One more issue left, if they can finish with a bang and ideally somehow link this to Valiant continuity then that would be pleasing. Fan theory (let's see if the actual story is better than this...) The ancient weapon they believe the guy's genetic code matches is an old X-O Manowar armor belonging...

well chiclo, he shot down all of gregs theories, pointed out the other possibilities, and still left the whole thing open "...he shot down all of Greg's theories" (translation) "... he said the books were probably overprints indistinguishable from every other copy, not normal prints ...

The fact that you guys got the whole world to buy rapeseed oil by calling it "Canola" is all anyone needs to know about your craftiness.

I just did a quick check of Ninjak #1 through #17 and #0, #00 and I don't see Bloodshot in any of them.

Thanks for posting this. When VALIANT (VH1) started to hit around Unity, the numbers just skyrocketed, would love to see a chart like this for VH1 print run numbers. Done (and already online for about 20 years), for the averages, anyway. :lol: http://valiantarchive.com/valiant/images/printchart.jpg...

$100 looks like the standard price for that company: https://www.threezerohk.com/

Speculation is that these stickers were used by bookstore chains who would have direct edition accounts and then sticker the books with their own barcodes. Bookstores with lots of locations would allow for the same stickers to pop up in collections all over the country. Books-A-Million, Barnes &...

I'd like to pick up a More Fun #14 sometime, but I've got too many expensive items on my home improvements list right now.

I bought some oldies recently. The best of the bunch, in my view, is More Fun Comics 14 from 1936. It contains a Dr Occult appearance which some refer to as a Superman prototype created by Simon and Shuster. What makes this issue fun is that Occult here dons a superhero outfit and cape, which are b...

I think the CGC Census numbers in this discussion are correct. CGC separates the 2nd print pretty easily (unlike other books they mix up).

Are we supposed to know (assume) that "Joe" at the end of Harbinger #8 is a "harmless" ("powerless") version of Peter?

If so, the end of the story seems to have been written during episodes of Moon Knight, and Joe is mild-mannered and unaware like Steven Grant.

5) There is a near-0 chance of "upgrading" a 9.6 to a 9.8 on that book While Greg is entirely correct in the factors he pointed out, I submit that #5 is absolutely the biggest factor. :-) It would have been expensive to test, but I suspect that CGC standards for 9.8 have changed over time...

There are probably a few things causing the 8-to-1 price discrepancy for CGC 9.8 price vs CGC 9.6: 1) Buyers really want 9.8 for 1990s comics, actively avoiding Not-9.8 (though that is changing for high demand issues). 2) The CGC Census ratio of 9.6 to 9.8 is 3-to-1, but the ratio of Not-9.8 to 9.8 ...

The most recent sale is an 8.0 for $1,300 in March 2022.

It's not sneaking if the door was open.

So, you're saying you heard about "counterfeit Valiant" books 15 years ago?

Sinbad?

No, it was Shaq. Shaq never played a genie. No one is gaslighting you. You're crazy.

first of all, Birthday Cake Boy doesnt count.. at all. He wasnt there in 1991-1992 was he? All BCB is doing is parroting Fred. This is all Jim Shooter, who I guess you guys think is worthless, but i seem to remember Greg saying differently on the podcast. Like i said, he both, started, deferred to ...

The official story seems ridiculous, at least you can admit that right? I don't know what happened, and neither does anyone else in this discussion, however... There's nothing preposterous about the scenario: Guy works at Sparta printing company and sees that Valiant books are hot. Guy knows that d...

Since the fake Valiant company wrote their name inside in 2007, it was pretty easy to identify those. Assuming the same company that produced the "Sneak Peak" was involved in 1992, we should be looking for "Soler" and "Magnius" books. They did make a Soler statue… :hm:...
