I don't think that we've ever had a Board member who made an appearance in a Valiant comic

I wonder if CGC would give a yellow label (Signature Series) to a copy of Harbinger Files if you signed it? :hm:

That would be cool.
Until you guys started writing about it, the idea of signing copies of Harbinger Files #1 because "I" was in it never even crossed my mind. The dude with my name is a huge-seeming mountain man; I'm a 5'8" balding Jew.

Nevertheless, it's amusing to think of buying up a bunch of those issues and signing and selling them (or just signing them for others for the heck of it). Of course, I'd kind of assume it'd lower the value, not increase it.

I could coin myself "Harada's first victim", or something like that. (I haven't read the issue in a long time - I don't even know if that's true.)
Don't worry, the issue can't go much further down in value..

We do project books on this board where we get 60 or so copies of a single issue and have them signed by various people involved with it, make up a CoA and sell them for a small fee, the profit of which is donated to charity.

That's the kind of thing they are talking about when they mention a project book.
