| Archie, Mar-89 | Newsstand AND Direct Variant CPV exist Ben notes: We still do not have a consensus among the advisory team as to whether one type should receive a premium over the other type; we will revisit next year. Related: please note that CGC "lumps together" both types by cover price on their census, making it more difficult to study the relative rarity between the newsstand and direct CPVs, and making the census count number at right inclusive of both types.

| Archie, Mar-89 | Newsstand AND Direct Variant CPV exist Ben notes: We still do not have a consensus among the advisory team as to whether one type should receive a premium over the other type; we will revisit next year. Related: please note that CGC "lumps together" both types by cover price on their census, making it more difficult to study the relative rarity between the newsstand and direct CPVs, and making the census count number at right inclusive of both types.
