I thought that seller looked familiar. I just double checked my past sales and yup, SueStorm bought my run of Harbinger #1-7 about two - three months ago. I'm going to be real shocked if that #1 came from my set. :o

Maybe you're thinking about this one for $1,800 where the seller claims his copy is unpressed?

Wow. I'm going to have to start putting these on my watch list. I might pick one up at these prices.

The Rai Penguin now has a higher bid than this sold for!! I'm not sure which one is more insane??

and once I was offered a $1000 piece of artwork against a Harbinger 1 CGC 9.8. Times do change. To be honest, it could have gone a bit higher with international shipping.

Unbelievable how far this has dropped off - from all-time high $2,550 to $310. Even if you look at the very short-term from 4 months ago - from $1,000 to $310.

I am kicking myself too for getting one back in Aug. I could've saved another $200+ if I waited.

what a dooosh not allowing international bidders :screwy: :roll: ...just sent this off to them
Dear suestorm_comics,

Hello

Congrats and thanks on your recent completed sale of Harbinger 1
for 310.00. No, I was not the winner, in fact I was not even allowed to bid
on it because I live in Canada although I sent you an email kindly asking
if you would reconsider and allow me to participate. Unfortunately, you did
not even reply...how sad. Because you blocked international bidders, you
denied yourself a clear advantage in maximizing your return.
I thanked you
in the beginning because this sale has finally plunged below a
psychological $500.00 mark were it has fluctuated for the past 6 months or
so and in fact marks the single lowest sale of this item. In closing, I
would like to thank you again for you restrictive bidding policy as it has
set a new all-time low hundreds of $$ below what would be considered an
average market return and now even cheaper for all future bidders looking
for this desirable and key item!
Kindest Regards
However congrats to whomever got it for 310.00 :thumb: :thumb: :clap:

I think someone predicted that $500 is a nice price for this to settle on, but at the time that was probably wishful thinking.

They go their wish though didnt they.

So is it the economic downturn or the amount of copies available that made this so, or a bit of both?

I would also add that the majority of the active CGC Pre-Unity set builders have gotten their copies.
