I'm not sure what the difference in print run is or if the 75 cent variants are more rare. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. Just wondering if anyone knows what the case is for these? I have issue #2 75 cent variant and was surprised to find that it was less in the guide than the 60 cent regular.

So we don't get the whole picture. Wolverine 2 75 cent variant was sold in the US. If you only have a few dozen, it's very hard to put values on it. If people want to sell me there 75 cent variants at a cheaper cost then let's have them. I always put my money where my mouth is.. I'll buy your rare 75 cent variants for cheaper, you want to sell? Lol. I wouldn't either. Lack of data is the problem due to their rarity Comic Rarity

It's in great shape, probably a 9.2. I was just curious as to the print runs of the 60 cent and 75 cent to see just "how rare" it really is. I looked at how many CBR members actually own a copy and I'm very surprised to find the variant covers only have about 30 or so people on here that own a copy opposed to over a thousand people who have a 60 cent copy.

CBR when first listing the Wolverine first series most likely didn't include the 75 cent variant so it wasn't an option at the time. People that have been using this website for a while when entering their Wolverine books just checked the box no matter what the cover price was. Then when CBR added the cover price variant probably not that many people went back and changed it.
