You know, it's been way too long since I've gotten online death threats.

Am I becoming too nice in my old age?

Your just jealous.

they even said they would eat my heart. And my favorite was the one that quoted Mike Tyson telling me

" I will eat your children"

Died down after a week though, got kinda lonely after that

Uhnnnn. The only reason I own a copy XO issue 0 at all is because the completist in me said I must have it.

The story was sub par, adding nothing to the mythos of XO that we hadn't already figured out for ourselves, and the inclusion of Elvis as the "map bring" was sillly beyond words.

The completist in me now that says I must own every shade of the rainbow that this story was published in has been tied up, put in a burlap sack, weighted down, and thrown off the nearist pier.

The Ivory issue is up for sale, no reserve!

Chiclo · Post by **Chiclo** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 12:12 am

$20 shipping?

I don't have a slabbed X-O 0. I bid way low.

imagesowner2 · Post by **imagesowner2** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 10:10 am

I sold mine for $20.00 , I don't see this one going very high at all. but you never know.

Good case in point. I knew a guy in Florida who had 3 or 4 (can't remember) copies of the Bloodshot Platinum error. he sold them all at cover price because he thought it was no big deal. then, as you all know they recieved alot of attention and have sold for upwards of $1000 or more.

Thats why I say you never know. CGC certified this as a legitimate error book which does carry some weight. maybe not to everyone here on the boards who think (just as my friend in Florida did) that this is no big deal at all. there are people in this world who crave error books. Double covers, inside out covers, die errors. color errors, Blah blah blah.

now I know that this one is more common than the platinum by far(hell, i have at least 6 or 7 more myself) but it is different. and for people who collect error books, this is a gem

so I don't judge the book because of my opinion, I judge it for what it is worth. Clearly collectible to someone who loves this kind of stuff.

and I hope Key comic does finally sell it for something, because as of right now they are in the hole with listing fee's.

'Nuff said

By cover price, I mean cheap. the Platinum had no cover price. he did not price it any higher than regular. I actually considered buying them all but ( as always) decided to get a more important book like Spidey or G.I.Joe, whichever i liked more at the time. probably Joe. I still have complete sets of Joe I refuse to sell.

Point of my raving is this. Someone thinks this books is special. and apparently so does CGC .

I think we are all looking through our piles of x-o #0 and pulling out all the "Ivory" copies we have .

Just in case.

Am I right?

I started posting the other day. I had to save my good name

Take a look at the laser from the hand cannon, as well as the small plasma burst around the laser. I would chock this up to a production run that did not add enough white to the mix- or however the book coloring is produced.
Exactly.

I agree. This seems the most likely reason. Since the white spine also seems linked to this error, it was probably an entire print run. One of the members with experience in the industry could tell us how many books are generally in a batch but I think it could be 10K+

My opinion stands about deep pocket bidders but that does not make them bad people. I can vouch that he is an ok guy as well as WBC. WBC has helped me out on several different occasions now and he was one of the people I had my little rant about some time ago.

If someone here did this, they need to be banned immediately and seek medical attention! I don't care who you are, this is uncalled for. I certainly hope it wasn't someone here!

Odds are it was...... I figure most people that have that kind of emotion tied into Valiants are prob. a member here.

Reguardless, lame.

Wow. It's interesting though, in a few ways.

This very well MAY BE the only one of these EVER, because chances are CGC will realize that this is not a variant edition, or even a printing error, but merely a printing inconsistency.

Plus, people will realize that these are common as can be (as evidenced by the large numbers people here have in their collections), and in no way rare, or even desirable.

Someone is buying a CGC case. Not the book inside it.

WTF?

I urge anyone who owns several copies of this issue to get it graded and get rich!

Wish I could PM the bidders and tell them that it really is a common error.

I think I may contact ebay. I can't stand around and let this guy make a killing on false information

Fanboy375 · Post by **Fanboy375** » Wed Nov 21, 2007 8:12 am

Lets all report the listing as being false, which we have determined it is.

I bought a case of 100 X-O zeros for 10.00 recently and about a 1/3 were the ivory printing error.

Sounds like a hoard pic.

Good price BTW.
