I had the best score that i've EVER had at the con this weekend!!!!
You know how everyone is always posting great finds here but it never happens to you? Well i often feel like that. ...but my time came this weekend!
I got a early look at several dollar bins at the convention (and even outside the dollar bins there was a somewhat larger amount of valiants to be had IMO)(but all the pre-unity stuff was very pricy)...anyway i picked up, all for a dollar each:
VERY nice copies of Ninjak 26, Eternal Warrior 50, and Solar 60.
Newsstands XO 58, Magnus 63 (both two i didn't have), and Visitor 1.
And very clean copies of Shadowman V.3 #'s 1 (no price), 3, 5, & 6
and....A GBU! !!!! also a very nice copy.
So i guess that's my 15 min. of dollar box fame!

I will share some detailed photos soon.
Yes, pics are always good.
Pics are gooood .............
Here is my Magnus RED Uncut Card Sheet
This is an example of some of the yellowing on the cards in a Magnus #4 I have.
As you can see in the next photo , the yellowing around the edge of mine is similar.
The biggest condition issue with it is very minor ..... here is a light crease or ripple in the card board.
Heres a couple of pics showing show stiff it is ...... not paper. It came rolled and wants to stay that way right now.
The best part of all ....... 9.99 BIN on Ebay.

Well , I hope there is no more doubt about Red Uncut Magnus Card Sheet.

I think I may have gotten 2 of same Harby #1's w/TPBs also. After I bought mine , this dude just kept posting more and more. They were 19.99 BINs. Mine are on the way. I hope they are just as nice.maraxusofkeld wrote:The guy sent me 10 of the tpb's sealed too. It could be used for a board project or something if someone is interested, pm me.
