Valiants, whats HOT and whats NOT?

[nochips]

I need some advice. I just purchased two long boxes of Valiants, over 300 NM issues..... It looks like most of the books they put out in the first few years.. What should I be looking for?? I eventually want to sell them all, what books are the hard ones to find??

The number 0's as they were obtained by redeeming coupons from books and sending them in. Harbinger 0, X-O 0 and Magnus 0 being the more valuable ones.

Any of the 1990's Nintendo issues? While these are certainly not rare, I actually spent some time looking for CGC graded first issues of these in 9.8. I still do not have them all.

X-O #0 was not a mailaway book.

pre unity will always have a market

There is a wealth of information at The Best Damn Valiant Resource on the Internet.

 

Off the top of my head?

 

Solar Man of the Atom 1 - 1st Solar

Solar Man of the Atom 10 - 1st Eternal Warrior

Solar Man of the Atom 11 - 2nd Eternal Warrior

Harbinger 1 - 1st Harbinger

Magnus 1 - 1st Magnus

Magnus 5 - 1st Rai

Magnus 12 - 1st Turok

Magnus 64 - Last Issue (Tougher book lower print run)

Eternal Warrior 1 - Gold Issues two versions

Eternal Warrior 4 - 1st Bloodshot - awesome cover

Eternal Warrior 5 - 2nd Bloodshot

Eternal Warrior 8 - 1st Timewalker

Eternal Warrior 50 - Last Issue (Tougher book lower print run)

Archer and Armstrong 0 - 1st Archer and Armstrong

Archer and Armstrong 0 Gold - 1st Archer and Armstrong

X-O Manowar 1 - 1st Aric - X-O Manowar

X-O Manowar 4 - 1st Jack Boniface (later becomes Shadowman)

Shadowman 1 - 1st Jack Boniface as Shadowman

Shadowman 8 - 1st Master Darque (Think Dr Doom of Valiant but cooler)

Rai 0 - Just all around important

Bloodshot 6 - 1st Ninjak

 

Harbinger 0 - mailaway

Magnus 0 - mailaway

Then there was a pink variant on the Harbinger... what am I forgetting?

 

Speedy? Bosco? You guys know this stuff even more than I do.

 

Honorable Mention

X-O Manowar 14 and 15 - Just because they were awesome - Aric teams up with Turok to go hunt bionic dinosaurs... a time displaced visogoth and a time displaced Native American hunting bionic dinosaurs through the city- What is not to like?

Pre-Unity crossover issues. Gold and Platinum logos. Check for coupons in Harbinger and Magnus.

[Shaven Kev-migration]

Check out the price guide at that valiant fan site...I think Harbinger 1 with coupon intact is still king.

[Bosco685]

Harbinger 6 - 1st Jack Boniface (becomes Shadowman)

 

Nope.

 

X-O Manowar #4.

[Bosco685]

Rai 0 - Just all around important

 

1st full Bloodshot appearance, right after Eternal Warrior #4's 1st cameo appearance. Then Eternal Warrior #5 is the 2nd full appearance.

 

Great books!

[Buzzetta]

Harbinger 6 - 1st Jack Boniface (becomes Shadowman)

 

Nope.

 

X-O Manowar #4.

 

Looked it up and fixed - thanks!

[Bosco685]

Bloodshot #6: 1st Colin King (Ninjak)

Bloodshot #7: 1st Ninjak in costume

 

A really cool set of books.

[Bosco685]

Harbinger 6 - 1st Jack Boniface (becomes Shadowman)

 

Nope.

 

X-O Manowar #4.

 

Looked it up and fixed - thanks!

 

Not a problem. This is one of the kings of the early books.

Harbinger 0 - mailaway

Magnus 0 - mailaway

I believe the coupon mail-away Harbinger # 0 was pink, and the Harbinger #0 that came with the TPB was blue.
