Where to begin...

Well, first off...I am probably a bit younger than most of you. I went to a lcs the other day inquiring about Valiant comics and he said I was too young to be trying to complete my Valiant collection =) Anyway, I started collecting in the 90's back when Image released a bunch of crap that currently resides in my closet and a publisher named Valiant actually had some interesting comics.

I became intrigued by Valiant right around when Unity started, and at the time, pre-unity was incredibly expensive. I have Magnus #12 with an $80 price sticker on it for example, although I got it for a bit under half price when the comic store closed. Anyway, I have been lurking the forums and this site for a few years but finally got around to digging through my collection and buying some of the Valiants I was missing, so I decided that now was as good a time to post as any. Without this site and the Valiant fans I doubt I would have realized how much I used to enjoy the pre-unity stuff. So, thanks to you and it feels great to finally be registered on the forums!

Ah yes, I remember it well. Rai #3 and #4 were going for that as well. I also remember Harby #0 getting all the way up to 220 bucks around here. Welcome to the boards.

I was...9 when Unity started =) It's been fun going through my stuff though, I haven't looked at my comics in such a long time it's like a treasure hunt. Nothing incredibly rare but some cool stuff. I was a kid with an insatiable thirst for expensive comics lol and no idea what I was buying apparently. I remember getting Solar #10 and thinking wow this is a steal...I'm getting this comic for $15 and then a few hours later I notice the II, haha. Oh well, I got a few VVSS somewhere so I guess that sort of makes up for it.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Man, that bites. I almost did that once too, but luckily I glanced back down at the cover before reaching the cash register.
