What's the most you've paid for a Valiant?

cjv · Post by **cjv** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 9:23 am

I remember my first big Valiant purcahse.

$10 for a Rai 0, in 1995, I think. At the time it was a big purchase.

I forget how much I paid for my XO 0 Gold, but it was in 1994 or 1995, so I am sure it wasn't cheap.

The most I have ever paid for a single Valiant issues was probably one of the VcVSS issues (or VfVSS). But I have paid over $100 for sets of comics.

I paid $400 for the Sting convention variant penguin on a board auction . . . (it came with some way cool extras):cloud9:
- I did end up getting that money back later, but still . . .

I think I paid about $100 for a NM Harby #1 . . but part of that was trade . . I think I gave cash and some "hot" Image books at the time . . It was at a convention . . .

I was out of money after that and afterwards I ran into a dealer that had the original art for some early Preacher issues (when Jessie was young and fighting Jodie) . . I so wish I could go back in time and give young me more cash . . .

Which one was the most.

It is hard to remember.

Probably $135 I think a few years ago for a cgc pink 9.8. Other than that I have bought several VVSS books in the $50-$80 range over the years and sold most of them.

The most I paid was $550 for my 2nd Bloodshot 0 "platinum". I traded it away shortly thereafter.

We don't have quarter boxes here (I've never seen one at a store) so I had to order it online from Mile High

Not much, maybe three or four dollars. I spent about twelve on a Gold Key though. Still, nothing compared to the amounts I see being spent by the others here. I would never pay some of those prices for a comic.

If we count gold key then 45 for mags 2

over $100 in cash plus a Unity Red and some other books for an X-O #1/2 GOLD.

Well, at least a (former) board member was the beneficiary of my folly.

Why couldn't that Canvascutie found these just a bit sooner...

I don't know for sure.

I bought a group of 6 CGC graded Valiants for $450 "Buy It Now" on eBay in 2004.
One of them was Harbinger #1 CGC 9.8, so I could say
that I bought it for $450 and got 5 books free.

I paid $214 for the CGC 10.0 Rai #0 in January 2003.
(Got offered $1,000 later... turned it down.)

I have been thinking about this.....

I paid $15.50 for a Chaos Effect Omega Gold for the CF ebay sales the first year I was a member here.

Now that I think about it $40 for Harbinger: The Beginning, hey it was for the CF foundation.

Probably followed by the cover price for Solar, Man of the Atom #0 slipcased hardcover with the poster, I bought this back when it came out back in the day.

besides the vvss books i have the rest of the hard to find v1 stuff and have not paid too much for any of it

I've got two answers...

If we're talking the most expensive single book: I paid slightly over $100 for a CGC 9.8 graded Magnus 0 with card.

If we're talking which purchase cost me the most, it was a Harby #1 that I bought from sonicdan about 6 years ago that got me back into collecting Valiants. I stumbled across his site, saw that he had a Harby #1 for sale and bought it. Since then, I've bought [probably] one thousand Valiant books.
