Since I do not own one, I will say this is just a preview and should not not be highly valued. ;)

That is bold. For me, it would be the 2nd most-coveted Q&W book, followed by the X-O 15 1:50 error book (which for those that don't know, has the ultra rare X-O 15 1:50 variant cover, but the interior pages for Q&W). The last raw I heard sell was for $500 (offline). It's really hard to get those variants in good shape, so a high grade copy of this, in my view, is the most coveted Q&W book. I honestly think this book is the closest to having Bloodshot Platinum potential. I view that book in high grade as a $1K+ book, minimum, if you can find one.

(1) X-O 15 1:50 Variant Error
(2) Q&W Retailer Review
(3) Acclaim Q&W 1 Variant - Because it has the photo realistic cover, and is a variant, I think it will be the more coveted #1 when the show comes out.
(4) Acclaim Q&W 1 Regular - So hard to find, let alone in high grade.

After that, I think it will be popular covers for VEI variants. Those Q&W variant issues are really hard to find, let alone in high grade. I have a 9.8 variant up right now for $60 and it's a STEAL. Seriously.

I think I may have one of the three in the census. I don't track my Acclaim books like the others. I'll have to check. I remember getting back a number of review copies in 9.8. I also remembering getting some back ungraded. Time to dig.

Is this book that much rarer than the other B&W Acclaim previews? Seems like they should all have about the same distribution number.

I recently bought a large collection which includes the Q&A, Turok, Troublemakers, Eternal Warriors, and X-O retailer review books. The Q&A appears to be flawless, so I will be sending it in for grading. xxx fingers crossed for a 9.8 xxx

I picked up a flawless Turok Retailer preview, I've considered getting graded.

:o My copy has a small bunted corner that could be pressed ... other than that, it is a 9.6 easy. :o

I'd rather have the Bloodshot Platinum though ...

No, this won't sell at that price. Even with a TV show on the way and the rarity it's not worth $900.

It's value hinges on the success of the show. If it is a runaway hit, this book will move to four figures. Considering it was a retailer review copy, most of them were probably trashed (figuratively and literally). High grade copies will be incredibly rare, much more so than TWD #1. I don't just think this because I own a copy :)
