Unity Red CGC 9.6 for 45.44! Very nice. Unslabbed unity reds sell for that much and you are lucky if they would grade 9.2/9.4

Just got back from my LCS and there is a big book clearance going on, so I got Max Alias HC for $6 and Daredevil Vol. 3 HC for $6 and last night I stopped by a Hasting's which is going out of business and got Batman: Year One and Max Punisher TPBs for $3 a piece.

If anyone is interested there are some more of the Alias and Daredevil Vol. 3 HCs left at my LCS along with some Daredevil: Yellow HC. There were others there but I can't remember what they were if you want one of the ones I listed and you pm your phone number then I will go and buy some of them and call you from the store to tell you what they have. Lots of TPBs were up there for a few bucks also.

Also they started a 5 for a dollar bin, finally. Seems all of my prodding amounted to something. I picked up Battler Britton 1 and 2 from there, not bad since they have only been out for a couple of months, I kept eyeballing them, but couldn't ever commit to the full price. I will let you know how they are.

This deal happened many years ago but I was reminded of it today and thought I would share. The Valiant pre-Unity back issue craze was just getting ramped up and I was at a comic convention back in Portland. I couldn't believe some of the prices and I was kicking myself for not buying more extra copies than I did. Anyway, I saw one dealer selling Harbinger 1-5 in really nice condition - I am very picky about the condition of my books - and at a less crazy price than others. And I saw another dealer who really wanted to buy pre-Unity Valiants. So, I started talking deals with both of them and in the end, I bought the run from one dealer and sold the 2-5 to the other dealer for the same price so I walked away with a beautiful Harbinger 1 with coupon for free! That was a $100 book back then.

I recently sent in my best Harbinger 1 to get graded and it came back 9.8. I wonder if it was the free one

thanks, DJ. The price was especially sweet since I've recently been outbid on two other copies for sale:

Yeah it's nice to stumble across an auction that doesn't draw a lot of attention because the seller didn't list everything properly. I've won quite a few auctions over the years like that. Of course that was before we had so many members all looking for bargains as well.....

Mis-spelling always helps (right, Rufus?

) so one tip I always do while bargain-hunting on the 'Bay is looking for "VALIENT" comics.

Cool story. It's fun when there's a little history/story attached to your Valiants. It was an exciting time back then. I guess you could say it is again.

Yes, but that guy is a "serious collector".
