I stumbled across this listing: Twisted Metal 2 #nn CGC 9.6 White Pages 2086885001 Extreme Rarity | eBay. I checked GPA and it looks like the seller accepted $2000 for it. Another copy sold for $3200 and then $3500 in 2018 and 2019 respectively. I had no idea this book even existed (why would I?) and was pleasantly surprised to see that it can sell for four figures (I love crazy books like this.)
Why? From the eBay description:
Twisted Metal 2 #nn
1st comic book appearance & origin of
Calypso. Based on the video game by Sony
Entertainment & SingleTrac.
The Twisted Metal 2 Comic is a 16 page comic book that was released in 1996 as a tie-in with Twisted Metal 2. It centers around Calypso and his backstory. It was licensed by Sony and published by DC Comics.History
Only 100 copies were ever printed, and they were subsequently given out as prizes for a contest held by Sony's Tips & Tricks department around the time of Twisted Metal 2's release. Only 50 contestants had won, so the remaining 50 copies were either given to fans who wrote in requesting a copy, or were presumably destroyed. Due to the extreme rarity of this item, it is considered one of the most valuable pieces of Twisted Metal history, and to be of "Holy Grail" status by fans. It is also considered to be canon, as it was written in conjunction with Twisted Metal 2.

I have this in the original Tips and Tricks envelope it was shipped to me in. I’ve toyed around with the idea of getting it graded for years, but I’m terrified to ship it off anywhere. Only a handful exist today. https://imgur.com/a/LT7eLp4

So cool! I'd definitely get it graded, but, yeah, shipping books like that is always scary.
