Ben noteThis 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). In connection with CGC's decision to recognize newsstand comics on their labels, CGC apparently went back through their database of images and separated the census for this issue into two CPV entries: the DIRECT EDITION CPV is categorized as "Canadian Price Variant" while the NEWSSTAND CPV is categorized as "Canadian Newsstand Price Variant." Also, see my separate two-part post on this issue: Part I & Part II

Ben noteThis entry is for the $1.25 NEWSSTAND CPV. CGC still "lumps together" both types by cover price on their census for this particular issue, 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 decision to recognize newsstand comics on their labels, that CGC is now tracking the numbers separately by type for issue #1 so they may apply the same treatment to issue #2 in the future (or upon submitter request?).
