Most Wanted ACCLAIM?

Post by xodacia81 »

There is a Most Wanted section for VALIANT. None for ACCLAIM. Now, the easy reason is those books were just not NEEDED :wink: but, there are plenty of us who DO collect the ACCLAIM side of things. Is there enough demand/interest/curiosity to create something for ACCLAIM along the lines of the VALIANT Most Wanted section at the front of the site? I wonder...and I wonder if Greg ever considered this. Anyone else interested? Thoughts?

I'm afraid that that would be a small site.

I love my Valiant, don't get me wrong.... but I would really dig an Acclaim site. Personally can't do anything but help Acclaim collectors get their fix and make Valiant look that much cooler ;)

Looks like we have the list....and more good stuff could be added.

Turok Oblivion is a tough book,
the Deadside issues were tougher for me than Armorines 3,
NIO isn't highly valued but wasn't that easy to track down,
all V3 Shadowman & Turok/Shadowman are 'wanted'
also the X-O Fan edition, Quantum & Woody 0, and B&W Reviews

Plus there are plenty of non-Valiant related Acclaim comics that also go for good money when you can find them!!! Among these include many of the Magic: The Gathering TPBs, which sell for an average of $25 each. Harder to find than the Q&W TPBs, IMO.

In terms of rarity what does everyone think the list should be? I mean there are some items that I've looked for on ebay and haven't seen for several months? :hm:

I used to have all the MAGIC books. I still have Homelands and I THINK I still have Dakkon, but most of them I sold in a large box last year in order to get credit to purchase VH1/VH2 items.
