yep, head over to www.valiantfans.com and you'll generate all kinds of interest. In an auction format I suspect this book would do fairly well.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Chris, but I'm pretty sure that's exactly what you've done at least a few times or two in the past ; and IIRC, we got 'em hooked up . At this stage, though, not promising anything, but I'll keep my eyes peeled to see if I can dig up at least one or two of those on your list in the future . Thanks Jay!

Jay if all I have to do is ask then I wish you had a: Deathmate Preview Green Comic Defense - 9.8 Deathmate Preview Orange - 9.8 Dealthmate Blue Gold - 9.8 Deathmate Epilogue Gold - 9.8 V1 Harbinger 6 - 9.8 MRF 0 (non-retailer) - 9.8 Vintage MRF 2 - 9.8 Solar 4 - 9.8 Solar 10 -9.8 If you had any of those lying around, I'd be a happy camper.

I would kill for an all in one multi-function laser printer, copier, scanner with legal sized glass, CCD scanning technology, and networking capability.

I can use that type of help as well. I'm looking into some modern CCD scanners. Epson makes some, but I'm hesitant to buy without trying.

Are there any modern scanners that work for slabs? My trusty Microtek i700 is failing. I'm struggling to find a replacement won't cost an arm and a leg to deliver. I'm guessing no since most newer consumer grade/entry pro grade scanners use CIS instead of CCD. Anyone had any experience with modern scanners?

There is now a second copy of Savage 1 1:50 on ebay. It's already at $200.

I've come across several SMOTA #10s in 9.8. I finally picked one up for myself. Other VALIANT books I can't find as 9.8 candidates are: SMOTA 4 Deathmate Blue Gold Deathmate Epilogue Gold Deathmate Previews Vintage MRF 2 The Vintage MRFs were a huge PITA. I got lucky and found 1, 3, and 4 from a single seller.

eBay is going nuts over the VALIANT Savage 1 1:50. Bids are already at $880 for a single raw issue. http://www.ebay.com/itm/302153740645?_trksid=p2060353.m1431.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT VALIANT fans are very interested in this book as it Dinesh mentioned it will have the lowest print run of any VALIANT title to day. Considering Divinity 1 1:40 had 350 issues printed, it is a low print run. This is why I generally stay aware from Modern Variants and read via trades, either way I'm not sure if this is good for VALIANT o not. I haven't read Savage (yet) but all accounts are it's a great story coupled with great art.

The box with Valiant in it is normally a bright white. This box is ivory in color.

Don't make me put this on ebay! If you have an offer make it. Would also consider trades or partial trades for stuff on my want list.

Dang, the one I don't own! Let me know if you get another Matte Rai 0.

Great price on the EW #1 Gold Flat. I paid more for my copy.

I get excited about a Valiant thread on this forum. Then I click to realize you already sold me all of the slabs for sale.

I'll probably never sell my copy so make that 7! 7 People!

Bought a few more high dollar slabs. Slabs were as advertised, well packaged, shipped quickly, and were priced right!

Bought a high dollar slab. The slab was as advertised and well packaged. Great communication, buy from this man!

Are there any new scanners that work well for Slabs? My Microtek i700 is getting long in the tooth. I'd like to pickup a modern network enabled multi-function laserjet for the house, but I doubt any of the legal sized multi-functions will scan a slab worth a damn.

Check out: http://comicsandcards.net/ I buy all my monthlies Ed. His customer services is the best and I get many 9.8 candidates and have even pulled some 9.9s from books he's shipped me. Keep in mind I'm 2700 miles from his shop so that includes shipping to me. You'll need to contact them to setup a subscription, but it's worth it. There online store also has good deals quite often. If you want TPBs they can arrange that as well.

This one ranks up there for me. As a Valiant and Divinity fan, I really enjoy having such a high grade copy of an already rare book. Even better since it's the first appearance of VEI's first unique character. (ignore the scanner lines in the center)

Tell me about it. Some people find great stuff. Mine are stocked with 90s Image and Valiant. What are you saying about 90s Image and Valiant!? That's some of the best stuff ever published!

Bought a East of West RRP from Boon. Great communication, great price, and very flexible. We originally agreed to meet at NYCC, but when I had to cancel at the last minute he worked with me to ship my slab. Appreciate the flexibility and outstanding communication!

Another Valiant piece. Tama the Geomancer by Robert Gill!

These are some of my modern grails. My Divinity 1 1:40 CGC 9.8 (I should be getting back from CGC soon) is another. These Eternal Warrior 1 Gold Flats are hard to find especially in 9.8.
