I found this at Half Price Books today.

 

 

 

Nice, hope your half price is not as overpriced as mine.

 

Tell me about it. Some people find great stuff. Mine are stocked with 90s Image and Valiant.

 

What are you saying about 90s Image and Valiant!? That's some of the best stuff ever published!

Bought a East of West RRP from Boon. Great communication, great price, and very flexible. We originally agreed to meet at NYCC, but when I had to cancel at the last minute he worked with me to ship my slab. Appreciate the flexibility and outstanding communication!

Another Valiant piece. Tama the Geomancer by Robert Gill!

These are some of my modern grails. My Divinity 1 1:40 CGC 9.8 (I should be getting back from CGC soon) is another.

These Eternal Warrior 1 Gold Flats are hard to find especially in 9.8.

I just joined the club. It's not the best scan but here is my baby!

I'm kicking myself for not picking up Harbinger 1 in CGC 9.8 for $290 before the movie announcement. I kept thinking the price would go lower since sales had been trending down. Now I'd gladly buy a Harbinger 1 CGC 9.8 for $290. Guess my CGC 9.4 will have to do for a while!

Glad to see all the Valiant interest. You guys are making us proud over at Valiantfans.com.

Although it's driven by movie hype, it's nice to see people talking about VALIANT again. Now check out some of the new stuff, it's great!

I just became a member of this club thanks to these boards. Super excited with my CGC 9.8 copy!

Just picked up a Saga 1 RRP. Great transaction even though I split payment up. Lightning fast shipping! Appreciate the sale!

I'd buy a glossy copy if I came across one, but I wouldn't pay a premium for it. I do like that "mutant" Rai 0. Quite the smudge!

Well I'm a big VALIANT collector and I don't feel the need to go out and own a Rai 0 Glossy. I don't feel there is a significant enough difference, but maybe that's just me.

Sold a IH 181 CGC 5.5 to Nick. Easy transaction and he worked with me on my first time seller issues. Fast payment and great communication!

Bought several books. Great transaction. The books arrived quickly and were well packaged. Thanks again!

My two newest pieces of OA.

Archer & Armstrong - Clayton Henry Pencils

Quantum & Woody - Mark Bright

I added more black, white, yellow and a little blue.

How did you determine how much to add? Is this the kind of thing I can figure out and set once or will it be different for each slab?

Thanks. I'm a complete scanning/editing noob.

Here is the same Chew 1 sharpened. Any of you pros have any suggestions for the colors?

I received my Microtek i700 today. It works great and was cheap on eBay. Here are a couple of scans at 150 dpi with default color settings in Vuescan.

I think they turned out pretty good and will probably get better as I play with the color settings. I picked a predominately white book and one with more color to better compare the images. You can see some of the lint on the scanner glass. I just need to clean the glass with a lint free cloth and it comes right off. I just haven't done a good job with it yet.

I just picked up a used Microtek i700. Haven't received it yet, but it was cheap enough to take a risk. I plan on using it with a Windows 7 machine and Vuescan. I will let you all know how it works out.

Scanner will be delivered on Monday. I'll post scans Monday evening. I'm excited to see how the i700 performs.

Bought a Chew 1 CGC 9.8. The slab was packaged and shipped about an hour after I paid. Great Seller.

Fast Payment and outstanding communication! Thanks again!

Leave you feedback here!

Nice books! I wish I had the quid to buy the Issue 1!

I have a couple of CGC 9.8s that I wouldn't never have submitted to CGC as I think they are 9.6s. In my eye this is mainly due to corner blunting and damage.
