Huge props! My favorite interior pages of the enter series! I posted a scan of that dps to the adventurers thread a couple years back. You have great taste! That happens to be my favorite 2page in the entire series! Amazing

I had about 50 copies collected, including a potential 10.0 that I dropped! The 9.9 is the best one I've seen other than that copy. Well, those 50 copies, along with my television, walked out of my house last year without me giving permission.

I say. We've had a few really good threads in Copper over the years about Valiant. And I totally agree about Valiantman's Rai 0 10.0 beauty. Never boring! CC started one a few years back that brought out some good discussions. Valiant pre-Unity keys vs. the Marvel silver age keys So this is a gateway to greater things thread?

I say.

Most of those are in modern for some reason. And I'm too lazy to go through all of those. So if you'd like to contribute, be my guest. If not, send this over to the modern wasteland to be buried amongst the variant and Walking Dead threads.

I stopped collecting comics around 1990, so I missed the whole Valiant craze. I know bits and pieces of things about it, but I'd like to know more about it from the people who were immersed in it. Its rise/fall, books, rarities, pictures, etc. If there's already a thread about it, then I blame the legendarily craptastic search engine for its continued failure. If there isn't, I can't believe Valiantman hasn't started this over the last 10 years. And it gives me another chance to see his Rai 0 10.0 again. I figure is start another fun thread to counter all of the bad blood and negativity happening around here, lately. Anyhow, enlighten me.

Even if this is the "Copper's Heating/Selling Well on Ebay" thread I was saying it’s a shame they are not known and appreciated. I wasn’t thinking about the value. Also, I was talking of books up to 1991 max. (and so the very early Wolverine, in this case) – most of the following years' productions were just bad. I would not pay $0.50 myself for most of what Marvel published in the 1990s. i have two kids, a big mortgage, and a job that doesn't pay that well (considering where i live). i spend 97% of my waking hours stressed about money and 93% of my dream-time as well. Find something that makes you money other than your job. Yeah, like my exotic dancing. When the ladies make it rain, I get to add to my collection.

Yep. CGC 9.8 Harbinger #1 was $350 in March 2015. They're about $700 now. Doubled in six months. CGC 9.8 Batman Adventures #12 was $1,700 in March 2015. They're about $1,700 now. Valiant certainly equals garbage. Do people dress up like Harbinger at comic cons? I see many girls with the same body shape of Zeppelin at comic cons. Men and women. I see a lot of zeppelins floating around at the cons.

I started this thread in the copper section, and it got moved to the modern wasteland for whatever reason. As discussed a million times over in copper, the period after 1992 has been affectionately called the chromium age, or what I call the dark age. From what I read, the consensus is that the "modern" age really began with Ultimate Spider-Man.

Assuming you're serious.. uh oh... Here comes the Turtle power. Prepare yourself.

but but but youre covering the best part! Oh yeah! I have to correct that when I get a chance.

Piff. ow/w.

I've tried finding a high grade copy of this. As well as the Jawbreaker issue. Tough books. Definitely. I've also used the calculations of the ASM #667 print run estimates and determined that there are probably fewer than 2 copies in existence. The 3 slabs on the CGC census must be resubmissions of the same book, and the 3 copies available on Ebay are scams and stolen scans. If anyone disagrees with this, they're really disagreeing with the math of the ASM #667 estimates... and I didn't do those. Those are from a guy who really knows what he's talking about. I'm just applying the same math here... plus the fact that the book is 35 years old... plus the much lower census number of 3. It's simple really, not sure why anyone would doubt it. Unless they hate Acme & Dingo. There are several "rare" books that have reached those kind of prices in the copper age. 297 Pressman 9.8, venom black, and several black and white books. If a Jawbreaker, or Dingo boots ever came up in a 9.8, or even 9.6, I could see them selling for that, too.

Now is our chance! Time to build the hype. Who better than Tomato Cat to match the popularity of that stupid spider guy?

The kids these days. Dropping $2K on a book with a "perceived" rarity. Maybe my true limited edition copy of Prime Slime Tales #1 will take off eventually, if us copper people can get it together?

You mustn't tease us like that. Cuz they make bath times so much fun?

Why is Mr. Bubble Pink? Why are rubber duckies always yellow?

I had the hair, but not the ten gallon hat.

Sorry. Couldn't help myself.

Seriously? I couldn't give away of my copy a year and a half ago.

Oh, and Storm Shadow's bow seems to always be snapped.
