What is your prize comic-related item? (Valiant or other..)

Valiant_1 · Post by **Valiant_1** » Thu Mar 03, 2005 8:50 pm

Ok, let's brag a little. I always love to talk about collecting. I have people come to the house to visit and I always show them some of my comic book stuff. Some get it, some don't.

Everyone here can appreciate your collection! What is the ONE item either comic book, or comic-book related, that you ALWAYS brag about owning? It can be Valiant or not.

Let the WOWing begin!

my nexus #3 magazine size with the record in it...it may be worthless, but it's damn cool.

Mine would have to be a prop from the movie "THE PUNISHER" with Tom Jane.

If you've seen the movie, at the end, after he kills Robert Saint (Travolta), he goes back to his apartment, drinks a bottle of whiskey and stares at his family photo.

It's all folded and torn and has the words "Thanksgiving 1999" written in ink on the back. I can always throw in the DVD and show people the scene. Good times. :littlesmile:

X-Men #4 signed by Stan Lee.

Went to a launching of the Batman Master Series card set at Le Bar Bat in NYC (back in the mid 90s). They gave away full sets with all the inserts. I won a door prize of an uncut sheet with 5 full sets of the inserts. They gave away all the decoration props. I framed and made sure the matting covers the writing that says (and I paraphrase): "It is illegal to own this. Please call (Skybox or Fleer - don't remember which one) at 800 xxx xxxx to report if someone has it.

Not sure it is worth much but it is one of a kind AND illegal

Nexus was a cool book. Do they still print it?

Batman Master Series - AWESOME set of cards! I love that you got the display pieces!

As for Stan Lee, I had the chance to meet him as well about 10 years ago, but I never had anything half as sweet as an X-MEN #4! Wonder what a Lee/Kirby signature would be worth on a book like that>?

Of my Valiant stuff it would be my Magnus uncut sheet of trading cards which I have in a nice frame in my computer room.

Well, it SHOULD have been my Fine Batman #11....but we all know how THAT turned out.

So, I gotta say....my collection of absurdly rare variants (Tick #2 uncut, Maxx #2 & #3 black ashcans, etc.)

And the crown jewel of THOSE....my Dark Knight Returns Signed and Numbered hardcover....A/P.

- Strange Tales #135
- Magnus Robot Fighter #1 signed by Bob Layton
- all my Liberty Meadows issues that were signed.

Answered. And are you sure? Everyone else does.

Dude...remember when you first joined, and someone said 'ZWH is the bomb', and you were like 'Who does this ZWH character think he is' yadda yadda...?

I do.

ZephyrWasHOT!! · Post by **ZephyrWasHOT!!** » Thu Mar 03, 2005 10:00 pm

By the by..the VcVSS count as absurdly rare variants.

Does my whole Spidey collection count as ONE thing?

I guess I'd have to go with my Amazing Spider-Man #6

I lucked out. Absolutely lucked out. I think I have 10 copies of the #2...

Unfortunately....Image/Sam/Whoever didn't take care of them and they are ALL F/VF.

But still...50 copy print runs...I only have 1 copy of #3, but I'm going to use the #2's for trade fodder for a black #1 (don't have a yellow or black),,and yes, I am VERY serious about trading one of them for a CEAR.

The reds...the REDS....which are limited to 1500 (or, 30 times more common) are $10-$15 on eBay...so..by the logic, the blacks should be 30 times more valuable...or $300-$450 each.

They're definitely the only Image ashcans worth anything.

And, of course, I've NEVER seen a black on eBay.

The memory of driveing around in the back of a limo with Jim Calafoire, Jorge Gonzalez & Jennifer Maldanado all day.
Then being invited out to dinner with them + Bob Hall, Tom Ryder, Bernard Chang & Paul Fairchild( Valiant payed ).
Then being invited up to New York to hang out at the Valiant offices with everyone.
Some of the nicest people I have ever met.
