CPV Price Guide v9 | Newsstand Canadian Price Variant Comics Values

Why CPVs Matter

Canadian Price Variants are a distinct newsstand collecting niche with limited regional distribution and visible cover-price differences.

Debuting as 75¢ variants, CPVs were published simultaneously with regular newsstand editions but distributed into the vastly-smaller Canadian market, making them attractive to collectors who care about relative scarcity and distinctly printed CGC-recognized variants. Learn more »

Regional scarcity

Type 1A CPVs reached a limited newsstand market rather than full North American distribution.

Visible difference

The alternate cover price gives collectors a quick way to distinguish CPVs from regular editions.

Growing data

Guide values, CGC census activity, noteworthy sales, and collection tools help track the market over time.
