It's always been valiantfans.com for me. I know Greg used to own the valiantcomics.com domain and it pointed to valiantfans, but I guess he sold it to Valiant when they came back (it does make more sense for them to have it).Aram wrote:So when did it change from valiantcomics.com to valiantfans?

Didn't they buy it off of Greg a few years ago? That's why there are separate ValiantFans.com and ValiantFan.com URLs.
edit: I just noticed this was Chiclo... is this a joke I don't get?

All books now bagged and boarded with EGerber Mylite2 and half-backs.
All that's left is boxing and labeling.

NOTE: These have acid-free archival tape on the back of the bags, but they could still cause tape-pull damage. BE VERY CAREFUL!

The flap on the bag is preglued and could damage the comic if it sticks to it and you pull it out.

Bingo! This happens time to time... but they are VERY nice bags! They seal up nice and look so good with no flappy cornersfury143 wrote:The flap on the bag is preglued and could damage the comic if it sticks to it and you pull it out.

These bags don't have factory glue/sticky... they are open unless I tape them. So, I've taped them shut.caniac wrote:Sweet!

When you open a taped bag, there's a chance the tape will stick to the cover of the book and cause damage... so I'm warning everyone to take the tape completely off when you open the bag... BEFORE you take the book out.

Looking at a few of those boxes it seems that some people bought 30-40. I see these on ebay in the near future.greg wrote:It's been about 5 hours since my bagged & boarded photo...

Re: BLANK COVER SKETCH BOOKS - Pre-Sold books now in hand...
I think most of these will be sketched by artists and kept in personal collections. Not worth selling on eBay to make a few $$ after fees.

No one bought more than 20. The most common order was 2, and the average was 4.Rubiks-Q-Bert wrote: Looking at a few of those boxes it seems that some people bought 30-40. I see these on ebay in the near future.

I can remember being advised once to cut the tape EVERY time you wanted to see/read but not re-buy the comic. Sage advice.IanAlexavier wrote:Bingo!

Shipping stuff out is a real PITA. Those book folds make things a bit easier. Thanks Greg!
