Guys...

$80 for X-o 5 is not ridiculous. That issue is hard to get in 9.8 due to the red solid cover. The cover shows every little flaw or imperfection. To tell you the truth I'm really surprised that there are as many as there are in 9.8 at this stage in the game.

If I remember correctly it has a smaller print run than #1 and people take care of the following issues like red headed step children.

Seriously... I guess I'm the only moron that would pay $80 for an X-O 5. Well at least I would say that that it is not OBSESSIVE like the 180.00 for a rai 4 or the 250.00 for rai 3's.

oh yea... X-O 1's.... TONS of 9.8s...

just my opinion

Yes Rico is totally right, X-O 1 is a lot easier to get in 9.8. More people slab a #1 because its a 1st issue...and it should definitely go for less than a #5 in 9.8 because its a lot more readily available.

But $80 for ANY copy of #5 is really...just paying too much. You're paying $80 for an 80 cent book. I don't want to call this book cr@p because this cover was what made me buy my first VALIANT book but seriously...its not a collectible. This to me is just a case of having more money than sense.

Tell you what, do this a few more times and you could've bought yourself an IM #1 in 8.5! Heck 2 of these books at this price is the equivalent of a Unity Red in 9.8?!

CC...

Well to be honest... I could care less about IM #1 in any condition. <watches for flying objects>

I've stated here numerous times that VALIANT is my main focus and when sotu was here along with aug, I don't think anyone would be winning these auctions. lol

As for issue number 5... who said anything about collectibility? X-O is bad *SQUEE* *SQUEE*, and when I buy things (because I am WAY anal and want the best possible copies) I am buying them to keep forever & not to sell. I kinda of see it like greg... but a little further out. I've stated... you might as well take all my VALIANT 9.8's off the census because they won't be coming up for sell. Its not about the money or the collectibility... its about the fact of who I was, am and will be when it comes to comics.

Actually since you mention it Sotu was gonna sell me a Rai #3 9.8...maybe I should've taken him up on it...
