Anyone care to list their Valiant comic book and original art purchases at the San Diego Con in this thread? I'd like to check out what you guys bought that was Valiant along with prices paid at the show. Thanks.

Sean Chen did a sweet X-O for me and was nice enough to do a wolverine head shot in my sketch book.

As for comics, I havent found a decent valiant for the price. I found a few magnus 2-5 for $5-$15 but the covers where worn and spine dings.

I'll keep looking tomorrow.

Nice piece. Thanks for the report.

executive summary: there were more good valiant books (ie. Pre unity) at the show than recent shows, and prices were unreasonably high. I'll add more when I have a chance.

Actually, if he's half as good lookin' as his art, I can see that.

Now THAT is about as hilarious an in-joke as I've read in a long, long time.....

Oh, and the only Valiant book I bought was Vintage Mags #2, which I think has a shot at 9.8.

Just a shot.

Outside one at that.

That is all.

I got a Mag #12 for $4. It is in pretty good condition but the spine is not good. But still a very good deal.

It will be my reading copy if I have to sell my other copy.

Shadowman 3, $2
Magnus 5, $2

Not alot of Valiant.

Not much Valiant available in San Diego this year. Thanks for the reports, guys.

So no Valiant = to no Acclaim?

Seriously, the first 3 isles from the right were video games companies. Media giants took over the middle of the floor (Sony, ABC, Scifi channel, a LARGE two story Harry and Kumar dvd booth...yes, really!). Unless I was mistaken less than 20-25% of the venue were actually comic book dealers.

I'm not complain though because I was broke and just getting all the freebies, some were really cool. Cool for me = a mesh large bag.

Next time, try entering the costume contest or playing some Valiant poker to win some cash.

My estimate was 1/6 were actual comic dealers.

Yeah, I tried dressing up but all I got was a lousy "We are the Spartans" light up pen.
