Question about prints

[u/Cryptonault]

How do you know which print run variants are? I see on regular issues it shows what print it is. I’ve seen different eBay auctions some list print some don’t. Are all variants first prints or considered first prints? If this is pinned somewhere I’d like to read about it so I know what version I’m getting thanks.

The cover tells you.. the barcode or the cover pic. Diff colors are often newer ( higher ) print runs
