I guess this belongs here as much as anywhere.
I've been a board member since 2006, but just kind of come-&-go as a collector.

My mom had been housing all my old comics since high school;
but finally made me come get them this month (she's downsizing houses).

Anyways ...
At one point i tried for every base/regular copy of Valiant ever.
Man, i have a LOT to sort through, but here's some initial finds:

I might send some to get graded, are 9.4s and 9.6s still worth it,
or only 9.8s bring the value?

It used to be that 9.6 was the break-even point, 9.8s are where the money is at IF you are selling them.

I wouldn't bother submitting that X-O 67 in the top pic though - It's gonna come back a disappointment from what I can see from the picture. ;)

Nice stuff though otherwise!

Hello! I just finished picking up most of the issues you have displayed. Very cool! I just stumbled upon a Magnus #64 in the dollar bin in a comic store in central Missouri. That was a nice find.

Good luck sorting through your gems!
