Where did you find all that? An LCS, a con, an individual?
A comic store I goto all the time just bought a huge collection. He gives me first pick of any Valiants he gets in.
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! "
Then I take the Harbinger 0 pink I bought for 10.00 and sell it for 100.00.

then ckb gets it cgcd and sells it for 550 on comic link to aug002

Well, I finally have something to add to this thread.

This arrived for me today. MUCH better than shown in the picture.

Not bad considering this was also in the $30 range:

Some how that slipped by unnoticed. I would have bid more if I had found it. Are you going to scan the images?

I think your right......Ive hit EVERY store within the city limits. Only one Ive found on the cheap. Ive seen some on "the wall," and I usually dont even ask.....one guy had two of them on display, and I offered 20 for the pair. He told me that because valiants are hot again, he couldnt even take that for one. There still on "the wall." Heh.....he'll break soon......they will be mine....Oh yes.....::drools::

The store had just restocked their bins... they had put 4 copies of the FCBD edition in there, and as I was flipping through I saw that they had mistakenly placed a regular version as well...

I plan on going back this weekend and seeing what else they did!
