$OLD: COMPLETE set of RAI #1 with Retailers, EXTRAS & GOLD!!
As stated, $OLD! a complete set of RAI #1 covers, which includes ALL six different Retailer variants and a GOLD.
Here's what you'll get:
- RAI #1 Crain Regular
- RAI #1 Hitch variant
- RAI #1 Segovia variant
- RAI #1 Allen variant
- RAI #1 Blank Cover variant
- RAI #1 Crain Pullbox Plus Edition
- RAI #1 Evans 1:10 variant
- RAI #1 Hairsine 1:20 variant
- RAI #1 Aja/Allen 1:75 variant
- RAI #1 Crain GOLD Edition
and...
- RAI #1 Borderlands Retailer variant
- RAI #1 Cards, Comics, & Collectibles Retailer variant
- RAI #1 Graham Crackers Retailer variant (C2E2)
- RAI #1 Hastings Retailer variant
- RAI #1 Midtown Retailer variant
- RAI #1 Mile High Retailer variant
ALL 16 books are in at least NM or better condition.
As for pricing, I believe Ed initially sold his RAI #1 sets for $100 SHIPPED, and IMNSHO, that was a great price. However, even though that did include a RAI #1 Kindt-signed print, it did not include any of these six Retailer variants. It also doesn't go without saying that some of these books were originally either heavily damaged and/or extremely condition-sensitive, or just flat-out hard-to-get altogether; namely the Aja/Allen 1:75 variant, and the Hastings Retailer variant. (Not to mention the addition of a GOLD!) Yeesh
!!
All that said, I think the absolute best price-point I can do here would be $265 $225 $200 DELIVERED; shipped via well-packed, boxed USPS Priority Mail.
Even so, there's still more
!!
Just 'cause I'm feelin' kinda' generous, and I wouldn't want anyone gettin' all technical and thinkin' "ALL" RAI #1 covers weren't truly included, I'll also throw a few extra goodies the lucky buyer's way:
- RAI #1 Pullbox Preview
- RAI #1 2nd Print
- RAI #1 3rd Print
- RAI #1 4th Print
- V1 RAI #1 and V1 Magnus #5/RAI #1 (No longer available; sorry.)
Yer welcome
.
As always, first
here or via PM gets it.
Thanks in advance,

To really put the icing on an already delicious cake, I also added a bonus NM/NM+ copy of V1 Magnus #5/RAI #1 to make this a truly complete RAI #1 covers set
.
Any die-hard RAI fans or completists ready to pop on this killer set

Uhm, AFAIK, this set is $PF!
However, I haven't heard from my buyer since Tuesday
.
Once I can confirm, I'll UPdate the thread either way. Hopefully at some point this weekend

***P.S. Regardless, the great news here for everyone else is, I actually have a second COMPLETE set, including all those same *BONUS* goodies

Okay, so I freely admit I'm a bit flustered as to what's going on with these sets
.
AFAIK, one set is spoken for and is still $PF.
However, the other buyer never followed through, so I still have one COMPLETE set of RAI #1 with ALL 6 Retailer variants and BONUS books available.
And right now, as an additional incentive for the prospective buyer of this second set, along with the other extras, I'll also include a copy of the recently-released RAI #1 3rd print absolutely *FREE!*
As before, first

Re: WTS: COMPLETE set of RAI #1 with ALL 6 Retailers + BONUS
I wanted to reach out to you, Bloodshot, to see if you still had the complete Rai set available for sale? I am going to California next week. I want to look at buying the set from you when I get back from family trip. Please let me know I will check in while on my trip.
Thank you
Thank you
Comics are the wave of the future. It forces people to read and imagine something more then their world they know. If everyone looked pass their reality, less violence would be an issue. Comics instead of war!

Just thought I would add that in the event there's a potential buyer that actually doesn't want/need the RAI #1 GOLD copy, I would still be willing to sell Set #3 for the same price as the previous two sets -- $175 DELIVERED. On the flip side, if there's a(nother) serious RAI collector out there that already has all the other #1 covers, and needs only the GOLD, I do have a copy (not listed elsewhere) I might be willing to sell separately.BloodShot wrote:***EDITED and UPdated to also include a NM/NM+ copy of RAI #1 GOLD (price adjusted accordingly).
If I'm not mistaken, we now literally have all the bases covered. By all means, feel free to LMK if I somehow don't.
In addition, if there happens to be a new serious RAI collector that only started since the relaunch but would like to get all the original V1 series, I just happen to have a complete "Master" set of that here:
