Here is a HUGE one for me!!!

1-Valiant Polo Shirt in XL -35.00

2-Dark Adventure Con regular print set -25.00

3-Dark Adventure Con premium print set (each hand-colored by artist Jeff Austin - only 25 done) -75.00

4-Capital City Unity Portfolio (large envelope w/many b/w prints which were a retailer premium only offered through Capital City Distribution-75.00

5-Magnus marketing folder (illustrated w/card of Jon Hartz, large foldout poster and promo materials w/ Magnus issue-early retailer promo from trade show)-40.00

6-Valiant Marketing Plan (mag-sized b/w booklet outlining all Valiant plans w/Unity & throughout the year-BWS cover-these were used at trade shows and only a handful were printed)-50.00

TOTAL - $300.00

Well, maybe not a bargain, but I needed ALL of the goodies listed above. WELL WORTH every penny in my book to get these things. I had never even heard of the Valiant marketing plan or the Magnus marketing folder...

I am VERY happy with this purchase!

Good score, KC! I believe the Unity portfolio was available to the general public, but it WAS a Capital City exclusive, like you said.---Steve

A big haul.

Why anyone would sell the color print set for $75 is beyond me.

Ebay stores are good for deals like that once in a while, but you have to sort through a lot of lumps of coal to find the diamonds. I don't have to patience to do that as much as I once did. It can be so damn frustrating finding all the same common crap all the time.

Good pickup! May you find many more diamonds!

I know what you mean. I don't wade through the sea of common crud looking for a bargain as much I used to either.
