Full Valiant line for sale

cleftobrainiac · Post by **cleftobrainiac** » Tue May 17, 2005 2:30 am

I have approximately 4,000 Valiant/Acclaim issues that I'm looking to sell.
Most are at least NM and I have multiple copies of almost every issue in print.
So far the only exception I've found is Harbinger #0 Pink which I have one NM/NM+ copy of available.

If you're missing any issues here's your chance to get them!

I apologize for not introducing myself. My name is Steve and I normally post on CPG. I just bought a pretty big collection that contained as I said, about 4000 Valiant/Acclaim issues. What I do need is the living space back in my house.

I figured I'd offer them up here before I sell them on eBay. Please feel free to check out my feedback.

Could you post a price list

cleftobrainiac · Post by **cleftobrainiac** » Tue May 17, 2005 5:04 am

I don't have the time to go through and price each issue. Unfortunately I have to maintain a real job to support my comic habit.

So how about any post Unity issue valued at $5 or less by this site's price guide 1/2 off.

Guide or best offer received (within reason) by May 26 for anything else.

What I have: Multiple copies of most issues of every title in NM condition. I'm sure there's a few missing here and there but I haven't had a chance to take an exact inventory just yet.

I'll sort through and post any variants I have later this week.

Please PM me your want lists and I'll do a thorough check for them.

My eBay guarantee stands, if you aren't satisfied that you got what you paid for I'll take it back.

Sure..I will put together a list and send it too you...

Sect · Post by **Sect** » Tue May 17, 2005 11:16 am

when you say you have multiples of every issue, are you implying also multiples of the golds, VVSS, send aways, etc. or just the standard issues?

cleftobrainiac · Post by **cleftobrainiac** » Tue May 17, 2005 1:13 pm

I'll don't know about the Golds or other variants just yet. The only ones I know for sure I have right now are Retailer Review Copies of Ninjak #1 and Shadowman #1 from Acclaim.

I will post any I find.

DawgPhan · Post by **DawgPhan** » Tue May 17, 2005 1:24 pm

You will have time to go through the entire batch of books for my want list and then go through it again later for another want list, but you dont have time to do it once?

anyway..pm sent

I pulled all the boxes of Valiant out and I'm sorting through them now.
My original estimate on the number of issues was low. There are approximately 6-7,000 total.

Most of the older issues of Rai, Magnus, Harbinger, X-O Manowar and Solar there appear to be around 1-5 copies of each issue.

Anything post 1992 there's anywhere between 1-100 copies.

Notable issues I have not seen as of yet: Harbinger 1 and Rai 3,4
but bear with me it is 20+ longboxes.

It doesn't appear there are going to be too many variant issues to post but when I'm done sorting I'll post what I've found. I will build an excel spreadsheet for anyone interested, but give me a day or two to get it done.

Thanks,
Steve

Actually, he said it's from a big collection he purchased recently.

Spent 13 hours today doing inventory. I'm 90% done with what I have at the house which amounts to about 5,800 Valiant issues and 600 or so Acclaim issues. I have 2 or 3 more boxes in storage I have to go get tomorrow so hopefully I'll be done tomorrow night.

Anybody wanting to see the inventory thus far PM me your email address.

Variants found so far:

4 X-O Manowar #15 Pink
1 Turok #1 Gold

Acclaim Retailer Review copies:

Shadowman Vol 2 #1, #16
Ninjak #1

I've sent the working list out to the 6 people that pm'd me their emails so far.

Working very hard to make sure the list is finished before I go the sneak preview of Episode III tonight.

Thanks,
Steve

Greg's prediction of the rarer books not being found in quantity is still holding. Looking at this list so far, there are less than 5 of all the low print run issues, beginning and end of the run.

The big numbers 100+ are where it's expected, in the 1992-3 area. Every time thousands of Valiants appear, this almost always appears to be the case.

cleftobrainiac · Post by **cleftobrainiac** » Wed May 18, 2005 4:19 pm

Finished.

7,343 Valiant issues
380 Acclaim issues

I am emailing the finished lists to everyone that pm'd me now.

A couple people have inquired about buying it all. I will consider any offer to buy it all if the buyer can pick it up. I'd also be willing to meet half way as long as it isn't more than around a 4 hour drive.

Please submit any offer for the whole collection by Friday 5pm. If there is no offer made by Friday I'm going to start pulling books and filling people's want lists.

Should the entire collection not sell by Friday:
Pre-Unity books, issues at the end of runs and variants will be sold at guide first come first serve. If I already have your list then you're already in line.
All issues valued at $2 or less will be 5/$1.
All other issues will be 50% of guide.

If you have questions about the price of any specific issue let me know.

Thanks,
Steve

cleftobrainiac · Post by **cleftobrainiac** » Fri May 20, 2005 4:41 pm

Bidding for the whole collection is closed.

If I don't have your want list yet, please send it and I'll start pulling books for you.

Remember: He who gets me their list quickly has a better chance of getting what they want.

If you want multiple copies of certain issues please note how many on your list.

The prices in the previous post were for small purchases. If you'd like to make a large purchase, I'll certainly work with you.

Thanks,
Steve

I'm interested in the whole kit n' kaboodle, if you're looking to do the whole damn thing once, instead of piecemealing it out.

Piecemealing will net you more actual $$, but the time and effort it will take to sort, pack multiple shipments, ship multiple shipments, generally makes piecemealing a losing prospect.

If you're interested, let me know.

I will low ball you, but I WILL buy the whole thing.

ZephyrWasHOT!! · Post by **ZephyrWasHOT!!** » Sat May 21, 2005 11:22 am

Oops. Too late.

Why don't you post the whole list here?
