That's interesting to know. Does your friend have a copy of the Turok:Evolution EB Games Variant?
Yes he does, but since he only has one he isn't going to sell it (at least for the time being). It didn't really matter on this as I don't collect VH2 or VH3 so I wasn't really interested in it anyway (but if he had the Ironman/X-O book you could bet that I'd buy him a ton of lapdances to get it - I know his weakness). I told him that if he ever needs money that I'll help him sell the Turok book. I'd be sure to offer it to this board before I would take it to ebay.

Additionally, he would likely get fired for selling this book right now as he still works at EB and they have a strict policy against employees selling promo materials. As a matter of fact, I'm not even sure he's supposed to be getting all these materials that he does have.

That's cool that he has it, so then we know that was definitely available through EB Games, something we don't know about either of the X-O/Iron Man or Shadowman game books.

Luckily, I do have a copy of the Turok EB Games variant. I don't actively collect the VH2/VH3 stuff, but I like owning some of the tougher books in case I ever decide to! :thumb:

Wow. My Acclaim collection looks pretty sad.

Guess that gives me an excuse to up my buying budget... :twisted:

I don't get it...why is 60 X-O #1's only worth 42 points...?

Heh...I ADDED 60 X-O #1's and went down two more places to 46...

I REALLY need to get my damn collection together...

(Yes, I've been saying this since 1992. You think it's going to change anytime soon? Hah.)

The points are based on value right? so 42 points is 42 dollars? NO WAY is 60 XO 1s gonna sell for 42 dollars. more like $400-$450. The problem is that your 60th XO 1 is worth almost the same as your 60th XO 40whatever.

Value combined with completeness. Only with a slight bonus for the value of multiple copies. Unless Greg's changed his formula it's the basic value of the issue times a factor decided by the number of copies in your collection. The sum from 1 to x of 1/x. For 60 copies that factor is about 4.68 (no, I didn't calculate that in my head - I have it ready in a spreadsheet I made from Greg's lists).
