how many long or short boxes does that fill up? i have one copy of each issue and it only fills up 1 1/4 short boxes.
Holy crap, Peter! Congrats, that's pretty awesome.

I have a good amount of variants & con specials, golds, Shadowman Black etc, but not nearly all of it... And my VEI collection takes up about 3.5 short boxes right now.

I'm onto my ninth short box, I try to allow a box per title, although some I put together like Shadowman and Dr. Mirage and the event crossovers with the Unitys.
I also put all the TPBs in one box also and the hardcovers in another, so there is another two boxes on top of that.

Thanks, I can thank Bruce and Ed for helping me out so much, plus you guys here on the threads with the occasional con copy.

Thank you all so much for helping me with my addiction :thumb: :)
wow! i knew it had to be a lot of boxes! so many variants. would be fun to thumb through those boxes :thumb:

:hi: Check

About 95% of orig VU- don't have Captain Johner and the Aliens reprint issues type material
About 80% of Acclaim or VU2-the big glaring omissions are Q&W and Shadowman vol.3

I'm missing Shadowman 14 Hall in good shape (mine got bent in transit-oh well), as well as the Planet Comics 2013 FCBD. Otherwise I have everything, including the golds and that damn Kotaki error. Yes, it's an addiction. :D

Well there are a few doubles of the regular issues in there as well, or should I call them my reading and re-reading copies.

I think the largest amounts of singles would have been for Unity #1 and Rai #1, lovely covers though, so hard not to get them :)

I have every cover (variant or otherwise) of every book with the exception of Shadowman and Unity #1 GOLD, X-O #26 Vegas Con and Unity #8 Special Edition: NYC. I have every Preview book, TPB and hardcover. Even have the X-O #15 Katoki error. Just need my grubby hands on those darn 4 books to be complete... For now.

I may have an extra Vegas and Special Edition in my boxes if you're interested. I'll check and let you know.

Oh, and if you really want to get crazy, I have one spare set of the entire collection of 2014 FCBD variants (39 in count if I recall, minus the Comics to Astonish which the owner said never arrived). Took a lot of effort to compile, but it exists! 8-)

Not sure what that is a reference to? The ValiantFans.com FCBD issue from 2014? Yes, I have that one. And about 250 remaining Valiant Podcast ones that Ive been giving out at conventions.

Thanks. I hadn't realized they were difficult to obtain. I just happened to swap some copies with Greg. I've still got them.

I'm happy just having a copy of each issue. I do have some variants but don't feel the need to have them all. bought doubles of all the first year stuff, because I knew I would read them to death. no trades and only one HC, Harbinger. I do want to get all the HC, just doesn't make sense for my budget at this time. I am proud to say I have all the golds, all but two of them earned.

Complete regular issues plus some variants and signed covers, including a killer sketch of Aric that Cary Nord drew at the VEI NYCC booth a few years back.

I'm in this club. Other than the last few preview books, I have every unique book VEI has published (I picked up that elusive Shadowman Black from a board member not too long ago!)
