Top Ten

Post by Rubiks-Q-Bert »

I was just wondering what people consider the top ten of the valiant universe. Comics, pins, statues, etc. My personal favorite is the unity series.

I have many favorite issues, but in terms of collectbility, I'd have to say:

1. One of a kind items. For example: Original artwork or the items I bought from Bob Layton or Kevin VanHook.

2. Limited Promo items. Example: Diamond Unity Trades, Gold Books, Valiant Voyuers, Gold Pins, Beer, officially sent autographed posters and comics.

3. General Promo Items. Example: Promo cards, 3rd Anniversary Party Kit, promo posters, bookmarks, postcards, etc.

4. Pre-Unity and Last V1 issues.

5. Official Misc. Items. Example: Valiant Voices, Pins, Rings, Lithos, Apparel, VVSS books, DF signed books, etc.

6. Valiant Related Misc. Items. Example: Retailer Magazines, General magazines, catalogs, etc.

7. Common V1 issues.

8. Common Acclaim issues.

9. Pre-hero Valiants. Example: Nintendo Comics, Nintendo Power magazines, WWF, Spanish KFC promo, etc.

10. All Other Non Valiant Universe Related issues released by either Valiant or Acclaim.

11. Foreign and Newstand Editions.

If your talking about best reads, I agree with slym. If your talking about the hard to get collectables. In no part. order:

1. Bloodshot Plat.

2. X-O statue

3. X-O Gold Ring

4, Wooden box card set

5. Unity Diamond Trades

6. CEAR

7. Unity Red ( San diego signed)

8. Harby 0 Pink

9. Valiant Continuity Bible

10. Original Art

Just my opinion.

Here's a link to CGC's page - this is what I used for reference when deciding how to ship comic books, they give really useful advice. (Just ignore the talk about invoices and stuff...)
