There are simple and easy things we can do to set the ground work for the forthcoming VH-T books. These simple guerilla-marketing tactics could help seed the comic community with enthusiasm and interest, and let others know that there are people chomping at the bit to see these books come out.

Re: John Taddeo wins Valiant/Acclaim characters...

(Tuesday 12:45pm Eastern)

John Taddeo just called... he is the winner.

He knew there would be a group of guys watching the board (on the edge of our seats),
so he stepped out for a minute to give me a call and to let you guys know
that he has won the bid.

There is still paperwork to be ...

I also wanted to join those that wish you the best of luck John.

Is there any way those of us interested can monitor/view/hear the auction as it progresses? What time is the auction as well, so I don't sit next to the refresh button all day.

Thanks!

I have a friend that has worked at EB since before these books came out and he has hoarded every promo to come through there. He searced his archive and couldn't find this Ironman/X-O book, nor does he remember it.

I agree with some of the others here that said these books should be taken out of the inventory, yet remain part of the image library and price guide.

What it boils down to is dissemination and availability. Every book (except these two) that are currently in the inventory were given out via a ...

Let's look at an alternate plan: right now we auction one off on ebay ($150 or so) and then sell 45 (guessing as some will be comped I'm sure) for $20 or $25 bucks - that's about $1,200 roughly (on the high end). How about if next time we produce 100 of these, auction the first one off before we ...

Another fun one. This time it's not one that I have questions about, just a fun, signed book. Got this at Comic-Con when I got the other signed stuff. Still have a bunch of other signed books, let me know if you want to see scans of them.
