Eternal Warrior Gold Flat

reekdog · Post by **reekdog** » Sat Aug 28, 2004 12:47 am

Hi,

just found this site by pure accident and I'm glad I did! Didn't think anyone cared about Valiant anymore.

Back in '9I, I got pulled into the Valiant Universe. I loved the stories and the characters and grabbed up many of the available titles.

Fast forward to 2004. My 10 yr old has just developed an interest in comics and like a good dad, I turned him on to Valiant Comics

While pulling out issues for him to read, I was reminded of what I had collected. I have several copies of #1's and some 0's for Archer & Armstrong, XO Man-O-War and Harbinger along with 15 copies of Eternal Warrior #1 Gold Flat.

I'm going to put some books up on ebay, if anyone is interested, I'm willing to sell a few copies of EW Gold#1 as well as Harbinger 2-7 w/coupons.

I also have a question about the comic grading I see people talking about. Since I have so many copies of EWGold#1, would it make since to have them CG graded? If so, how do I go about it and much does it cost?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

it would be a great idea to get at least one graded-depending on the condition. check them out yourself-and select the very best-then ship it off and see what happens! there is a place on this site where you can see how many ew gold flats have been graded-and what their scores have been.

This would make a great VcVSS. Any interest?

Only if it's signed by Frank

I know it's impossible but maybe Justin could pull it off, or is Frank tougher than BWS?

I'll be down for it, but how many copies of this book can we gather? I'm sure alot of members would wanna get in on it as well.

If reekdog has 15 we would probably need another 35 or 45!

But the book isnt too expensive on ebay and we could do a system where if you send on your own copy of the book you dont have to pay as much for the VcVSS.

I'd be willing to help with this too. I'm not connected with anyone who could sign it but I'd help you guys acquire the issues.

Reekdog what are you asking for all 15 anyway? I'll PM too.

I'd be interested in organizing a CGC signiture series with these books. I will be going to at least 3 big multi-day conventions in the next year, so I should be able to swing it.

I wrote this up in a pm to Dino, and I thought I'd share....

----
I have had one gold flat CGCd, and got a 9.4. It's in my box if you look closely. I just got my second gold embossed 9.8 back. They must have used a heavier stock paper for the cover on that one. I'm probably going to keep both 9.8s, since one is Green labeled, signed by shooter.

The CGC yellow label series thing is pretty cool. They usually span a wide range of grades on the books. You're paying for the third party verification of the sig first, and the grade second. So even 8.0s would be like $20 books. (IMO)

No, what we do to avoid that is we get 75 and have the books pre-screened at 9.6, and then we have the ones that pass signed first. Hopefully we get 50.

Finding 75 gold flats will be the real trick...

I'm going to be raising some money next week. I should have a bunch of auctions up wednesday and Thursday. Should help me finance the books.

I wish we could flush the hundreds of copies of HC #1 gold someone knows about in Loisiana and have Lee sign those for a sig series. Much easier than buying 50 copies 1 at a time..

---------
If Greg gets on board, I will start soliciting for Gold flats from board members. They should have a realistic chance at a CGC 9.4, at least. And we'll all have to troll ebay and the online shops for them.
