Post by Ladakh »

How many people here have a 90%+ complete collection, and who has the most extensive collection? Who are the biggest VALIANT fans?

Just what I was looking for.

What about other VALIANT-related items... Voyuers, t-shirts etc... is there a list of those people? I mean, wouldn't there be several contenders?

Also,

THERE IS NO WAY IN THE UNIVERSE that I have the fourth largest Valiant collection.

It is an IMPOSSIBILITY!

If I win an argument, it doesn't mean I'm right. It means I'm a better arguer.

In addition, I'm right.

The Smithsonian called and wants a short list of people who have the most extensive collection, naturally to board the spaceship before the asteroid kills everything on Earth. Who are those people?

Probably leaving someone obvious out, but it would take an impressive amount of stuff to move any of those down. :hm:

Hello. I am Knob Row. I am a VALIANT terrorist- I operate outside the law. Maybe this will get your attention:

http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b50 ... b5e7ae.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Now that I have your attention, I have this item I would like opinions on including appraisals and maybe offers

http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b50 ... a14bba.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It's 21 1/2 X 29. There are three of them, Jim Shooter owns one. I had them made about 20 years ago from one of those boiler room replica painting places overseas for $149.99 each I think, then had it framed for $99.00. My intent was to give it to Shooter as thanks for signing and interviewing and being my little puppet for six months back in the 90's. Last I heard, it's in his bedroom.

I decided to make one for myself and a third for historical purposes, and am thinking about selling it. I am talking to a user up north right now over my copy, but I might sell both. Regardless, I have the painting for you guys to consider.

Thanks for your time.

No VALIANT comics were harmed in the making of this eMail.

If you haven't figured out who I am by now, disregard this message.

I put my inventory up (minus the duplicates), but I also own a few original covers, dozens of original pages and watercolors. The VEI run has brought me back to the fold, and I'm enjoying collecting Valiant again.

There are some guys out there like technique, tsgery, bte, and others that have some substantial collections that probably haven't counted their books in years. And don't forget Joe/zwh even though he's been removed from the board.
I am selling "nothing" on ebay-yet.

Well anyway, I would very much like this to end up in someone who has a key collection and wall space for this monster. It's been in my living room for over a decade.

I'd compare pretty well with books and Valiant-Related items too. Ricomortis is probably also "listable". :-)

As for the poster, its great. Good luck selling it!
