1,000's of Valiant back issues at $.25 each!

So I visit one of my local comic retailers today and they have recently announced they are going out of business. Well, since I'm just getting back into comics, and have had a deep love of Valiant for years, I decide to head over there and check out what they have.

Almost every back issue they have is marked down to $.25! So I spend the next 90 minutes going through all their back issues and find a TON of Valiant comics. Now, I'm not a wealthy man, so I didn't go too crazy, but I did get $66.50 worth of issues, I'll let you do the math. There were some great variants that I picked up for $5 or less including X-O #15 Pink, Unity Gold and Platinum, and Rai #9 Gold.

The thing is, none of the regular issues I picked up were unique, they had more of everything! I have no idea if they would ship to you, or even dig through it all for you, but if you are in the area I would suggest you check it out. The place is called Comics & Things, they are located at the Holland Plaza Shopping Center in Virginia Beach, VA. and you can call them at 757-486-5870.

Happy hunting!

Sounds like someplace that COMICKINGS might be interested in raiding!

Sounds like a Valiant lovers dream come true. If this happened to me I would have to pinch myself to make sure I was not asleep.

I have also visited this store for the sale. In the past few weeks I have picked up a lot of good Valiant books. I found copies of Magnus 64, Turok 47, Eternal Warrior 50, Bloodshot: Last Stand, and a whole mess of gold editions to top it off and other top notch books.

I very much doubt it though if they will go through it for you. I tried to get them to let me go through stuff they had in the back and it was a no go. I also asked them if they had certain stuff and if they could check it out for me and I was again turned down. There is no real order to a lot of the books so it's almost a scavenger hunt in the boxes.

There are still lots of Valiants in there to choose from though. In fact I have also botices some Broadway and Defiant books in there for those interested in them.

I also have been there about 3 times in the past 2 weeks and have picked up about 200 Valiants at .25 cents each. My best finds was a Magnus #3 no card though but still a quarter. Many, many, many near the end issues of all the titles and a lot of the Volume 2 Acclaim Valiants. Its thinned out pretty good now on the absolute best stuff, but you could easily still find 100 issues to add to your collection easy and only spend $25 doing it.

I was able to get these off the wall:

Unity 0 Red for $16
Rai 9 vvss for $2.28
X-O Database 1 vvss $6.50
Magnus 0 with card $6.50

I am hoping he marks the books down again before he closes shop so I can dig in more on what he has. They are suppose to stay open now until Febuary instead of closing this weekend.

He did have a copy of Rai 3 and 4 I was thinking about getting but opted not to. And it's a good thing. I went to Comic Chest, also in VA Beach, and got them both for $5 each.

Geez, is Virginia Beach suddenly a Valiant collector hotbed or what?

Na, Seattle's got all the Valiants

Great score guys, especially good that so many board members were able to get some great deals and save some Valiants from a bleak future. Congrats!
