Can someone tell me the differences in this particular issue?

Direct/Newstand version and
the Indicia 000 Error Variant version of the same two?


How do you tell which one is the error variant is?


Thanks

you have to look inside at the Indicia, hence the description smile. I used to have some of those when I bought multiples of that issue, and didn't know about the 000 error for years. No one cared then either, couldn't sell them for $2 NM, but now they get $5-10 or more on that auction site. It's not rare at all.

The direct version has a bat symbol and the newsstand has a barcode.

I understand the UPC codes, what I am referring to is the difference. For the error version, what exactly am I looking for in the indicia, does it have the 000 listed in there somewhere?

there's this internet thing called google, or google images too smile. here you go, just as the description states, it's IN the indicia, right after the word/title Batman, instead of having 457 like it should:

that's an image from collectors.com stored on cloudfront, it's safe. that'll be tree fitty.

haha funny guy, that's what I was looking for. I have several issues but could not discern what the actual error was. NOW I know. Its like looking at two Picasso's, one being a forgery, but not knowing what to look for to know which is which. And yes I did try the google, but must have worded it differently


Thanks
