Owner's Description

A 9.9 WP Copy. A Direct Edition Issue.
Currently worth 200 CGC points, the highest points for this issue.

CENSUS: as of June 2016.
3 copies at 9.9. I have one, and seen one other for sale for $1,300.00.
240 copies in 9.8. About 4 new copies per year since 2013.
139 more copies in 9.6 out of 501 graded copies.
12 SS copies. 8 graded at 9.8. Most signed by Klaus Janson and or Stan Lee. A beautiful cover.
There were separate Direct Issues and Newstand variants for issue number 190 and this pattern follows through the entire Daredevil Miller era run. I have been told the numbers of direct edition vs. newstand versions ranged proportionally 60-40 to 70-30 for each type, depending on the issue.
The newstand variants are much rarer in high grade, as they lived their life on a heavily fondled newstand, not in a direct edition mailer. This ratio also varies, with approximately one out of five (some issues one out of 20!) issues being graded 9.8 as the rarer Newstand Variant. Newstand Variants are hard to get.
Newstand variants have the price in a square box next to the issue number at the top of the letter box, the direct editions have the price and issue number in a diamond shape within the letter box.
A double sized comic with a new price of $1.00. Probably some Canadian variants too.

VALUE:
A 9.9? Expect $1,000 to 2,000 dollars depending on your need and checkbook.
Otherwise, expect to pay $50-150 for a basic 9.8WP Copy, easily more if excellent structure and more again if signed. And add a premium for the “Newstand Variant”, generally sold for around $200 now. The Newstands seem rare.
ALL the issues from 170 to 191 are generally available on EBay or the auction houses every month.
