So, has it been verified that there were 6,500 PINK Harbinger 0 comics printed? For years it seemed like it was thought to be 3,500. It seems like that number is growing.

I recall it being 6,500 copies; however, it is likely that only 3,500 were redeemed or actually mailed out.

Nice, Rai 0 has gone pretty crazy since the trailer... classic cover too

No surprises here, but I'm still amused how Bloodshot 1 books have disappeared in bargain bins!

POSTED!

NOTE: 6 of 10 books on this list were written by Dysart or Lemire.

Are there any non-varients that command more than double the original price. I'd be interested in finding out if any of those c or d covers have any value.

Covers C and D (etc.) sell all the time IF graded CGC 9.8. Usually in the $50-100 range. A few books that might sell more often and for a increased price are:

Divinity #1 (Regular)
Bloodshot (2012) #1 (Suayan Cvr)
Ninjak #1 (Sauvave Cvr)
Ninjak #4 (Djurdjevic Cvr)
Harbinger #7 (Lupacchino Cvr)

Wow....how this list has changed in a month! .....and there it is.... Harbinger #25 1:25 Chen comes in at #2 on the list with one huge CGC 9.8 sale! It will stay on the list until this one sale is bumped.

Harbinger #7 (Lupacchino Cvr)

The Harbinger 7 Lupacchino was a qualifying variant I believe. Retailers had to meet a minimum order of a previous issue of the A cover before they could order this. So not exactly in the same category as the others.
