Now, let's hope it stays in the family. Someone like DBS making a large bid on it or something. Maybe Dinesh??

Dino would certainly be a great landing spot for these books. I like them landing in my collection better, but I'd settle for Dino. :P

These are up there with the Bloodshot 1 "Pink" and Golden Ticket editions. These are going nuclear...

Whoever the buyer, I hope they win the pair and keep 'em together, and within the "family".

I'm guessing it'll be much higher. No one is letting off, as it has now climbed over $455!

It's the very first Gold ever printed. Also, it's one of a kind! (or should I say one of two of a kind, as the other one is up for sale as well)

Could be the rarest Valiant book around...

Weren't these discussed or sold on the boards in the last few years? I think the seller is a board member.

Seller is board member Zero. You can see that the letters of provenance which JJ wrote are addressed to Erskine in 2015. He paid up for them at the time, and I doubt it was in anticipation of selling them 2 years later. Let's wish him luck. Erskine has been a Valiant nut longer than I can remember. And that's actually pretty impressive since I'm so old I've forgotten most of it.

Zero (Erskine) had one of the most impressive Valiant collections of all time, including several unique (or first known) items. I think he said he was just ready to "move on" and wanted his best stuff to go to the Valiant fans who wanted them most. I'm happy to own the first discovered (and first CGC graded) Bloodshot #0 Platinum from Zero's collection. I will definitely bid on the gold prototypes, but I don't expect to win. :)

Damn, thought my bid was gonna be safe, now not so sure. Almost $1k each already. Aren't these what started all the comic craziness back then? Part of history and a significant one if so.

Can't blame Zero for wanting to "move on". Good luck with the sale.
