 So what we're gonna do is take a look at this package that I got that I bought off eBay and I know I just recently did a comic book haul video, I guess a month and a half ago or something like this where I bought a bunch of comics during my Bill Hicks break and I wasn't gonna buy any more books off eBay but this seller was selling a whole bunch of books that I really wanted to get and basically the majority of these books, all of these books are Valiant books. They're all Valiant books and if you've watched my comic book videos you'll know once I realized that Valiant had done a relaunch in 2012 and started reading some of their books I started back collecting. They really they blew me away with what they were putting out so I've been in the last two years or so I guess it's two two and a half years now almost coming up three years maybe even more. I don't know. I've been collecting accumulating Valiants because I think they're amazing and some of the books are incredibly low print run and from all the previous Valiant comic book haul videos we've gotten I think there's only one comic book haul video that I had that I showed which was one of the first ones we did were actually have Quantum of Woody comics in this and this package includes almost all of Quantum of Woody. Okay almost all of it. So we're gonna crack it open and there were supposedly you know the books were supposed to be mint near mint condition. This package you know came to me damaged and usually I'm you know I talk about the packaging and stuff like this in the comic book haul video but I'm not gonna do it in this one. I put out another short little video regarding the packaging because this came to me through eBay's global shipping program. The seller was in the United States, I'm in Canada and in that short video I sort of giving everyone a heads up not to use eBay's global shipping program it's a scam. You're paying extra and obviously they're not packing this up nicely and I'm not gonna buy from anyone again that uses their services and the company that the eBay shipping program is listed under is Pitney Bowles Incorporated so people sellers for selling on eBay they shipped to them in Kentucky and they're supposed to package it up nicely and ship it to you and obviously they haven't and they cost a lot of money. Way too much money. Okay and if you want to know more you know take a look at that video. So let me show you what the package of this looks like. All they've done, I mean it's not even full of this bubble this foamy stuff right? The top part is missing so I'm hoping the more expensive books were lowered down and I'm pretty sure this package would have been flipped so I'm not sure what kind of conditions these are and you can tell it's been banged around a little bit right? Take a look at that. I'm happy to get these books hopefully they're in as close to original condition as possible. There's about it. Like they didn't even change the box because the box has the name of the person that sent it to me so I'm not sure what this eBay Global Shipping Program is supposed to do and this is you know there's another bag down below this but let's take a look at these ones for now. I want to check the corner see how badly it's not as bad as it looked from the outside so let me show you let me tell you what I ended up getting and this is this box there's 93 books 93 books all of them valiance and hopefully they're in order okay they are in order so what we're gonna do is I'm just gonna show you tell you what they are okay and I'll check these later myself because I want to sit down on the table if they're mint condition I want to keep them in mint condition and I'm gonna be checking a few days because the box the package was damaged right I want to make sure it's all okay so let me show you this is it seems to be in order so I'm gonna tell you what they are what each lot was and give you the prices for them and again with the comic book all videos I haven't I don't know if I've done this with all of them but I'm gonna tell you what the what the price was how many books in each lot and per unit cost so the total package was 93 bucks okay all of them from the valiant relaunch from 2012 there's 93 bucks not including shipping all of them they cost me $188.72 so basically you know if you divide $188.72 by 93 you get per unit cost and they cost me $2.03 per unit per book if you include shipping the total package including shipping cost me $238 for 93 bucks so it ended up costing me 256 per unit per book so the shipping cost me 53 cents extra per book okay so we went from $2.00 $2.03 to $2.56 so one of the lots I ended up buying let me find it here I just printed them all off in a sheet I haven't put them on a spreadsheet yet but you will see I'm in a spreadsheet there it is this is the big lot so one the books that came with this lot okay it there was 21 bucks okay and there were the mini-serieses from valiant and so 21 bucks they cost me 14.99 so for these books I'm about to show you they're all the mini-serieses there's 21 books cost me 14.99 which is $15 so it cost me $1.71 per book okay and they include the first Dr. Mirage series well the both Dr. Mirage series you know what I can't remember I read the first one but I can't remember first I think it's the five-issue one but here's this one and I really liked it the Dr. Mirage the first series that I read they look to be they look to be really good condition even though the box was damaged they had a bit of denting on the board if they weren't in the boards wow I don't even know what the books would be like and here's number five and this is a story with I'm gonna give you some spoilers but this is Dr. Mirage and that's his partner that was sort of stuck in another realm and