Sorry for my ignorance. What does the #125B mean? Newstand addition.

There's usually the issue number then various letters and combinations of letters to demote the variant or version. So it might be 121a and 121b one is direct the other newsstand. You might even have a C that is, like, the Dynamic Forces variant or something like that.

'A' and 'B' issues are usually for Direct and Newsstand editions (IF they have both listed that is, they're working on adding more of the newsstands all the time), as Xvipah73 said, and as noted in their sub-titles. However, A and B are not always used for the same designation, depending on just when the issue was published, so you'll see both being used to designate direct or newsstand issues, even reversing in the same run of a title. And if they don't have a pic for the newsstand, then B and up covers may be for store exclusive or artist variants, but that's noted with the issue's description. RI is for Retailer Incentive.
See a bit more about the A/B opinions/CPG explanation in this thread: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic15810-inventorying-direct-and-newsstand-comics.aspx
You can't search using the letters tho, so just use the regular issue number and then find whatever one matches what you have or want to see value for.
