Picks for Most UNWANTED Valiant Issues
These are the Valiant Comics that fill the comic dealer bargain bins
around the country, over a decade later... supply greatly outweighs demand.
These books can usually be found for $1, if not much less.
(Not surprisingly, many of the "Most Unwanted" issues have the highest print runs.)

Online auctions for as many as 200 copies of some of these books,
have sold for as low as $5. (That is, less than 3 cents each.)
(last updated July 2005)

NOTE:
It should be mentioned that some of these books are actually great to read,
but they are forever victims of original print runs that far outweigh any
demand that these books realistically could see on the back issue market.
Cover price will probably be too much to pay for most of these books
for many years to come.

Most other issues "near" to these are similarly overprinted/underdemanded.
For example, Bloodshot #2 through #4 are also very common books,
even though Bloodshot #1 is the only issue for the Bloodshot title listed above.

Even though Valiant produced over 800 different comic books between 1991-1996,
the handful of comics listed above represent over 15% of the total number
of Valiant book in print.

Approximately 1 out of every 6 Valiant books in existence
is one of the issues listed above. It is not surprising that
many collectors and dealers who own large quantities of these
particular issues may consider Valiant as an unsellable line of comics.
The reality is that only certain Valiant issues have secondary market value,
while other issues, particularly those listed above, have almost none.