then this is the Dr. Mirage second this is the second series and it's a four-issue mini-series and I didn't I haven't read this one yet so I might read this one here's number two here's number three here's number four so Dr. Mirage it included it included I see put him in order that drop okay here's number one I haven't read this mini-series I picked it up but I didn't read it but people didn't like it consensus is this isn't a very good mini because it was supposed to be sort of chaotic here's number three this one is a different lots of Britannia and as you know I've already picked up Britannia and this is one of the best reads of 2016 it was fantastic if you want amazing detective Roman timepiece sure read this amazing amazing amazing storytelling right Peter Milligan and Jose one Jose Europe amazing art and the other one that I've read there's Savage and you know where you pick this one up as well and again one of the one of the best books to come out I'm just checking the edges just to see how I'm surprised it's not as the books are as damaged as they seem before it was nervous very very nervous there's savage number four that drop and then there is so that should have been 21 bucks let's check that like so 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 okay so 21 bucks those books are there sweet sweet sweet sweet the other lot that I bought was a book of death mini series and I've read book of death this this was absolutely brilliant me the book of death kicks into here's number one okay and this is the regular cover a book of death after the four issue it kicked into wrath of the eternal warrior so book of death 1 to 4 is really the prequel to wrath of the eternal warrior as far as I'm concerned some must read before reading wrath of the eternal warrior and the reason I bought this is because it had book of death the interlocking covers and I don't have these ones Robert Vanity Robert I don't know the cover artists this for this but it's got all four interlocking covers which is fantastic and the book of death them one shots that came out I mentioned this before there was four one shots it was fall of harbinger fall of bloodshot fall of ninja I can follow XO fall of XO was okay fall of ninja was really really good fantastic right but for me the fall of harbinger and fall of bloodshot were outstanding they were two of the best one shots I've ever read in my comic book reading here's another package this one see the edges the plastic is not damaged there's a little bit of a hole there but I think that's just a hole so the edges of the top bag of the books say much of the damage and I'm glad that these weren't the top books weren't the quantum of woody stuff because it's mainly because of quantum woody I ended up buying all the other valiance from him because I really wanted the quantum of woody I don't I have some of the quantum woody actually the ones from the relaunch but I didn't have a quantum of woody from the 1990s the first one and just a heads up from what we understand from the latest news is quantum of woody is I think they're trying to make a TV series or a movie I don't you know who knows if it's ever going to come through but supposedly or supposedly quantum of woody is going to be turned into a TV series and if it is it's amazing it's one of the best next to like to the funniest comic book series stories you can read that I've ever read is archer and Armstrong which is absolutely brilliant 2012 archer and Armstrong series is one of the greatest series ever written so it's really funny it's a fantastic world I've created and what I've read of quantum of woody is absolutely brilliant okay so this one is let's take a look it's the first series I think so awesome so this one is this was the most expensive because I believe it's the first appearance of quantum woody for some reason I've checked out quantum woody and some places are listing the first appearance of quantum woody as it's a different book but from what I understand that's the reprint of the first four issues of this if someone knows more about this I'm gonna look a little further into this sorry I haven't looked in this a little bit further but I wanted to crack this open because of the damage to the box right but from what I understand this might be the first appearance of quantum woody and it's pretty sprite and atoms and this one is not in the greatest shape I'm gonna crack this open let's check it out so this is 23 bucks the title was this was a quantum woody volume one complete run plus the goat the goat issue and it says it's from number 1 to 32 and I didn't know this but 32 was misnumbering supposed to be actually 23 I don't know if they did on purpose or here's this is what I'm cranking over right now quantum woody number one and it's got a little bit of crease mark here and he listed these books as being in very fine to near mid condition okay everything was basically very fine to near and this was by for the most expensive now this is going to be in very fine condition so this came out in 1987 I wouldn't say it could be very fine let me show you this I'm not sure if you can see that it's got the creases there the marks there I would rate this I would give this a seven right it was a numbering system because I don't I like numbering it on a math guy and you can see some of the stress marks there and the thing so I would give this a seven seven point five eight maybe okay as long as the rest of them are more near mint I'm okay with this that this is the first big I can't wait to read this I haven't read this I read volume two the one that was a 12 issue run actually I'm missing I haven't read all of it yeah this is a claim this is the claim seriously realized was a claim as soon as you saw the average