Re: Only the SECOND known copy of a Valiant book located 4/1
Yes, I knew it was common practice to rip off magazine covers to send back. But, you make a good point that many golden age and silver age comics were destroyed. I wouldn't mind if more people had kept them, though, so I could get a copy of Action Comics 1, for instance.kjjohanson wrote:It's my understanding that that's how things worked for newsstand issues. Stores return the covers of magazines of unsold copies for credit. (That saves having to ship all that weight back.)bamaphilosopher wrote:Wow about them ripping covers off to send back. I wonder how they'd feel knowing that this book, rare as the Bloodshot platinum error, would be worth very much today?
Man, I hate to hear about someone ripping covers off. Dang... that's like hearing someone found a bunch of Bloodshot platinum errors and ripped the covers off. Sigh.
If you wonder how that dealer felt, what do you think about all of those newsstand vendors that destroyed highly valuable golden and silver age comics? The reason that many collectibles are so valuable (not just comics) is because a vast majority of the population saw the thing as disposable, not realizing later that there would be a demand to own something that was remembered. That's why a good number of the valuable comics (or at least, books that have a greater demand) from the '90s are reprints; because at the time, they were seen as less desirable than the first print (which historically had been the version that had greater value). If everyone held on to old comics because they knew that one day they would be valuable, then they wouldn't be as valuable today. An estimate of 130,000 copies of Action Comics #1 were sold to the public. The print run of many Golden Age books exceeded one million. But because most people thought of them as junk entertainment (or recycled them during WW2), few survived.
Similarly with this newly discovered Valiant variant. I'd love to have a copy, but there's no way I'll ever get to see one, probably. I just thought it was heavily ironic that someone ripped them up, especially as this book came out in the 90's. You'd think people would realize by then that something like that could be valuable. Oh, well.
Hopefully, now that there's ebay, something like that might be preserved more often. Instead of ripping something up, maybe now people might think, hey, maybe I could unload this on ebay. Or, at least that's my hope.

Or, put another way: buy what YOU like, instead of following the crowd. The VEI guys like Dino waited until the Valiant heroes were down, nobody cared, and were simply put up for auction. But, they also knew they LIKED them. So they took your advice, and mine too, in a sense: they bought what they liked, when it was down in value, and made a really good investment.
I buy Valiants, I keep the pre-Unity and Unity stuff in mylar. It doesn't matter to me as much if the price for them goes up and down, because they will always be valuable TO ME. I learned a long time ago that buying stuff just because I THINK it will be valuable, but I really don't like it, never works.
I bought ONE copy of Turok number 1 because I LIKED it, or rather, because I liked Valiant. I did NOT buy 10 copies of it (thank god!). There is still one copy of it, in my VH1 boxes. When I stopped liking Valiant, I quit buying it.
But, like anyone else would be, I'm sad to hear when something I would like to have, like this variant, was destroyed. I guess that's great for those who have a copy, in that it makes theirs more valuable, but I don't like it when something I'd like to collect is so rare that it's out of reach.

Re: Only the SECOND known copy of a Valiant book located 4/1
Lol about a house full of Turok. I guess folks could use that for toilet paper?
It's still unbelievable to me they printed 1,750,000 of those things! I wonder how many actually read it? Surely less than 100,000 at the time. And who would reread it and care today? Probably about 5,000.
I really wish they had stuck to their original agreement never to print more than 500,000 copies of anything (per Bob Layton).

Re: Only the SECOND known copy of a Valiant book located 4/1
My comments were specifically about looking to invest in something. But I'm on the same page as far as buying comics goes for entertainment. Despite Marvel and DC books likely having the most long-term probability of collectibility (since their characters are known far more than others, making it more likely that there will be a demand for their books than for those of other companies, on average), I mostly gave up on their books a few years ago, when I finally grew tired of corporate marketing driving the storylines rather than the creators. (Brand New Day was the final straw.) I'll still dabble in some of their books (a few Vertigo books, and the new She-Hulk) but largely I'm going to stay away.bamaphilosopher wrote:Yes, good!kjjohanson wrote:A good fundamental for investing (whether it's collectibles or stocks): go against the crowd.

Re: Only the SECOND known copy of a Valiant book located 4/1
I'm the same way. I don't buy Marvel and DC anymore. I have more digital copies of comics than I can ever read, anyway. I mean, if I had tons of money, maybe I'd buy Spiderman, Batman, and Superman and some of the other characters I like. Also, a lot of their stuff isn't as collectible as it used to be because so much of it is printed, unless they hit upon something rare that people like, and I don't follow them enough to know what that would be.kjjohanson wrote: My comments were specifically about looking to invest in something.

And yes, Brand New Day kind of sucked.

Re: Only the SECOND known copy of a Valiant book located 4/1
My problem wasn't with any stories in Brand New Day per se, but rather that they basically tossed out all of the continuity since I started reading in the '80s. But it was more than that; it was the message that we really couldn't expect any stories of real change from Marvel. Not that I didn't already know that, but it really drove the point home.bamaphilosopher wrote:I'm the same way. I don't buy Marvel and DC anymore.

Third known copy was sold on Ebay on February 16, 2020: https://www.ebay.com/itm/114116399528
Looks like it was a "Buy It Now" at $400. (I didn't win it.)

Re: Only the SECOND known copy of a Valiant book located 4/10/14
I bought this, and keep meaning to post on it. Been looking for this one for some time. I paid $300 plus shipping. Condition is high. I’m guessing a 9.6. The owner said he got it from his friend who worked in a video games store and it went straight into the bag and board.greg wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 6:00:55 pm Third known copy was sold on Ebay on February 16, 2020: https://www.ebay.com/itm/114116399528

Guy said he has other stuff, like BWS signed books. Old school collector. Really happy to have this.
I just noticed in the first post that the book came from Fair Oaks. My GF lives a few miles from there, and I’m there a few time a month, at least.
