Of the 2099's I have Spidey and Deadpool, not sure if I have any other, although if I did it'd be in the back boxes from childhood. Still a nice rendition that that could be a go to every now and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 90s nostalgia during the 1990s. Valiant was one of the first things I targeted when I found eBay in the late 1990s, but it's hard to say that was "nostalgia" since the books were basically still new. But seriously, I have recently been buying graded sportscards for the specific cards that I wanted when I was a kid in the late-1980s and early 1990s. I did a little bit of card buying about 10 years ago, but the "nostalgia bug" has bitten me again and the cards that I was opening packs trying to find in the 1980s are the ones I've been targeting in slabs. Thankfully, they were much more common than comic books, so most of them are still pretty cheap (unless you must have a PSA 10, which I mustn't). Valiant comic nostalgia (particularly the early books) might only be a year or two away. If anyone is also a baseball card collector around here, early 1991-1992 Valiant is a lot like 1989 Upper Deck. It was a new company, very hot pretty much right from the start, even though it was actually pretty common, and there could be quite a bit of fond memories associated with those comics (even if many consider the characters "retired"). 1992 Valiant Harbinger #1 is a bit like 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey, Jr. #1.

Sold the Ryan rookie and got my money back. Griffey is raw: upper deck and score rookie. I really like Bowman too, but that's another story. I still have some moderns like iconic or something Dirk nowitzki, but I don't have anyone to say yay or nay on binders and binders full of cards.

Hamlet Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 On 11/12/2021 at 1:27 PM, GeeksAreMyPeeps said: A good deal of my long-term speculation box is Valiant. There are enough comic stories there now, and there are enough companies looking for content for streaming services, and the investors sunk enough money in, that I figure *something* will be done to bring the rest of their properties to the screen at some point. I went to a local dollar box sale today, and they had a few pre-Unity Valiants. I missed the Valiant boat originally, but I figured for $1, why not? The Solar 10s are one of each print, although the condition on the 1st print is marginal- WolverineX and BoogieWoogie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recent momentum of FQ 1 9.8 really surprised me. It is a very difficult book in that grade due to the paper quality. Batman beyond 1 (1999) still has 2-3 years before the rule of 25 hits so I'm sure there is room to organically grow (plus movie/new tv show would renew a lot of interest on top of the nostalgia).
