Distributor solicitation catalog featuring the cover art of Saga #1 on one side and Fairest #1 on the other
Saga went on sale March 2012
⚠️ Buyer Beware: it is difficult to determine the validity of this catalog as a collectible as there are only two sales over the course of one year: February 20, 2022 for $125 and February 23, 2022 for $489
With no prior history to evaluate demand, the concern for an item like this is that a high dollar value is being established for when more inventory is listed for sale on eBay and elsewhere