I take a look at this advertisement for X so the claim like wow and this is Christopher Priest and this is supposed to be an amazing series so that's number one okay let me show you the rest of them world's worst superhero team quantum and woody 1997 a claim introducing the goats and these look like to be some nice copies this goat is awesome really it's like you introduce a goat the murderous master of quantum quantum energy uh really that's so much reading to do here's number seven I should tell you I don't know if I told you how much this cost me this one costs me the 23 bucks cost 102 dollars and 50 cents I'm gonna buy these I don't know if I bought them here's number nine bought them before the announcements that quantum what do you because it took a while for this thing to come I think was after the announcement for that quantum what he is has been not licensed what's it called when they get a writer on it but basically cost me 23 bucks cost me 102 dollars and 50 cents could be 24 bucks including the goat I don't know so it ended up being this is by far the more expensive lot ended up costing 446 per issue which is basically I basically paid cover price per issue cover price actually yeah in Canada was well actually this would be us I paid two dollars more per issue than what the cover price would have been if I bought them off the bat in 1997 but I wasn't I don't think I was buying books back then what was this guy I don't know what does it say the big payback back to regular number this is number four is born before I used to call it back Magnum force number four I don't know number 18 back to regular numbering this is it up top here two girls a goat a guy and a pizza sounds like a fantastic story that's what it says above it two girls a goat a guy and a pizza life is sweet beware of the dark kitty meow who's this guy so this is number 20 decided the dark quantum woody number 21 quantum unleashed unleashed watch out so that's 21 here's 32 eclipse part three of four part three of four where's part four this is the last of the regular issues regular series and then here's the goat issue heavy armored espionage deadly uber sheep this is proof of the Beatles cover right who's barefoot this guy's barefoot condition so it's just number one I should ask the number 20 or 32 yeah 32 is a little bit of scott I don't know if you can see like the black usually black covers or they get damaged first for comic books a little bit of white dots on there okay so I guess this wasn't 23 bucks it was hold on a second that was 21 22 yeah I guess 32 should have been 22 not 32 and yeah it is 23 bucks okay so 23 bucks 102 dollars and 50 cents and it cost me 446 and the people that were bidding on this they had they were basically they you know they were into the hundreds and thousands with their with their ranking okay with their feedback so here's another package it's not bad a little bit of you know plastic tear there but nothing like the top one very glad that it was all the minis that were on top so this lot the quantum and woody lot with the 23 bucks really kicked up the price per unit for this whole package right otherwise the cost would have been like a dollar dollar something all right this one is the return of quantum and woody okay and this is a pre relaunch I believe should be anyway details where is it return of quantum woody so there's five books in this one and this lot cost me 699 so it cost me $40 not including shipping right shipping kicked up the price 50 53 cents per buck right this one looks to be beautiful condition the world's worst superheroes and this is priest writing this again priest bright as the same team series while priest was writing the first series but I think the artist changed up here's number three or four so this one cost me seven bucks five books $40 a pop the next quantum woody lot is the one that I've read almost all of it so the next one is the quantum and woody number 112 plus the zero goat this year okay and I think a lot of people got introduced to quantum woody through this one this is such a fun read and is that priest no this is a different writer James Osmos Tom Fowler Geordie Belair so quantum woody number one three I've read that so I know what's going on in I don't know per issue but I know the story that's covered in these so funny so funny so funny such a I would I would love to see this come to life like a tv series or a movie but I still wouldn't be disappointed if it doesn't this is one of the best humor take a look at this one shooting it's got some amazing amazing moments in the series where you're you're just like so it's humor but it's got some powerful moments it got some amazing reviews it says in the front and the back and the goats and this again right oh funny so funny I've read number seven I don't think I've read number eight six more issues to read in the series I'll read number seven again that's for sure number eight remind myself what's going on here's the goat issue I've read this one too goat zero I'm pretty sure I've read this one I'll have to flip through it just to make sure and then I'm not sure if you put the zero issue between number eight and nine because it came out during that time but I'm going to leave it there and this is a cover tribute to Reservoir Dogs I believe okay Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs and I saw Reservoir Dogs when it came out in the theaters I'll write off the bat at university a small little theater blew me away as it did everyone else right if you've never seen Reservoir Dogs I highly recommend it very violent not really quantum woody-esque it does have funny parts to it too this is number 11 quantum woody this is um sort of like the cover of divine and from image comics I forget what