Re: Media Kit - Custom Comics
Does there happen to be a date on that custom comics pamphlet? It seems to me to be from a much earlier era than the other items. Although I guess it's possible Voyager was still able to take on custom comics work as late as Unity, but I seriously doubt it.

Re: Print Runs of 90s Zelda and Captain N The Game Master comics
The general consensus, supported by statements from people at valiant at the time, are that the runs on these books are huge. Along with that though is the fact that they were largely sold outside of the direct comic market. Walmart and the like. The cardstock cover versions of Zelda were the first....

Re: Nintendo Valiant Promo Rarity?
I don't remember ever seeing that one before. But at this point I think I forgotten more than I know so take that with a grain of salt. I've certainly never owned one I can say that for sure.
$200 seems like a good number to me.

Re: Daredevil #1 Need Help Evaluating
It is a great copy. Your interior pictures don't show the centerfold. Be sure there are 8 wraps plus the cover. Pages and interior of the cover are so white I would expect no rust on the staples. It is going to top out at fine. I am a bit worried about some of the wrinkling in the light of the water...

Re: Solar 10 cgc 9.8 vs 9.6 price discrepancy
5) There is a near-0 chance of "upgrading" a 9.6 to a 9.8 on that book
While Greg is entirely correct in the factors he pointed out, I submit that #5 is absolutely the biggest factor.

Re: Question for people who own original VH1 color pages
When Janet explained the process to me she said the artists original inks needed to be transferred to a different medium that accepted the watercolors. This was done with a photocopy process and the size of the art was reduced to "clarify" the inks. You get sharper lines and less area to c...

Re: Pressing a Solar 10 or other Card Stock Covers
I believe that most pressers will tell you that improving cardstock cover books is an iffy prospect at the high grades. The typical defects are not removable. Embossed is just the kicker on Solar 10.

Re: In Hindsight, does anyone wish VEI would've kept the OG VALIANT continuity?
I think the loss of the GK characters made it impossible, so it became moot. In a perfect world, yes... picking up after a few issues post unity would have been ideal to me. I must admit I did like the modern 2012 "rework" for the first year-ish. Harbinger had the right edge to it, hit on ...

There are holes in every story trying to explain something 30 years ago. The only thing that surprises me here is Fred's reluctance to give a full accounting of what he remembers - even if it is a "man I just don't remember the details and I am afraid I will make it worse". The whole thing...

I'm not so sure. I think demand so far outstrips supply more being available might make things worse. None of us have THAT many already graded of any one book.

Re: CBCS grading of the Deathmate Orange Variant
I took a look at big mess of graded DM orange currently listed on eBay. My honest opinion is that the 9.8 was a mistake by CBCS. It looks like MCS sent in a pile of them and CBCS just screwed up the grade on one of them. Ironically the PGX 9.8 looks like a real unbound copy. Who'da thunk it? Yours i...

Re: Solar, Man of the Atom #1 variant???
This is just a normal variance within the print run and is common. It would be unlikely that Voyager used two different printers at that point in their history, but it is possible more than one machine was used to print the run, and the ink mix on one was different than the other. Another possibilit...

Not reading it because you don't like the hype or description pre-release is understandable.

Re: more unpublished SOLAR Annual pages coming
It's one of my favorite Solar covers, certainly my favorite Layton Solar. I did a lot of work with that cover at a copy shop to get a properly prepared version to Janet Jackson to be colored in the old Valiant style, but life intervened and she never took on the project. I did get her the materials ...
