ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

We updated from 3.3.10 to 3.3.14, which might be the first update in two years. Nothing looked different, but I didn't do a lot of testing. When the board came back up with all the current posts, I figured it was good to go.

Sorry to see this --- I definitely remember the Theebaldmoose here on the board, but I don't know if I had the chance to meet him at a convention. 50 is too young.

First and foremost for me is that VALIANT was "the world outside your window" and DEFIANT (Plasm) was "what's a window?"

I want to say 1994, because Valiant celebrated its 3rd anniversary with a VHS video, etc.

So weird. The last two posts are quotes of previous comments but with no new comments by the people that made them.


Sorry, those comments are from me. It was supposed to be one comment which I quickly edited a couple of times to add a little more (as I have done in the past without issues ...

The admin around here must be getting old and soft.

Has anyone ever heard the fable of the boy who cried "wolf"?
How about the one where the chicken screamed that the sky was falling?

Once again, we're looking at an all-caps scare-topic from a user who can't produce a single wolf hair or sky piece.

It is likely that verified counterfeit Valiants ...

The one I posted came from the publisher according to the VVSS COA picture posted. I never saw another one in all the years I hunted Valiant rarities.

To be 100% sure, look on the back of the VVSS COA. :thumb:
Greg, you were right. I’ve never opened it since buying it probably about 15 years ...

What would a celebration look like?

Bloodshot # 0 platinum MINT 10.0

This book doesn't exist in CGC.
Was this graded by another company?


While almost all of the books are cgc graded, this one is graded by "CGGROUP WORLD" which is apparently an old name for pgx world. I will likely get this one regraded considering their ...

I'm 99% sure I met Mr. Perlin at a comic convention. Class act, for sure. We'll miss you, Mr. Perlin!

My first instinct is to think we were very young 20 years ago, but...

Some of us drove (and gave driving directions) like we could benefit from more experience.

If it were me I would give him everything through Unity plus Rai #0, some of the early Bob Hall Shadowman (#10 and up), some early Bloodshot, and the BWS Archer & Armstrong. Then like Greg said let him decide if he has any favorite characters he wants to continue, or maybe continue the whole ...

Ok, it looks like the messageboard is alive again.

However, I'm using a new database... so the old stuff is... GONE!

Well, maybe we can enjoy some of the same conversations even better
the second time around! :wink:

EVERYONE, including myself, is required to register on this board again...
so ...

A recent auction I was watching.

When GPA started, they asked Comiclink to join and Comiclink said "we will give you SOME of the sales, but not everything". GPA said "no thanks". Comiclink wanted to manipulate GPA.

It wasn't a standalone. I have it and it is an inside insert of a folded flyer.

Which flyer do you have it inside?

Have we seen this before? It's single-sided, so it doesn't look like the little folded previews we have seen.

Unless you enjoy listing and packaging, it seems like the kind of thing that mycomicshop would handle for you. You might email them and ask about how they'd handle the signatures, since they're legit but unwitnessed and you're not looking to get them certified.

LOL, that last one (inside joke)
:lol: The early bird gets the first pick from yesterday's leftovers. :thumb:


Do you care to share the joke? Or, is it best left “inside” (as a joke).

It was more than 7 years ago, but my guess is that I must have bought one of these "Insane 5" (at the ...

Say what you want about Frank Miller, but this image is emblazoned on my mind and was a seminal turning point for my relationship with comics back in the 80s. It is arguably one of the greatest story arcs in superhero comics, and is certainly a favorite among folks not just of my age, but also my ...
