC 9.2 variant sold at dougcomicworld.com in 2018 for $129.

Price Guide Methodology

A subset of the team of price guide contributors have independently submitted advice on variant values for the top key comic books. The median of those advised values collected for each issue — i.e. the middle ground number at which exactly half of advisors who participated gave an equal or lower value opinion and half of advisors gave an equal or higher opinion — were used to compile a Top 100. By comparing these median advisor values for each issue against the "base Direct Edition value" for those same issues, a variant premium was discovered which helped inform the rest of the guide. The base Direct Edition values were determined by (1) an extrapolation of observed marketplace asking prices for the issue around the research period of August-October 2022, and (2) opinions from up to three different popular comic book price guides.

Using This Guide to Canadian Price Variant Comics

This guide is presented on a best-efforts basis, but none of the included information is guaranteed to be free of human error; and due to the sheer volume of issues included in the guide (over five thousand), it was not possible to individually verify all information issue by issue or to confirm the existence of every variant by observing a photograph of each variant proving its existence, but we have included Marvel & DC variant pictures with 99% picture coverage. For those issues where we have not verified the existence of the variant with pictures, there is reason to believe the variants should exist; but is it also possible that certain included issues were actually direct edition exclusives lacking newsstand distribution, or had newsstand distribution in the US but not Canada. Therefore you should use this guide only as one tool among your comics research tool-belt, and you should verify information with other sources before acting. Expected variant cover price, for example, can be error-checked by referencing a direct edition copy and looking up the small-print Canadian price tag — that small-print price would then be the expected cover price used for the smaller newsstand batch (although we have found exceptions, such as Thundercats #1).

Information columns presented in the guide are: Issue (and date), Direct Edition value, the expected cover price found on variant newsstand copies, and finally our guided Variant values (all guided values presented are for "raw" copies; all guided values are presented in US Dollars). The final column is used to indicate when the variant for the issue has been confirmed at CGC, i.e. at least one variant copy appears on the CGC Census as of 9/27/2022; when found, we show the number of variant copies on record as of that date. At the bottom of each row, a Note may appear for a given issue for noteworthy items such as 1st appearances; Advisor notes are displayed in green; CGC label notes (when key comments notes were found) are displayed in blue. In the full guide pages for each title, rows are highlighted in yellow by noteworthy value above a threshold. Direct edition value columns are highlighted with a pink circle in cases where noteworthy value disagreement among price guides was spotted and flagged.

CGC census information is presented throughout the guide, comparing the year-over-year census counts for both the main/regular census entry and the variant census entry. The census counts shown are drawn from the 9/21/2021 census snapshot for last year's counts, and the 9/27/2022 census snapshot for this year's counts. We have introduced a page presenting the top CGC census grades for top CPVs. Note that as of May 2019, CGC now catalogs the variants on their census under the name "Canadian Price Variant" while typically pointing out the variant cover price on the right-hand side of the label. In May of 2020, CBCS released their census; we have not yet integrated their census data into our guide. As of October of 2018, CBCS began denoting the variants as "Canadian Price Variant" with the cover price included in the label name itself, e.g. "75¢ Canadian Price Variant."

The most common terminology you will find in the marketplace for these variants are "Cover Price Variants", "CPVs" (CPV being an abbreviation for Cover Price Variant or for Canadian Price Variant depending on context), "Type 1A Variants", "Canadian Price Variants", "Canadian Newsstand Editions", and older slabs prior to October 2018 for CBCS and prior to May 2019 for CGC will show the variant name as "Canadian Edition."
