Re: 2013 VEI NYCC Exclusives + Optional Bonus Extras
Paid $100 to Valiant. Funny considering I get the non-signed ones for $20 (cost from Diamond) but it's X-O so, why not.
I am planning to auction off the X-O #1 with signatures that I get with some extra cool stuff (you will know soon what it is) when I get it, for Kevin's charity. I don't collect comics, even really cool signed ones, so this will be a nice piece that will go to someone who could not afford the hardcover, and will help a good cause.

CF has been a cause that the board has tended to support for quite a while. I am only standing on the shoulders of the members before me, and carrying on the cause.

Just got confirmation that refunds have been sent to the members who had overpayments except for Prelate1.
But that should be settled soon.
If anyone hasn't gotten that corrected, let me know. Thanks!!!

Re: 2013 VEI NYCC Exclusives + Optional Bonus Extras
This is a topic that I often discuss with my LCS owner. The only thing he keeps, as far as comics, is his Daredevil run. His favorite. He sold three in the 1-10 range, and regretted it. Then took him another decade to see them again. He has some original art and commissions, but outside of DD, all is for sale.paradise wrote:Not really cause I still READ more comics than most people.jmatt wrote:Wow, that's like an auto mechanic who doesn't own a car or a bartender that doesn't drink.paradise wrote:I don't collect comics...

Re: 2013 VEI NYCC Exclusives + Optional Bonus Extras
That's kind of what I do also. I collect Hardcovers of things i REALLY like, which is a lot of hardcovers over the years, I started in 94 when we opened the store. And I collect original art, mostly X-O and Solar covers and commissions.kevinbastos wrote: This is a topic that I often discuss with my LCS owner.

It is really counter productive to collect comics when you are always around them, and can read at any time. I still take 20-30 comics home per week and read to keep up on everything, i just don't put them away into my own boxes after I am done.

Re: 2013 VEI NYCC Exclusives + Optional Bonus Extras
Thanks to Nscc and Paradise I am able to take part and get an A&A #14.
It's a tough month for me and I couldn't afford to spend $41 on one comic, Nscc regularly orders from Ed. Ed will get our books then ship to Nscc with his regular order. Nscc then offered to ship to me for free, how cool is that
At the end of the day I get a nice book for like $20, thanks for taking care of your fellow Canuck Joel!

Pre-orders, so it would appear that he/she has bought (or will aquire) 2 copies, and then fill those orders while turning a 200% profit. Certainly one way to do it.comicsyte95 wrote:Heres an Archer and Armstrong con exclusive already on ebay for over $50

Re: 2013 VEI NYCC Exclusives + Optional Bonus Extras
Not surprised for people to capitalize on this. When you go to a convention, you need to pay for your costs to get access to these books. (Parking / Gas, Taxi, Air Fare, Hotel and not including the tickets to the convention itself)
That being said, I would not be surprised if anyone participates in the offer and later on selling it for $.
Other than the secondary market, there really isn't any other way to get the A&A Variant and the Signed Numbered to 500 X-O Hard Cover. Plus you can only get the first Valiant Fans Validated Signature Series (VEI).
Also, our offer here is valid to Valiant Fan members only. (not to the public)

I am glad to help you out Chris, you handled all the Valiant Fans FCBD for us, it's the least I can do!
A big thanks to Elery/Bruce/VEI for making this happen, and Ed for being accommodating as usual

Now, I gotta go pay for this stuff!

Re: 2013 VEI NYCC Exclusives + Optional Bonus Extras
I was waiting to see if I won some ASM auctions before I committed to my purchase. I lost my auctions, so I fired up Paypal and started to both for both the A&A and the X-O HC, but I canceled it at the last moment. I still think I'm going for it, but it is a difficult decision. I think the VfVSS is pushing me over the fence, though - that's pretty awesome.

I just sent payment to VEI and e-mailed details to Bruce and Elery.
Got 1x A+A variant + 1x X-O Signed HC.
Thanks again for doing all of this everyone, from VEI, to Bruce and Elery, and Ed for offering to help save me some funds on the shipping for me and hawk!
