Q&W #1 1:50 Goat variant for $5.09 shipped :clap:
Have you received the book? I was watching that and asked the seller for an actual photo and he never posted it. I was afraid he was just using a stock photo.
I received it today and it is real

Nice pickup, Greg 'the value buyer' Holland! There's a lot of auctions like these where the difference in shipping to me in Canada eliminates the bargain element.

Nice grab! Dollar bin golds have been almost a moot point over the last five years (from us pilfering them!).

I have never posted this before.
So I will say it ~ CUSTOM TITLE.
not that my saying so means much ~ but come on ~ great custom tilte!
Brilliant

Look what I found under a cat.

Also it is awsome cool, not only as a custom title ~ but just because it is awsome and you caught it on camera.

Break the rules or make new ones ~ CUSTOM TITLE NOW.
It is the best custom title ~ever.
I wish their was a Spinal Tap comic, and I had a copy CGC graded at 11.

You should buy that cat and take it with you to other comic book stores and "turn it loose" in the 25 cent bin! It would save your back from digging through all those boxes! :lol:

Lol. Thumbing through 25 cent bins can be annoying and strangely relaxing sometimes, I'll miss the cat though. Unfortunately there will be no reason for me to visit that shop again considering I acquired all Valiant books of value.

Got this today and it was one of the worst packaging jobs I have ever had mailed to me from a seller not one of these books are close to anything.

Not bagged not boarded nothing to protect I contacted seller but I feel a negative coming his way this was inexcusable
