My Introduction

Post by dbostejano »

I've been collecting comics since about 85 or so, stopped and then started again around the death of Superman. Got into Valiant after Unity and had to pay premium for Harbinger 2 (65.00)- 9, Magnus, Solar 1-6. After the prices hit crapper, got turned off by the comic industry, stories sucked, went away for a long time. Just recently started buying comics again. Started reading about Valiant's comeback and I've been looking for pre-unity stuff since. Found my old collection, had Harby 2-25, Magnus 1,5, 12 mint condition.Solar 1-5 nm. EW, Bloodshot, Ninjak, Shadowman. Rai 1, 10. Now I have Harby 1's, nm condition. Just won EW Gold Flat from jay4u. Valiant is getting expensive. I'm into Star Wars, Halloween movies, and Video Games as well.

Welcome to the bored!

I would recommend finishing up your set in the next six months or so. Prices seem like they are gonna be going up and staying up.
