My Story

Post by HippityHoppity »

It all began in the state of California I was 14 Years old selling sports cards at a booth working for my neighboor. A mysterious warlord was selling comics across our booth. Then it happened it was amazing artwork that drew me near it was the artwork on the RAI #1. (I have some mysterious Ninja marshall arts fetish, Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe, Rai from Valiant, Wong Fei Hong from Once upon a time in China.

Anyways, I purchased it then and was locked in jumped to Eternal Warrior then Bloodshot then Ninjak. I have always been a freak when it comes to collecting anything. From Cards, to Comics to Figurines. One is never good enough I always have to have one of everything its a rather costly disease. Anyway I lost my Valiant ways when I turned 16 ran the streets left home never looked back.................

Just last year curiousity led me to ebay were came across a perfect copy of RAI#1 which was my favorite comic book. Acquired it on ebay found the site now my disease has kicked in and I must acquire 1 of every Valiant book ever made particularly the Rarest of the Rarest in the highest grade! :wink:

Yep, those are the symptoms. The only thing that helps is tracking them all down.

Familiar illness. Somehow getting beautiful Valiants makes it better.
Nice story.
