Owner's Description

For this book, I have shown both the direct and newsstand editions in the gallery even though I did not intentionally set out to own both. A Universal 9.8 direct edition was one of my original books in this set. I had that for awhile when the 9.8 newsstand edition came up for sale really cheap so I figured why not have both to show. In general, I don't care whether a book is a direct or newsstand edition when I am hunting it down though. I am happy to pay whatever I think a book is worth, regardless of the type of edition. If all things were equal though I would go for the direct edition because I enjoy the text in the boxes much more than I do the bar code. I enjoy these books not only for the story inside, but also for their appearance and in my opinion the direct editions are just much more appealing to look at. To me, the bar code gives the cover a cold feeling whereas the direct edition has life. I would never set out specifically to find any newsstand book. Both covers are shown here so you can judge for yourself.

I upgraded my first 9.8 copy to this Signature Series book when my set was already at 100 percent. This book was eventually replaced in my competitive set by the lone 9.9 copy!
