Shadowman Vol.3 #1 variant with price

And as a bonus, after the auction ended the seller emails me and says they have another copy and would I be interested in it for an extra buck......umm yes please. :D

2 copies for $4.49 shipped, not to shabby. 8-)
It seems perhaps standard eBay searches were defeated by what the wording the seller used in the title. A space between Shadow and Man? Nothing else to lead people to the listing....
Nice snag.

The truly capable eBay searchers can overcome such difficulty.

I think I may have picked one of those for .25 a few months back. I'm going to have to check to make sure its that one. It may be one of the others, not sure though. Had no idea it was a hard to find book

One copy live on eBay at the moment. I'm tracking it. Sounds like a possibility for the hard to find thread. There should be a few Valiants/Acclaims in that thread eventually anyway.
No auctions of that book recently completed, btw.

BTW, I've got that spreadsheet made, have added a few other books, though many don't have any kind of sales yet. I'll add this one and some of the other acclaim books

I would probably pick up any cheap copies I see of EW: Black Works, MOG or Immortal Enemy, as the print runs went down below 10,000 once those issues came out. Probably not a lot of demand, but good books to have.
