Newsstand Edition is pictured and I think that is what you get:

An average buy however they don't come around that often.

That's a nice pickup. Hopefully it's someone here.

mycomicshop uses stock photos so there's no telling what version you'll get, although if I had to guess, I would say it's going to be the direct edition. When I was hunting newsstands on ebay, I avoided the MCS listings just for this reason.

In this particular auction, MCS states pic is of actual comic and not stock photo. Hopefully that's true.

I avoid their auctions altogether anymore. The last 3 books I snagged for a deal were mysteriously out of stock after I won. Go figure...

If I buy from MCS I usually do it from their website. Free shipping after spending $50.00 - they now post pictures of most of their older issues (just click on the spy glass next to the price) - and codeword sales each week for different genres of comics.

Yeah, I've had better luck (not much more) ordering directly from their website. They do have the bad habit of not keeping up with inventory though. It's not uncommon to place your order and a couple of the key books you want will suddenly be out of stock. In this age of cheap computers and Internet there is really no excuse for not being able to keep up with your inventory, even with multiple stores.
