I saw that $1,300 lot and tried to imagine what must be included for that price. This lot does not come close to that asking price. I figured it must AT LEAST be full runs of all VH1 titles, but no.

For $1300, (presuming no Bloodshot 0 Platinum), it had better include a full run of VH2 and VVSS.

Maybe Birth of the Defiant Universe and Miracle on Broadway too.

Doing a quick count of every regular issue in Valiant and Acclaim, every gold, red, platinum (no BS 0 though), VVSS, error, no price, price variant, newsstand variant, tpb, b&w preview, tour book, ACVH (stand-alone and Previews edition), Dynamic Forces, and I think that's it, I count 1160 books. I'd do $1300 for that. I mean, I wouldn't now, because I don't need all of those...but I'd feel good about paying approximately $1 per book. Sure, that means you pay $1 for Turok 1, but you also pay $1 for an EW 27 VVSS. So it balances out. :)

another roman pedistal listing. that always adds several zeros onto the price. they say it will be insured, but the max amount for USPS is $25K. if you were going to spend that much, you'd either buy it in person, or use an escrow service.

Or buy a high priced prostitute to carry it in her bosom. :roll:

Actually, it looks like that's the same guy as the one with the Walking Dead 61. Looks like we've got a multi-hit superstar.

I think this guy is more than a little ambitious.
