I think that's the cheapest I've ever paid for those issues. Back in 1991-1992, I paid through the nose for some of those early issues, and I missed out on Magnus 12!

It's crazy how cheap valiants are now, they seem to be the cheapest level since the boom of the 90s.

Re: Bragging rights - your best deal of late?
I ran across a seller on eBay selling 20 NM bagged and boarded copies of Bloodshot 1 from VEI for 16.00, including shipping. I had to hit the BIN on that, even though I already had maybe 10 copies of it.

Re: Bragging rights - your best deal of late?
I had extra insurance on mine. It still came broke and the post office refused to pay out. All that after 4 months of back and forth. I think the jostling of the package at the post office broke it worse too.
I used to repair metal toy soldiers, so I figure I can repair this one. Just don't seem to have the time away from the kids to manage it. Some day...

Re: Bragging rights - your best deal of late?
Auction find last night:
Albedo 1 thru 8 for $58.00, # 2 is 9.0 range

2 other dudes/known ebay sellers were bidding aggressively on Marvel/DC bronze & silver (no major bargains there) but apparently neither was familiar with Usagi Yojimbo.
I also picked up:
2 sets of Legends (1986 DC L.S.) for $10
A stack of Civil War issues with 6 of the 7 Turner variants and 3 sketch variants for $10
and Planet Hulk 92-102 for $10
