I'm the LCS owner, and yes, I have the Valiant logo tattooed on my arm. I got it as a wedding present in 1993, so it is a bit faded. And yes, I did get a gold book for it during the Deathmate tour, when I was living in St. Louis. As I waited in line to get into the store, someone was at the front, asking if you were a Valiant fan (which I found to be kind of silly, since I was standing in line). When it was my turn, I showed the tattoo. They were apparently giving out foil cards, but the person thought I deserved more than a card, so I got a gold Turok, which I thought was pretty cool. Anyway, I had no idea this site was here and that there were this many Valiant fans still around. Very cool! I will definitely be checking back in. Thanks everyone!

PS-yeah, that's a line from the One Ring. Got the whole thing on both arms. It's an addiction.
Welcome !!!

Cool, I knew that had to be what it was. I'm a huge LOTR fan myself.

Hey, I'm a collector too. I try to give people the service I would like to get. I appreciate the kind words. Helping people get the books they want and angering wives are numbers one and two on our store "to-do" list.

Nice to see the tattoo guy on the boards. Welcome, it's always nice to hear about LCS owners who don't dismiss VALIANThounds.
