Re: Want to buy Valiant (V1) CGC 9.8

Unity Diamond tpb will not come on CGC 9.8 blue label. You either chose CGC 9.8 green label or blue label as CGC 9.6. Ah, that's why the copy graded is CGC 9.6 My understanding is that CGC does not want to grade that type of book size anymore. Are they stopping grading TBPs in general? The book isn...

Re: Want to buy Valiant (V1) CGC 9.8

David - That's very impressive as you have purchased all on the secondary market! I've been diligently subbing my own where I can't buy them. I'm down to about 70, if you don't count the TPBs and VVSS books. About 80 if you do. It's definitely a slog right now, and that last Bloodshot book is drivi...

Re: Lobo's CGC submission thread

Really interesting. Thanks for sharing. Very involved process. Is it weird that this actually makes me hesitate to send in my modern 9.4/9.6 books to press and try to get a 9.8? I could totally see mishandling and/or mistakes, especially if I’m just trying to press out a few very minor spine crease...

Re: Shadowman (2021) #1 Exclusive Cover

I gave up chasing all these. Can't do it. Maybe some other day. Same here. I have ordered 5 of the 41 covers. I might do some more but feel 41 is just greedy. If they did maybe 10-12 covers for a #1 issue the OCD in me would kick in and I would try and get them all but it has gone crazy and even th...

NYCC Ninjak 0 covers

As some of you are aware very very few of the Ninjak 0 photo covers from NYCC exist thanks to DMG preventing them from being given to fans. I have wanted a pair in 9.8 for some time. I had the multiple actor cover for some time but just recently managed to get a copy of the Bloodshot actor cover (an...

The Random House variant at 9.0 and $4K is nuts, nuts, nuts. Bananas is write. Random House in 9.0 at 4k is nuts. I would sell my sealed copy w...

Re: ASoT Shadowman #1 Iron Maiden Homage Variants

Just pledged. (Pledged $1 and added the two Valiant covers, too bad the main one isn't available to add).

Just FYI in your Get Valiant pledge it says it include the ASot Book of Death #1. Did you guys do a variant cover for issue #1? I have your cover for Book of Death #3.

Re: How important is colour?

And yet one of the most successful B&W comics in North America, Usagi Yojimbo went to color last year and they are going to be rereleasing the prior 35 years of comics in color TPBs and Omnibus (and yes this means 35 years worth of material needs to be colored for the first time).

I get your point that it has nothing to do the Valiant Universe that we all know and love. However I think the Nintendo /WWF books are great too. They are at the start of Valiant and helped get the company off the ground. They had the same creators working on them and the same Valiant coloring proce...

Re: First Valiant Comic Sells for $2,300

One year later a second copy of the book sold for $3,200. Does this make the Nintendo Sneak Preview the most expensive Valiant book or is that still the Bloodshot Platinum error? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-Comics-System-Sneak-Preview-RARE-9-8-CGC-1990-/284247087856?hash=item422e725af0%3Ag%3A...
