Most Valuable Spawn Comics With UPC Bar Codes (Newsstand Variants)
From Spawn #1 to Spawn #137, there were two types of each issue (not including variant comics).
1) Direct versions (sent directly to comic book stores); and
2) Newsstand versions (with a UPC bar code, intended to be sold at newsagents and other stores).
Newsstand editions are genuinely scarce, as very few modern age comics were sold from anywhere but comic book stores. Estimates (more like guesstimates) put the percentage at 1-2 percent of the complete print run.
Here are the record sales for each issue. Usually this is CGC 9.8.
Occasionally there has been no 9.8 sale, so the next highest grade sale is quoted instead.
Those prices are marked with *.
