VALIANT TRADING CARD SETS
Did the VALIANT TRADING CARD SETS have a print run like the comics?
I love buying unopened boxes and opening the packs.
And sometimes you get the special chromium cards.
I guess you can see I horde them
By the way does anyone have the: VALIANT ERA WOODEN BOX CARD SET?
They only made 100 sets.
Never seen it on ebay.

Re: VALIANT TRADING CARD SETS
I only remember one wooden box set being on ebay. One sold here on the board last year and it went for some pretty good $$$$.rai4ever wrote:Did the VALIANT TRADING CARD SETS have a print run like the comics?

As for the print runs, well lets just say there never seems to be a shortage of any of the card sets except for the Valiant Era II cards.

It's just a cut strip that I aligned right next to the Rai card. It was in one of the packs. It looks like extra art that was cut. I need to go back to the comic books and see if the cards are exactly the same as the comics. I'm thinking that they had to to cut the art to fit on the cards.sonicdan wrote:huh, cool.

Look at this:
Variant/Error strip.
Anyone else gotten this before?

Yeah, I bought quite a bit of stuff from him back in the day to try and round out my Valiant collection, but I am still far away from a full run of the VH1 stuff. Great seller for sure.dave wrote:He ran a blow out sale on Deathmate a while back and the box I bought helped me to get pretty near every card I needed (missing like two chase cards I think.)
I still don't have all the insert cards from the books-like Geomancer #4 and those... I liked those too...

Here's a couple things that happened to UD's lately:dave wrote:I love the cards.
Why do you say it's a shame that they were done by UD?
I thought they were one of the better card companies.
Fake Yugi-Oh Cards:
Depositions and evidence presented in court by Konami showed that Upper Deck went to great lengths to make the bogus cards — including assigning code names to the project, reproducing Konami’s security foil, and having the cards manufactured in China. An Upper Deck executive also testified that company founder, owner and CEO Richard McWilliam directed the scheme. The legal battle quietly came to a head in late January after a federal judge, in a summary judgment before the trial, found that Upper Deck was liable for counterfeiting.
Upper Deck lost the MLB license but made Baseball cards (featuring players in albeit somewhat obscured MLB uniforms) anyway:
Upper Deck will pay MLB Properties more than $2.4 million (the entire amount in dispute) for Upper Deck’s 2009 debts.
– Upper Deck will pay MLB Properties a substantial sum of money for the unlicensed cards it sold in 2010. The specific sum of that payment is confidential.
– Upper Deck has agreed not to issue any additional releases of infringing cards. Last year it issued 15 baseball card releases and there are currently only three infringing releases that are in distribution in 2010.
– Upper Deck agreed it will not make any new sets of cards using MLB logos, uniforms, trade dress, or Club color combinations.
– Upper Deck also agreed it will not airbrush, alter or block MLB marks in future products.
– Upper Deck must receive approval from MLB for the use of baseball jerseys, pants, jackets, caps, helmets or catcher’s equipment in future products featuring players.
Message From Players Union Says Upper Deck Owes Players
The union strongly advised players not to return to Upper Deck any autographs they had signed for the company or to enter into any new agreements with the company until the payments were made.
They also just lost the NFL license and their exclusive license for the NHL.
I was always a fan of their product though, I remember buying Valiant card boxes back in the day.
