I would have voted for Harbinger 8 if I did not already have a copy.

Just saying that if someone has a Harbinger Wars #3 Variant I would trade a SM Gold for it..

I'm not sure how Rafael Grampa feels about being called Grandpa. Unless there's a SM#5 elderly variant that I've missed :?

My personal want is an X-O 15 Kotaki Printing Error. It's the only book printed before this year that I don't have yet. There are a few variants this year I'm still tracking down.

No Rai mask error option?
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

It will be interesting to see how this list changes down the road.

There are a few books that could really zoom in price if things fall the right way.

Unity Gold is harder to find than Shadowman gold. It's always been the toughest, in my experience.

I debated that actually, and you are likely correct. Maybe next poll...

The X-O Manowar #15 (Kotakai 1:50) error is very elusive. Does anyone knows how many of them are out there?

The X-O Manowar #15 Kotakai (non-error) was the hardest one for me to track down.

Though I personally like the Eternal Warrior #5 (Mack) cover the best :)

Ninjak #1 (LaRosa Gold) appears to be leaning at the tape in the race for expensive HTF VEI 9.8 slabs! A sale this past weekend for $350; and before that one sold for $415!

I also think the Archer & Armstrong #10 1:50 is a hard to get.

XO 15 and Bloodshot 3 1:20 took me months and months to get. In fact, X-O 15 inspired me to get a sub with Ed.

Shadowman Black might be a contender on this list, as might Unity 2 and 5 (whatever the most limited versions are, maybe 1:125).
