For sure. I was glad to get them. He had another WD #61, but the corner was all bent up. He had his books so shoved in the short box many were damaged.

Dumb!

I was at a small show and looked through a 20 cent bin and found a solar #3 and #5 plus a destroyer #0 price variant. I thought it was a good day.

Trust me, its been a year and a half of bargain bin hunting, go through enough you will find good stuff. Like in my valiant story, in that same bin I found an autographed Deathmate Tourbook for a dime.

I got lucky and won Turok 47 in a ten book lot for $2.50 on ebay. Trying to finish Turok scares me.

A few months ago I managed to score a Bloodshot 51 for like 80 cents, in decent enough condition.

Now to try to get lucky on a Harby 0 and Magnus 0 with card, although I think I'm gonna have to suck it up on those heh.

GREAT deal. The BS #51 was commanding crazy prices a few years ago.

If VEI can get books out, and be successful, and there begins to be a demand for back issue Valiant books (I know.... a lot of "ands") it will be the end run books that will sky rocket in price.

All the dealers will pull out there pre-unity and middle run glut from the storage bins, but it will be the Turok #47, BS #51, XO #68, EW #50 that will really bring in high dollar.

Miracleman 1-4 for $25 and 7-10 for just enough to win on eBay.

Thanks. I thought I was lucky when I saw BS 51 for $1.60 but the store was having 50% off all back issues!

Yeah, a few months earlier I think I paid $10 or $15 for BS 51. I'm trying to complete my run hopefully before the market goes crazy again.

I still have to track down XO #68, Magnus #64 and a better condition EW 50 for my collection. I actually don't think I've seen an X-O, but have turned down Magnus due to price.

The Magnus book seems to turn up quite a bit, so you shouldn't have too much of a problem getting one for a decent price.

I agree. I think that is the most common of the 1st tier of end run books.

1 tier = Bloodshot 51, Turok 47, XO 68, Solar 60, EW 50, Mag 60.
2nd tier = Shadowman 43, Harby 41, Rai 33.
3rd tier = the rest.

My only Valiant/Acclaim deal of late is that I found a copy of Shadowman Vol. 3, #1 Painted Variant (no price) for $0.50 in VF condition

I ended up sending it free to a gentleman on the board (felt REALLY good about paying it forward with that one too

)

speaking of last issues, I just picked up a Harby #41 at a Half Price Books for 50 cents and a Shadowman #43 for a dollar at an Antique Mall.
