Here's a picture, enjoy.

From the same store, I picked up a stack of Nintendo comics for a buck a piece. The only reason I did was because they were all in very nice condition. I know they are hard to find in great shape so I took the plunge.

The interesting thing about one of the books is there is a subscription coupon inside. Here's the picture. Could this be the first VALIANT book with coupon?

Yup, those are the same Valiant Action Packs I've got. The Gamma, I believe,comes with the Valiant Voice 17.

Never seen the Nintendo subscription coupon before.

Very cool!

BTW, were all the Nintendo books the same? ...Or did you get different numbers?

They actually still sell these Action Packs at the dollar store near me...because they are, very much, with the times.

Yikes, all in the same place? Very uncommon.

The SMB with the paper covers are the volume 2 books.

If you think any of them have a chance at 9.6 or higher, I am willing to *pay* for them.

That first action pack looks like it has a price tag from EB games. Did they sell comics at one point?

Hey, if I PP you some money, can you pick up some for me?

Laugh...I created a monster.

I'm going to swing by the place today or tomorrow and see if they still have them. If they do...I'll buy them all...and we'll all start on from there...

Very uncommon and very specific. All this guy had was a nice run of Nintendo books and the Valiant Action Packs. Nothng else Valiant related.

I'm leaning toward keeping them for now. If I decide to pass them on, I'll let you and Zero know.

BTW, I love the fact that if you fail to spell Valiant in all caps, greg fixes it for you.
