ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

As for the actual books, I would expect Seaborn's collection to contain more than the usual amount of gold books and incentives. The first step for anything like this is a solid inventory. This is not as easy as it sounds, but the resources on this board will make it much easier. CGC grading a ...
