Top 200 Rarest Valiant books 2012-present? (2018 UPDATE)

Post by DirtbagSailor »

There are a LOT of books/variants that have been released since 2012. It is HIGHLY likely that I missed a few while attempting to update Greg's Top 100 list from 2016. Please comment below and let me know.

A few of these are questionable, as is the nature of the beast; however, most others are likely very good estimates based on the data we have been provided and can (at a minimum) alert collectors to several books that they might otherwise have overlooked in the mix of things.

1.* QUANTUM & WOODY #1 (2017) SECOND PRINTING -- (1 confirmed copy; sold for $1,600 in Dec 2017)
1.* UNITY #1 (Hitch Golden Ticket) -- (1 copy; Status Unknown)
1.* UNITY #1 (Rivera Golden Ticket) -- (1 copy; Status Unknown)
1.* UNITY #1 (Jones Golden Ticket) -- (1 copy; CGC 9.4; Owned by VF Member)
1.* UNITY #1 (Crain Golden Ticket) -- (1 copy; CGC 9.6; Owned by VF Member)
1.* UNITY #1 (Foreman Golden Ticket) -- (1 copy; CGC 9.6; Owned by VF Member; sold for $2,140 in Feb 2016)

thats some work right there.

And I'll honestly add, I expected some other "well" know books to be the top of the chart.

Interesting.

Thanks to a few quick readers, I have added 9 books to the list that I missed initially.

There will be a few more no doubt. :lol:

If Archer & Armstrong: The One Percent #1 Gold is indeed a 1:30, it should be on this list.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

Should the "Brushed Metals" be on this list?

Added "Brushed Metals" to the list.

I had to expand my formula to include 1:250 and 1:500 ratios.

They all placed quite well as expected, ESPECIALLY NINJA-K #1! :o

I have NOT added the 4001 A.D. 1:100 Variants into the mix yet as I am not sure how remotely accurate those numbers would even be. They were heavily promoted, I and would not be shocked to discover more existed than should.

Or I could be wrong. Who knows lol! :lol:

Here is what I guestimate the max QTY for each "should" be based on the print runs for each corresponding issue. :?

4001 A.D. #1 (1:100) -- 222 copies calculated
4001 A.D. #2 (1:100) -- 111 copies calculated
4001 A.D. #3 (1:100) -- 107 copies calculated
4001 A.D. #4 (1:100) -- 97 copies calculated

For those trying to complete a full run of a title such as Ivar, Timewalker or Imperium, the numbers look a lot like this:

Imperium #16 (1:20) = 213 copies calculated
Imperium #15 (1:20) = 216 copies calculated
Imperium #14 (1:20) = 219 copies calculated
Imperium #13 (1:20) = 224 copies calculated
Imperium #12 (1:20) = 226 copies calculated
Imperium #11 (1:20) = 235 copies calculated
Imperium #10 (1:20) = 250 copies calculated
Imperium #9 (1:20) = 248 copies calculated
Imperium #8 (1:20) = 298 copies calculated
Imperium #7 (1:20) = 305 copies calculated
Imperium #6 (1:20) = 287 copies calculated
Imperium #5 (1:20) = 270 copies calculated
Imperium #4 (1:20) = 291 copies calculated
Imperium #3 (1:20) = 299 copies calculated
Imperium #2 (1:20) = 306 copies calculated
Imperium #1 (1:20) = 479 copies calculated
Imperium #1 (1:40) = 239 copies calculated

Rare unicorns like that will have to be added bit by bit. Most books on the list are based on Diamond sales figures and Comichron (which we all know is wrong, but the best we have).

DMG books, French Canadian variants, and super rare variants that were given out at concerts and poker games can be added, but I need the print run info to do so.

Yeah I happen to be one of those that is collecting all of these I am nearly there. Waiting on getting some more good deals like I did in the past. I want to send all the Imperium 1:20s & I've 4 copies of the 1:40 to send into CGC. Then Ivar & Ninjak are next on my list.

Great resource! Awesome work, Jesse! :clap:

I am fortunate to have a master set of Imperium and I have similar plans as chadpdodge to submit the 1:20’s to CGC. :cloud9: Seeing the ratio numbers is very helpful. :thumb:

Collecting Ninjak (2015) #20-27 is going to be a challenge for sure!

Savage #1-4 LaRosa 1:50 B&W Sketch Variants
Harbinger Renegade 1:50’s
X-O Manowar (2017) 1:50’s
Bloodshot USA #1-4 1:50’s
Rapture #1-4 Suayan 1:50 B&W Sketch Variants

These are going to occupy hunters for a bit!

I think they are selling those at shows now. It's not super rare any longer. I bought one for $25-30 pretty recently.

To be fair, none of the Gold Books have “real gold” in them. :lol:

This was the first surprise for me on this list, and I've been watching this type of thing since Day 1 2012.
