Valiant first appearances (quick version for beginners) Now with pictures!

2 2

Got this in today from my coupon submission I sent in 6 weeks ago before the movie announcements. Needless to say I'm pretty happy with the outcome, I bought it off eBay early last year for $80. I always wanted this book as a kid when I saw it in the Wizard top 10 every month in the early 90's, so it's been a long time coming.

Great outcome!

Last year $80 was a risk on a raw copy... you could get an already-slabbed 9.6 for about $90.

Right now you would have been ahead as long as you got a CGC 9.4 out of it... possibly even 9.2.

Awesome that it's 9.8!

Did you buy that from me? I sold one for $80 about a year ago, I think?

It's possible, but I'm not sure about transactions that far back.

Here is a bad picture of some recent additions.

I paid $6.00 or less each,except for the two Harbinger #1, they were $25.00 apiece.

I took a flier on the Harbingers, one had the coupon, the other didn't.

How are the cards in Magnus #5 - #7?

Very Nice Work, Indeed!

How are the cards in Magnus #5 - #7?

I had not checked until you mentioned it.

Here is the Magnus #5

This is the #7.

FYI on recent Harbinger # 1 9.8s for those keeping score:

+5 new 9.8's on the census from Mar. 10- Aug. 14, or ~ +1 a week since the movie investment announcement.

All four cards uncut in each book...

I assume you meant April 14th?

Love the new bleeding cool article on speculating. Buy bloodshot and harbinger new and old and sell TMNT Donatello

Except at this point people don't seem to give a hoot about New 2012 Valiant....maybe when all the old Valiant dries up.

If someone were to give a hoot about 2012 valiant, what issues are worth picking up?

I also had a minor score on Saturday, found a Harbinger 10 in the $2 bin at the LCBS

Found 2 Rai # 0's in the $1 bin. Love the simple white/red cover.

Nice find. So funny to me because I don't ever recall some of these keys ever being dollar books even during the crash.

Rai 0 is still the single best valiant issue ever

New Harbinger has 25 Issues, a few variants, and a really good story.Spun off a few more series as well, Harbinger Omegas, and Imperium. I strongly recommend that anyone that actually likes to read comics, read this line. Especially if you read the old Valiants back in the day like I did. You see similarities, but it is a great new take on these characters.

Also, Rai #8 was just released. We have to wait until August for #9 and Clayton Crain to get caught up on Savior, and whatever else (Walking Dead #1 cover ect.) he is doing.

PHENOMENAL story in the new Rai series.

And I only like Transformers More than Meets the Eye so this must be good.

Bloodshot Movie?

You young guys talking about scoring on Harby #10 boggles the mind.

As a "post-unity" non-variant, the only book that became worth anything originally was Rai #0.

After that, Harby #10 was *maybe* a $10 book (when Harby #1 was $150, 1993 dollars.)

Post-unity regular issues were mostly drek, even the "stars" like Shadowman #8, #16, Solar #14, Harby #10, etc.
