SOLD P$ Some of the Rarest VEI .. Poker books!
SOLD P$
———-
I’m getting close to a handle on things.. and didn’t want to offer these, but beggars can’t be choosers..
I could use some help in determining a fair price to let these go..
I believe these are from the 7th, 8th, 11th and 12th poker nights.

*SQUEE*, man. I'm sorry that its come to this. I hope these books help you get your head back above water.
As for value? No poker book has been sold, to my knowledge. Two of those are Dinesh era books. Two are post Dino.
Pretty long odds that poker books will be sold again. Someone will jump on these.

Re: Some of the Rarest VEI .. Poker books!
I really like the Punk Mambo book,
looks even cooler with all the poker players signatures.
Have no idea on price.

I wish their was a Spinal Tap comic, and I had a copy CGC graded at 11.

Re: Some of the Rarest VEI .. Poker books!
Thanks man! I’m so super close in normal ways, but also dealing with some for lack of any better word.. stupid individuals. I owe a “guy” that I considered a friend $300, with a arrangement to pay him back in 2 months.. he screwed me over and I said that’s it I’m done with you and then and he threatened me saying give him all my money now.. and he knows where I live..Blood of Heroes wrote:*SQUEE*, man.

In hearing distance of a security guard at a card club..
Who is a 20 year veteran Stockton sheriff working his side job, lol.
I wish I could tell you the stories of my life this year, even since just sdcc, but there just wouldn’t be enough time, lol.
Can’t wait for this year.. if I last long at the game it’s always awesome.. but I’ve always had more fun sucking out early in the game and having more time to talk with everyone there, lol!
I very much blame Fred for his advice in 2013 for actually getting me into poker. This month was actually the first month in 4 years I came played and didn’t come out ahead.. and that was because I was listening to that former friend.

Re: Some of the Rarest VEI .. Poker books!
Seems like a couple of these (not these exactly, but PN books) were sold a few years back in the $200-300 each range.

Re: SOLD P$ Some of the Rarest VEI .. Poker books!
I will give the books a good home. Don't know much about the poker nights but these seem like interesting curiosities. Will make a nice addition to the Valiant collection.
Does anyone have a list of which books were used for all the different poker nights.

Re: SOLD P$ Some of the Rarest VEI .. Poker books!
That’s a great question! Unless someone answers before I do, I’ll look into what books were from what year when I get home. They all blend together at this point. Punk Mambo is 2019 for sure.

2019 Punk Mambo
2018 Shadowman
2016 Bloodshot
2015 XO Manowar.....This one is my favorite because fellow board member and poker attendee Miss Jay did the cover art on that book. Her sig should be on there. She’s awesome.

Re: SOLD P$ Some of the Rarest VEI .. Poker books!
Well this is what I have for a checklist so far.
2019 Punk Mambo 1:100
2018 Shadowman (2018) Gold
2017 X-O Manowar (2017) 2 Blank Cover
2016 Bloodshot Reborn 14 Linewide 1:120
2015 X-O Manowar (2012) 38 1:20
Not sure which year this was from but it was another poker series book
X-O Manowar (2012) 6 Zicher 1:50 Line Variant
Also since Valiant came back in 2012 (7 years ago) how are there 12 Poker series night books. It obviously happens more than annually at SDCC.
Would be cool if we could get the full checklist. Surely with the collective knowledge on the boards we can get the full checklist built.

Re: SOLD P$ Some of the Rarest VEI .. Poker books!
I have a few, but I don't have access to them at this time. They have definitely been around since 2012. I'm not sure if there were regular books before then.magnus20009 wrote:Where there poker books in the early years before VEI?magnusr wrote:Valiant fans gathered before the comeback.magnus20009 wrote:Also since Valiant came back in 2012 (7 years ago) how are there 12 Poker series night books.

Re: SOLD P$ Some of the Rarest VEI .. Poker books!
I'm sorry. I thought you meant just the books you bought from Aram.
Regarding the rest of the books, the first annual poker game at SDCC was in 2008. That book was either a Ninjak 1 gold or a HARD Corps 1 gold. I can't remember off the top of my head. Those books were provided by ZWH. I'll have to figure out a master list of books over the years. Between me and Dr. Solar it should be doable. The book from 2011 was technically the book from 2010 but since we didn't actually play cards, no books were given out. That's a whole other story though. 2010 came to be known as VEI 0. 2012 was Harbinger 1 1:20 and those were generously provided by Dr Solar. From 2013 on, VEI provided the poker books.
That's all for now. There's more. Should probably itemize all the cool swag Jace had made.

So you signed a poker book in 2010 and didn’t get one?

Re: SOLD P$ Some of the Rarest VEI .. Poker books!
Searching through old posts yielded this, the first ever poker book. Only seven in existence!!
There's been a poker thread every year. So finding the info shouldn't be too difficult. Scanning all my poker books will take some time though. But having all the info compiled and in one place is a good idea.

Re: SOLD P$ Some of the Rarest VEI .. Poker books!
I'll have to figure it out 2009 I want to say it was Psilords 1 gold. The 2010/2011 book was Armorines 0 gold. Those were again provided by ZWH.
There was also a book from LBCC in 2009 or 2010 (I forget). That was a poker game held at Elveen's house. The book was XO 5 with a sketch done by Mike Leeke (pretty sure) that Elveen had done. Super cool books. One of my favorites. No two sketches were the same.
