Another Fans love rekindled

Post by VEI Reborn »

Hello all :D

Back in the early 90s, I was an avid reader of the Valiant titles. I was 12-14 and I collected as many as I could with what little money I had. I only collected comics for a few years and ended up selling them all very cheap. I havent touched a comic in since say `95. I came across an issue of Rai when I was helping a friend move a few weeks back and it rekindled my love. I have since been buying furiously all my favorite titles.

These are the issues I have picked up in the past 4 weeks. Some of them are CGC rated and some are Gold issues as well. I also got multiple copies of some of them as I bought ''super lots'' of them from auctions. My favorties that I picked up so far are the Magnus #0 w/ and w/o coupons CGC 9.8. Magnus #01 CGC 9.8, and Rai #01-04 CGC 9.8.

Im not anywhere near done yet but Im going to slow down on the buying for a tad bit. I dropped a pretty coin on getting some of these and Im sure I overpaid a bit for some of the less rare issues. I cant wait to start really digging in and reading these again. I have a few more deals Im working with people and than I will hold off for a month or two before buying again. I am looking at a very rare issue that Im wanting pretty bad, but going from not owning one comic to all of these in one month will keep me busy reading for a long while. I only have about 2 hours to read each night so its going to take awhile to get through all of these :thumb:


Thanks for reading my story. :D

Hola compadre.

I would suggest trying to get your books here. I have found you can get the best prices from dudes at this site. And you can get just about anything.


Happy reading. :thumb:

Yes I have found that out the hard way :!:

I wish I would have found this and the society board sooner. It would have saved me a good deal of money and HOURS of searching

Some people spend their whole lives believing in fairy tales, usually because they don't want to give up the fabulous prizes.
