Is there any demand for the VH2 & VH3 Acclaim runs?

Post by skiw »

Hey All,

I am back after a long while and am in the process of cleaning out some storage space for due to a new addition to the family. Unfortunately, the wife does not feel that keeping multiple copies of "comics that I do not read" are worthwhile in storage is a good thing. As a result, I was wondering if there is any demand for the Acclaim VH2 & VH3 stuff right now. Specifically, are the prices high enough to make selling them worthwhile? Most of the books I have are variants or the really low print items. Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Skiw :wink:

Probably referring to the volume 3 of some books ... the only one that comes to mind is Shadowman. Maybe there were others that came out in that period that could also be referred to as VH3? Armorines V2? Deadside?

VH3 is the name given to Acclaim's re-re-boot in 1999.
Acclaim's re-boot in 1997 was "VH2".
Then they stopped publishing in 1998.
When they started again in 1999, it could be called "VH3",
especially since Shadowman is Volume 3.

But, Quantum & Woody is the same in VH2 and VH3,
so it's probably more like a VH2-a and VH2-b...
Since neither effort is longer than two years,
it hard to justify really proclaiming them Universes VH2 and VH3...
So I generally stick to labels like:
Valiant (1991-1996) (VH1)
Acclaim (1997-2002) (VH2)

VH3 is a good way to imply 1999-2000 issues
without having to name the books.
(Armorines Volume 2, Shadowman Volume 3, N.I.O., Deadside,
Quantum & Woody #18 - 21, #32, Unity 2000)
(...and except for Turok Evolution in 2002, Acclaim was all done in 2000.)

My first reaction was to send you a PM offering to buy. If you really want to most bang for the buck, inventory and list your items in the BUY/SELL forum and list prices maybe based on this sites price guide. *shrug* Just an idea!

There is no interest and they are worthless. I be happy to take them all off your hands to free up space for comics of value. :wink: :twisted:

Well, due to the level of interest I will compile a list on the weekend and post it on the buy/sell/trade thread (and pm it to those of you who have contacted me already). Hopefully all of my VH2s will find a good new home.

Would anyone object if I dropped Gordon (aug002) a line as well? :twisted:

Cheers,
Skiw :wink:

Hi All,

The list has been posted on the Buy/Sell Thread. I think that there is another half box kicking around somewhere but I will need some time to dig them out.

Is anyone interested in Broadway or Defiant books as well? If yes, PM me and I will send a list.

Cheers,
Skiw :wink:
