SteveC Comic Guru moderator Location: Connecticut USA Posts: 616 My Collection	Posted: February 7, 2013 12:18:38 am ASM #193 is already in the database. To add the direct or newsstand it has to either be a different price or a different cover. Something different on the cover other than the UPC. http://comicbookrealm.com/series/113/0/marvel-the-amazing-spider-man-vol-1

SteveC Comic Guru moderator Location: Connecticut USA Posts: 616 My Collection	Posted: February 7, 2013 4:00:20 pm I'm assuming they've been up for years. If we start adding newsstand/direct for everything we'll be adding hundreds maybe thousands of covers to the database. That's just not a feasible option. This is the current policy. Thanks for understanding. Last edited February 7, 2013 4:11:06 pm
Canuck Wise Beyond the Years moderator Location: Alberta, Canada Posts: 1776 My Collection	Posted: February 7, 2013 4:55:44 pm Yeah these were listed back when the site first started, like Steve said adding all these at this point would just chew up space on the database. You can make note of it being the Direct Market version in the notes section when you add it to your collection. "Disliking everything is not the same thing as having an opinion"

Canuck Wise Beyond the Years moderator Location: Alberta, Canada Posts: 1776 My Collection	Posted: February 8, 2013 10:46:32 am I think we should just leave any that have been added already, as in the future you/we may want to list all versions and removing then adding again is just a lot of work and time.
