I'm sure MagnusRF has got his sights set on the #2.

MagnusRF will probably beat that, but don't let me stop you.

right now and if true I see up to 4 people here who will/may try to bid. I will respectfully back off for this one but keep in my mind, my time will come and you will then all be out of luck :twisted:

Best of luck to all :thumb:

Let's face it, this is an easy one stop location to to find out what minimum range a sought after VALIANT willl land Let's say a price for an item is currently bidding for $40, well if I see someone say they will go at least $90, there is nothing stopping me from (certainly not Ebay) to shill that price (if I was the seller) to at least $90. Lisiting our ceiling is more hurtful than helpful IMHO.
You make a good point perhaps we can have a few people make up fake prices then PM the person with the real high price so when the shilling occurs the sellers shill themselves into a win and have to relist :clap:

I saw last night that the auction ended. Congrats to the winner - it looked like a well fought battle to the very end (and as promised I did not get invloved)

Goodness! What a result. If the board memeber I sold a set of these to for under $300 wants to send me some $$, I'll accept it!!!! :D

I sure hope he was spot on with his description of the condition.

I don't recognize the bidder ID as one I've seen before, but it very well could be a member.

The interesting thing is back then Volume One used to go for a lot more than Volume 2, now it's the opposite.

If these prices continue you might have to take out a small bank loan to get one.

One of them has a slight indentation on the back cover about 1/8 of an inch long which you can only see when you hold it up to the light at a certain angle, but other than that, it's perfect. The other volume is perfect. If CGC graded these things and didn't give them both 9.9, I'd travel down to Florida and smack them silly myself.

That's my long-winded way of saying that if you can buy these together as a lot, then do it. Buying them one at a time only causes long-term trouble.
Wow, 9.9 eh? That will surely help the final price out. Most I've seen have some sort minor wear on them that TPB's are notorious for.
Just saw this...

Hope no one here thought those were my copies up for sale and bid accordingly. I'm not the person who was selling them on eBay, nor am I connected with that person in any way (nor do I know who that person is). I was just commenting on the books in general, and my own copies in particular. I'm never selling mine, and am glad that I bought them when I did.
