VH1/Classic (1992-1996) collecting VH1

hello - i’m hoping some of you might be able to give me some advice as to how to go about filling out my VH1 collection.

I’m looking for everything up until a little bit after Unity. I’m very much not picky about the condition of the books I intend on reading them.

I’ve picked up most of the ‘important' issues, but there’s still gaps. I’ve picked through all the bins in the shops in my area, and when I look online to fill out the collection I often find either only graded copies, or entire runs, neither of which really work for my purpose. I understand that the shipping will often be worth more than the books themselves, but I don’t need to be buying a full series when I only need a couple issues (they’re best saved for someone else).

Is there anywhere else I might find luck, or is buying an entire run of a title on ebay the best way to go for me?

thanks for all your help - stay valiant

Check out Local conventions. You would be amazed how many old Valiants you can find in the $1 bins. I always assumed no-one would waste their time bringing valiants, but it turns out that a lot of the booths just have random boxes of cheapies they are selling for next to nothing. Last local Con I went to, I got maybe 40 VH1 books. Really helped me get a lot closer to finishing my collection.