the name is I'm not reading it I just seen it people do rave about it supposed to get serious I don't know if this before that or after that I don't know what this is so quantum woody I didn't print the picture so I'm not sure if this is with this one so that's there and this one which one was this this is the quantum woody 1 to 12 plus the go to shoe is 13 bucks the one that I just showed you so 13 bucks together cost me 16 49 right so it cost me a dollar 27 per book not including shipping right so remember including shipping shipping was adding 53 cents per book this is the last one so this one see the plastic on the edges it's not damaged so this one let me show you this one so another quantum woody lot that I bought was quantum woody must die number one to four so there's four books in this lot and it cost me 8 49 so it cost me 2 12 a pop okay james osmos best new writer back at it again so this is after the 12 issue run that we just saw okay this is the new valley of relon there's a four issue mini series here's number three it's the series so we're really happy to get these and they look to be amazing condition another quantum woody is the link the delinquents that they crossed over with archer and Armstrong and I do have this series but I haven't read it look awesome this is like for valiant fans all valiants almost every valiant person I've talked to they love archer and strong they love quantum woody so this was like a feast like it was it was a delight right everyone's raves about it I haven't read it yet I can't wait to read it so that's number one here's number two I'll just look at the covers and laughing sir here's number three he's got drinks in his hand he's got his bag of food and drink this is number four quantum woody must die four issues 8 49 uh 2 12 per issue not in connection the last lot and they should be the last lot is 18 books total it cost me 21 28 so it came out to dollar 18 per book and it's the armor hunter hunters complete interlocking covers variant xo unity so it's got there's a whole bunch of stuff it's armor hunters the interlocking covers and armor hunters was a fantastic crossover event it was a great mini series on its own and the crossovers with harbinger and you know xo and all the other stuff was a really really phenomenal read so here's armor hunters number one these are the interlocking covers here let me show you how to interlock let me put this down here take a look here's number two right and then I think they connect up like this and then there's two more right so number two here's number three here's number four there's the armor hunters bloodshot number one here's armor hunters bloodshot number two great series the armor hunters are all business here's number three very important event for the valley at universe here's number one this is armor hunters harbinger number one this was the one just spoiler I think it's Mexico Mexico city here's number two and these look to be mid-condition number three and they're all interlocking covers awesome here's number there was harbinger here's a unity so I should tell you what's included in this in this lot which is the 18 books 228 dollar 18 per pop it's armor hunters number one to four unity eight to 11 xo man award 26 to 29 armor hunters harbinger one to three armor hunters bloodshot one to three so here's the unity number eight and again they're the interlocking covers so I'm pretty happy with the spy very happy with the spy for the quantum woody I'm happy with the books I'm sad that you know it enough costing me extra and that the package didn't arrive to me safe and you know there's a little bit of minor damage on some of the books but it is what it is right lesson learned won't be buying from ebay global shipping again anyone that's selling with them uh unless they take it off right off the bat you know I don't want my the comics to go to Kentucky and then to me through these guys these guys are scam I'm definitely gonna leave the leave the seller positive feedback I might leave the shipping part just empty not give him five stars not give him one I'm just gonna leave it blank I don't want him to get dinged for it I wish I could ding these guys um and I'm gonna let the guy know um send him a picture or two of the package because I took pictures of the box beforehand that I wasn't sure what to expect inside okay um so those are the valiance that I bought uh and I got another small buy here from a seller that no I bought before but these ones are just fillers they're they're fun for me I wanted to get some stuff I was in the buying I was buying these and I went to his page and he had some stuff that was towards the end and they were going extremely cheap like very cheap and there were some stuff that I wanted to read and get and there's a couple of nice books in there too like Frank Miller's Batman with the Death of Joker or not Death of Joker Robin Death and the Family and a couple of books from year one with Frank Miller so it was nice getting those a lot that were going ridiculously cheap I guess it was a time when there was no one bidding on it so I ended up picking those up okay but I just wanted to show you guys the valiant buys that I did uh happy to get them and the odds are I'm not gonna I've hit my budget I'm definitely not gonna be buying any more uh not too many more books uh off eBay there's one other stuff that I'm tracking that uh if I do get those I'll definitely show you those uh there's a whole bunch of books but we'll see what happens with those ones okay there's some golden age stuff there and I do love my golden age and uh it'd be fun to show you guys that as well if it ends up happening okay um anyway I hope you liked and um I guess I'll see you guys in the next video bye for now
