I know the feeling... If I find a book I need at cover price without making a day trip out of it I'm doing good!

A lot of the great deals around here are drying up as well. Cover price and up is getting to be the norm when they do have any Valiants.

[davidb]

I've gotten fairly lucky around here. My LCS apparently doesn't have a high demand for Valiants. I'd asked them to check in the back for Turok 40-47 a few weeks ago, and they'd not been able to so they let me head back there. I came back with a pile of books about 12 inches thick. I'll be able to finish my Turok run when I finish, and I'll be very close on Eternal Warrior, Rai, and Timewalker. Here's some of the noteworthy stuff I found:

Eternal Warrior run from about 35-50, plus Fist & Steel #2 and Wings of Justice
Turok 21-47
Magnus 64

I'd previously pulled Unity 2000 1 & 2 and Turok: Spring Break from the regular back issue boxes. Right now I'm also working on cleaning them out on Quantum & Woody and looking at the nearly-complete Magnus v2 run he's got. Unfortunately, he doesn't have much pre-Unity (all that I saw were Magnus #9), but I'll take the trade off to pick up these later issues.

Nice snag davidb. What did this all set you back?

[jedimarley]

I know the feeling... If I find a book I need at cover price without making a day trip out of it I'm doing good!

I feal your pain, brother.

[davidb]

I'm just getting started on it. This time I grabbed Quantum & Woody 5 & 7, the Magnus yearbook, Turok 11, 13, 16-19 and the yearbook, and Rai 25, 27 & 28, and both Chaos Effect Epilogues. The rest they're holding back for me to whittle down every time I go in. The Quantum & Woody was about $2 an issue and 1.25 for the others. I'm hoping that'll still hold true as I move on into the later stuff. This store had a LOT of stuff still in the back issue bins. Just about everything I pulled they had at least one more copy of. The Turok and Unity 2000s were about $3-4 each, and I got Harbinger Acts of God for $3.

That is a good find. Especially with the current climate on the V.V.S.S. books. Not to steal your thunder, but I got lucky last year and found one online for $4.00.

[k_c_collectibles]

That is a GREAT deal X-O!!!

[x-omatic]

I counted about 80 pre unity books and figured @2.00 each is a great deal. Considering the Rai #3's, 4's and Magnus 12 books.
The rest are Unity and a few issues past.

The first thought that comes to my mind is a person who tells the original collection owner, "Sorry, best I can do is .05 per Valiant" then say to XO "$10 a book! "
