For obvious reasons I can see why you're selling them together but it sure would be nice to get a shot at the Rai 5 cover. Goodness what do you figure it's worth?

Any way you cut it my wife is thankful I don't have 13k handy.

Hope the family and everything is ok mang. Would hate to see these moved outside our VC.Com World due to some RL unfortuneate circumstances.

I hope everything is ok with him. It almost seems like an "emergency" sale. Has anyone talked with him recently?

I got an email from him a couple of days ago. He sure didn't mention anything about this! Hope everything is OK...

Thanks all for the concern but no emergency here. Due to events in the past year I have been forced to change some priorities to the following #1) Wife's health, #2) baby on way at the end of October, #3) Valiant, and finally #4) everything else.

So, I have decided to sell my Valiant Color Art collection - all 3000+ pages of it. I would like to sell it in one lot to try and keep it together and hopefully it would go to a fellow forum member.

Hey Ron (hillmanthe2nd)

Our thoughts are with you over here too (Like you said Family first!).

For those on the boards who don't know what a good guy Ron is let me tell you a story why.

A while back I won a couple of auctions from Ron (Solar 10 1st and 2nd Prints). There was a little mix up with the Solar 10 1st print so shipping was delayed for a while. However, due to the delay: 1) Ron didn't charge me for the Solar 10 2nd print, and 2) both 1st and 2nd prints shipped with the following bonus materials: Rai 1, Magnus Pred Plat 1, original Geomancer issue 1 art, and X-O #5 cover repoduction art.

The bonus material alone was worth a lot more than original auctions (I would have been happy with just stuff i won, which combined didn't cost more than $20). Just his actions alone speaks volumes for what a good person he is. I'm sure most of you already know Ron is a good guy, but I thought I'd let others (who don't) know.

Take care Ron,

Chuck (ebay id anime_comics)

I really hope things go well for your wife. I know how stressful it can be. My mother has been having alot of medical problems recently and it is always hard to see a loved one in pain.
