A very nice surprise indeed. A lot of guys around here have been looking for a red version for quite a long time.

It is really just dawning on me how rare this actually is. Especially after seeing how complete someone like Rufusharley's collection is. I love your gallery Rufus !

I think I got a bargin for Magnus #13 CGC 9.8 off EBay at the weekend, only $89 shipped. Very hard to find graded as the cover kind of sucked when it came out compaired to most other pre-unity covers, which I think put people off from buying it. :D

Nice pick up! It doesn't come up very often. I was the 2nd highest bidder on this.

Sorry to be bidding against you but I needed this one, I've been looking for it for about two years at the right price. :D

No problem. I submitted what I thought was a low-ball bid so it was just wishful thinking. Glad it ended up with someone on the board. :thumb:

The key picture is the one that shows the text on the back of one of the cards.
(A little text is visible in one of your posted photos.)

The posters are completely blank on the back...
your sheet should have all the text from the card backs.

Can we get one more photo of the back of the sheet? :hope:

Rufusharley wrote: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 *Shadowman Volume 3 #2 Good, Bad, and Very Ugly (G.B.U.) variant*! !!!! also a very nice copy.

So i guess that's my 15 min. of dollar box fame! :thumb:

Sorry about the crappy shot , I'm trying my hardest not to crease it anymore. I will probably get it framed over the weekend , so I will have sexy front and back shots then.
