How to collect 1990s VALIANT like an expert (30th Anniversary)

Post by greg »

I made this as a quick reference for VALIANT's 30th anniversary. Seems like there's new interest in Valiant, which is common once collectibles reach the big 3-0.

Most people don't have the patience to read hundreds of webpages, but I don't think a one-page document would have enough detail.
Let me know what you think! :high-five:

Looks great and reads well! :thumb: :thumb:

Is any of that material making it into your contributions to the Overstreet Lost Universe book coming out this month?

Also, I’m mildly surprised that RAI #0 or Eternal Warrior #4 didn’t quite make that list of most commonly submitted CGC issues!

My wife likes to draw stuff too, and she is better than me! [I'm very proud of her]... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sara-Dec ... ref=stream" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Some. I created a similar "intro" on Valiant101.com that is being included in the Lost Universe book.

The list is for Pre-Unity and Unity. They're commonly submitted to CGC, but Post-Unity.

So many wonderful memories in such a concise package. I never knew about the Rai #3 miscut covers.

Thanks Greg.
