Even worse - they were packed up for me.

Sorry Dino. Hey, if you didn't want to go through with the trade, you should have just told me! :-)

That looks like overkill, and he wants to display CGCd comics. There has got to be a clear anti-glare UV blocking material you can buy to put over the CGC case. I would inquire at a picture framing shop. I think if you use a room that is shielded from sunlight, and has incandescent lighting, you may...

Didn't snipe it, just placed a bid on it and forgot till I got the "you've won" E-mail.

A vvss for under cover price, I guess that's my best deal.

I agree with John. While there are "profiteers" who try to hide the value on their item in shipping and handling costs, the actual costs for ebay transactions are significant. Worst, you cannot directly charge for these costs. It is against ebay rules. So, for example, if you wanted to lis...

I get "fun yet" polys from "ComicZone" on ebay. I think they are less than $30/1000 shipped. I buy boards to fit them direct from egerber.com (they fit perfect). If you buy in 2000 quantity, I think they run just under $0.08 each. I personally feel these boards are well worth the...

It's in the "Valiant Rebirth" thread.

And I'm not saying yours are fakes! I have seen many legit copies where the coupon was missed by the staple.

This is good information. It makes sense, although that 5% may be a really rough number. I have to think it was somewhat regional since if these got distributed widely they would be more well known. A set of all 6 would be really hard to get at the same store (even assuming 5% of the run) if there w...

Does that mean you sold it for more than $900? And how can't you remember? I remember everything I bought for over $900 in my life - and I'm 33! (But they were all less than $911.11, be assured).

I have two points here: 1. The first print is hoarded in private collections. You will always see the second print more at shops. 2. The overall condition you find the second print in, on average, is much better than the first. They were treated with kid gloves, unlike the first print, since the fir...

Can you tell me where there are shows where the dealers bring Valiant? It's been our collective experience that they are hard to find at shows.

I have one of these as well - a number 6 with a blank coupon, that is. If you send them to CGC, they will note the coupon is blank vs. missing. At one point I tried to get a feel if there were copies like this of 1-5, but I am not sure if any turned up. Anyway, it appears a group of 6's got out with...
