IN THE CHART BELOW, THE ONES THAT ARE LABELED IN GREEN ARE CONFIRMED VARIANTS WITH THE $2.49 VARIANT BEING THE MOST SCARES. Comicbookinvest website has data showing that in 2000, newsstand variants only made up 5% of the total printed comic books on the market. Newsstand variants were not sold to collectors inside comic book retail stores. They were found at actual newsstands, often displayed in spinner racks inside liquor stores, grocery stores etc and were typically printed on lower quality paper and were never bagged and boarded and often abused. Very few newsstand variants survived making them extremely SCARCE in high grade and many unsold newsstand copies were either returned to the publisher or destroyed.
