Round #2 was limited to 50 people and 46 of those became fully qualified.

Elery and I both truly appreciate the increased participation and support for VEI which is why we work so hard to make things bigger and better for you, the fans, that support VEI with your efforts. You're the best :clap:

You guys rock!
I never had any of the original SS books, so the clues were lost on me. :P

The embossing is a perfect touch, great job!

While my comment earlier was before I got home from work, I was happy to find #25 of 50 on my doorstep.

Thank you again, guys :) and to Dino and crew as well. You guys seriously outdid yourselves and I feel incredibly blessed to now own a cool part of Valiant history :)

Glad to hear positive response for those who has received their packages. Completely have to agree about outdoing ourselves, but they are for the VFANS who supported this project.

For those who are curious on the contents of the Round #2 Extra, here are the components. (If I remember it correctly)

**Harbinger #1 Gold (Embossed VFVSS)
(Signed by J Dysart and F Pierce with Embossed COA Signed By D Shamdasani, G Holland and F Pierce)

**Archer & Armstrong #1 Gold (Embossed VFVSS)
(Signed by F Van Lente and F Pierce with Embossed COA Signed By D Shamdasani, G Holland H and F Pierce)

**UNITY Red
(Signed by VEI Team: Dinesh, Gavin, Fred, Russ, Warren, Walter, Hunter, Atom!, Alejandro, Josh, Travis and Robert with COA signed by Greg H and Bruce H)

****Personalized and Numbered Valiant / Valiant Fans Letter
(Signed by Dinesh, Bruce and myself)

Shadowman Mask

That's what I remember... maybe I'm missing something.

The components for the entire package literally took several months plus several dozen emails and phone calls to complete.


Need to gather up a list to thank ones who got involved in getting these together.

Pretty sure Bruce will do a write-up on how all of these parts turned into one package.

Got my #43/50 in the mail today... and I'm totally blown away!

The Shadowman mask is a nice add-in, but to own a Unity red!? I'm in heaven! And then I saw the Harby and A&A golds... SIGNED... and THEN, I saw the embossed V.F.V.S.S. stamp... and I Squeeeeeeeed so hard that my wife giggled. I'm talking a Malev Queen decapitation level *SQUEE!* here people. It wasn't pretty (except to my wife who will treasure it always and thanks you for this moment also). :cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9:

Can't thank Elery and Bruce and Dino and everybody else at VEI enough for taking all the time to put this together for us! It's beyond awesome! :clap:

Seriously impressive work on this project, guys. Wow. :o

I didn't participate in doing reviews due to time constraints at the time, but it was a fantastic idea to help promote Valiant & I hope it all helped our favourite publisher gain some new readers.

Congrats to all you lucky dogs that participated! :clap: :clap:

I got mine today! #22. What a great start to my morning. I haven't been following this thread so that I would be surprised, and wow, was I ever! A Unity Red?!? And signed, no less. Signed A&A Gold and Harby Gold, and the Shadowman mask - all look beautiful and the certifications add a nice touch. I'll never sell these, but still, nice. :)

I could never warrant spending the money to collect these individually, so these Extras are a great way for everyone to get a chance to own something a bit more unique. Thanks guys! :clap:

I'll try to get some photos up soon.

I thought I would point out one thing which nobody has commented on yet.

The number of your personalized letter is the same number on both of the gold book COAs. Number coordination. Just another plus for such loyal Valiant fans. :o

Happy New Year!

And I am #38! Simply amazed. Thank you so very much Elery, Bruce, Dino and anyone else involved. Magnus #6 was my first Valiant comic I bought (went back the same day and bought everything else), but I have never had a gold book! You guys are the best!

Mine arrived today. #27.

Since I was the last to qualify at #46, I wonder what the status of the other 4 are…

Still in Europe until the 6th. I'll get mine then. Can't wait.

Just got mine (12/50) ... amazed and impressed and grateful for all the work and effort that went into this. I couldn't be a bigger Valiant fan than I already am, but stuff like this makes me feel appreciated.

Thanks again, Dino, Elery, Bruce and Greg!

Here's a pic of some of the Valiant swag I was able to accumulate this year through SDCC and the Round 1 and 2 deals (a couple of those books actually belong to my son):
