I wish they would. Back in college I loved the Ultraverse. Prime, the Solution, and Strangers were my favorites. Took me years to get the Mirror covers then I find out the Gold covers are harder to find.

I thought only the Bravura line was creator owned. The other titles I didnt know were even partially created owned. Maybe that is why they wont re-use them. I thought it was only Dreadstar, Edge, Breed and a couple of others I have forgotten. I remember the sticker program as well man I was buying a...

I appreciate the list. I gotten all the Silver Holos and thought they were the toughest to find. I have passed on Gold Foils a few times just thinking they werent tough to find my goof. Really wish Starlin would bring Breed back. Love the book and most of the Ultraverse. Why the Hell doesnt Marvel b...

New Comics in my store this week. Kick *SQUEE* 1, TF80, TPBs..

Just listed a bunch of new books in my store. I specialize in last issues in high grade along with harder to find variants and low printed books. Some real neat finds here including some very hard to find Valiant/Acclaim newstand variants. Why you ask? Because they never had a newstand contract unti...

No big deal Woogie. Just pointing out how tough it will be to make that set of newstands. Really I would like to know a print run of these books. Just from my understanding it was Acclaims last ditch effort to help boost sales right? I mean when your overall print is 10K or less for a book whats tha...

What struck me as unique about these books is there is simply a very small amount and they are all pretty high grade except for one of the Bloodshot and Solar. Let me remind you there is still a Bloodshot 42 Newstand still up for sale. Its a little lower grade so the price is a little lower. My last...

Wow thanx for link. I should mention now that several years ago I wrote an article in Overstreet Magazine(Ninjak Cover) its in my bookcase, but I dont remember the number. The article was about Valiant not having any newstand contract. I was in college at the time and I was pointing out that their b...

Newstand Sales Numbers

Just the other day I ran across some newstand Bloodshot issues. I know from years back that Valiant didnt have a newstand contract for a very long time. When did they start have one and when are those issues considered harder to find? I am guessing it was right around the Mass market print runs that...

Chuck jacks the price up then discounts to make it look like you are not being charged that much. I can look past that for values sometimes.

What I hate is the annoying emails about his life and the farm. Just tell me whats on sale and leave it at that.

I agree Daniel. I went ahead and shut it down and then re-listed it.
I would have felt badly if the buyer paid as much as this book seems to go for and felt it was overgraded. Thanx for advice.

BTW listed tonight two tough issues

BloodShot V2 16 Last issue
Deadside 3

Because I have had quite a few emails about this book in general, so I took another re-examination of the book and have lowered the grade on the book to a VF+ 8.5 to be safe . There just seems to be tiny defects that I can seem to make stand up to a 9.0 grade. I found another light spine stress spot...
