Well sonicD just sold his 9.8 CEAR for less than $300 which is THE BEST price you're gonna find for awhile.

If you don't need a CGC graded copy, I have a strict NM copy of the CEAR on eBay right now. It's quite a bit less than $600....

Check out the buy/sell/trade area for my post about this book.

went to a local show today, got a few good deals, one of the best was Harbinger #6 with coupon from a .25 box, looks to be NM since it was bagged/boarded. I'm actually mentioning this show more because someone in my area finally decided to start using Wizard guide prices for Valiants. The one that caught my attention was Magnus #0 with card, which she had priced at $45! This lady had 1/2 off the prices marked so the prices weren't too bad, but it was still kind of shocking to see people waking up to Valiants finally. I almost bought it at $22.50, but I had ran out of money, so I passed.

Oh well, I've been jonesn' to get that puppy for quite some time. I'm not one to wait too long for something that I've waited years to buy.

Next on the list is a NM CEAR. Though I'm not willing to spend $600 for a NM copy quite yet.
A CEAR 9.8 CGC sold for $1500.00 awhile back! $600.00 might not be a bad price depending on your point of view.

No way, that is ridiculous....what would the bloodshot platinum go for if one popped up on ebay?

Now come on...that's just the realm of silliness.

If it's $10, it might as well be a DONATION...then you can write it off.
$4 a box or $64??

<laughs>

No one cares, apparently.

Ok, I paid $5 a short box for the CRAP...

and $30 for the X-Men box.

$110 total.

Not bad for stuff that 'Guides' for about $1500.

I did, you can see my report in the following link.

http://www.valiantfans.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4844

I pretty much have gone to every single Big Apple Con since last September. So far I have only met CKB. Maybe we should all meet up at the next con.

mike rok lok · Post by **mike rok lok** » Tue Apr 05, 2005 2:52 pm

Yeah I have been to every Big Apple Con for the last two years. I even made the one in the snow storm back in January! Unfortuantely I'll have to sit out the June 17th-18th show as I'll be on tour with my band! But I'll definitely be going to the National in September.

I've met CKB before and was able to get some great looking books from him. I'd love to meet up with you or any other forum members that attend this show in the future.

You best stay away from CKB. He's my crack err, comic dealer and MINE alone!

I can't believe that Tales of the Beanworld is an actual series that people know about. I found issue 1 in a huge group of comics I bought and I thought it was the most obscure thing I'd ever seen!

Valiant OCD · Post by **Valiant OCD** » Tue Apr 05, 2005 6:02 pm

I picked up copies of

Harby #'s 0 pink , 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, and others up to issue #25.
1 through 5 with coupons and all declared to be NM by a 100% feedback rated seller!

Price?

a cool $85.00 shipped

Beanworld did get critical acclaim back when it was published in the 80's, I think.

Last I remember, Larry Marder was mentioned as Executive Director at Image Comics, so he probably didn't have enough time to bring out many new Beanworld comics.
