Looking for help on some Valiant Promos

zachrichards · Post by **zachrichards** » Sun Jun 29, 2008 10:16 pm

I'm finally starting to unpack after moving into my new house. Mind you, I moved in over a year ago, but having a baby 3 weeks later kind of cramped my schedule a bit.

Anyway, while I was unpacking I came accross a bag of Valiant Voyers that I had grabbed off eBay about 10 years ago for ~$15 IIRC. I saw that a set of these recently went for over $300, but that was for a complete set. The set that I have contains 11 viewers all with different images. Is this the complete set?

The second item that I have is a copy of Turok #0 with a green cardstock cover that reads Turok #0 Preview by Tim Truman & Rags Morales. Inside are seven xeroxed pages of art with no text. Behind the Turok preview is a letter from Voyager from April 10, 1995 are three xeroxed pages of story (art and text) from The City Knights along with a promo ad. Any clue as to its origins? Are there any other items like this out there? Is it worth holding on to?

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

-Zach

You will be happy that you found the voyers.

If you have 11 of them with different images, then you have a complete set.

I think woog has this?

I'd definitely be interested should you decide to sell or trade. Thanks, ~Pete

I would also be interested in this, and then Zero would outbid me

Jus tkidding Zero, but I know better than compete against you when you really want something unless the price is set and I just beat you to it and even then sometimes

Can you post a pic of the Turok book?

Thanks for your responses. Here's another question: Are there images of all the Voyeurs somewhere on the web? If I could download the pictures, then I might be willing to auction off the real things.

Here are some pictures of the Turok book and The City Knights cover letter and promo ad.

Thanks for all your help!!

I don't care about the Turok preview, but if you ever decide to sell the City Knights letter/preview pages please let me know. Thanks, ~Pete

The Turok Preview isn't that rare....

But the City Lights cover letter is harder to find.

I have something different with respect to the City Knights; three or four black and white art pages rather than just the ad. But no cover letter...

zachrichards · Post by **zachrichards** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 11:06 am

mrwoogieman - Behind the cover letter and the ad, I have an additional 3 or 4 pages of completed art and story (as opposed to the Turok book which has just the art and empty word balloons).

All - Thanks for all the info. So this stuff really is just retailer promos, and they're not one-of-a-kind, but still on the rare-ish side.

Yeah, I have the cover ad too, but no letter. Looks like my ebay seller gave me a photocopy of a photocopy; otherwise why didn't I get a letter?

Zero · Post by **Zero** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 10:00 pm

So, you wanna sell?

zachrichards · Post by **zachrichards** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 5:42 am

Zero - Not just yet. I'm currently going through and recataloging my Valiant collection because I'd like to start binding them. The Turok would make a nice bonus section in my Turok Vol 1, and the City Knights might go into the bonuses of a Valiant Misc volume. (Haven't mapped that far out yet.) When I get to those volumes, I'll probably scan in the pages instead of using the originals.

Once I get everything bound, then I'll start selling off the remainder of my collection.

Thanks for the interest though, I'll keep you in mind when the time comes.

Here's another item that I came across.

I know that there are at least another 299 out there, but I've never seen any. Is there any value to this?

Thanks!!

I don't know about value because they rarely go up for sale on the open market. I have 4 of them.
