This thread is pretty old and not much seems to have come of it but Im a firm believer in the difference between newsstand/direct. Im having a hell of a time hunting and locating newsstand copies of Ghost Rider (1990). I can buy them one at a time on ebay but that just gets ridiculous. Would love to be able to find and catalog them here. Currently I dont have any of my Mark Jewlers or Newsstands logged into my collection because there isnt a clear way to distiguish them from others. A person can hope though...

What issues you looking for? I picked up some later issues a while back specifically because they were newsstands.

2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 16, 30, 32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 45, 47, 50, 53, 54, 55, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 67, 69, 70, 71, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 80-93
Id be happy to puchase any and all copies you have. I prefer VF+ but will take a place holder copy just to fill the gap.
I have an old note to myself that 82 might be the last Newsstand issue produced. Not sure why but maybe that was the last one I could verify. Its also around when the print run started to get smaller and smaller.

To my knowledge June 1979 would be the first time for a newsstand/direct split. And I can only speak on Marvel titles. Also, from my experience hunting, newsstands are much more common from the 80's era. I've found around the begining of the 90's is when direct books became more common.
I personally dont care between the two unless it comes to Ghost Rider specifically. I currently have a full 1973 run from 1-35, newsstand from 36-81 and direct from 36-81. I'm nearly complete on my pence variant run and about halfway on my Mark Jewlers run.
With that being said, this is why I do argue a difference. Maybe I don't care about my Avengers and Captain America runs but somebody else does. It'd be very nice to catalog and differentiate between the two.
And thank you MoonKnight1! Pretty proud of my points. I was just joking with my wife earlier that in some relationships people are sneaky. My big secret is that I sneak down to the comicbook room and edit CCL. She'll call around the house looking for me and then relize I'm downstairs typing away. She could have done worse and I could have much worse "bad habbits" that I'm "hiding". She's literally calling me upstairs right now to come eat dinner. Gotta go...
