My recent comic con jaunt was fun, so while looking for some books recently, spotted a couple of signed Valiant comics going cheap.
I used to have every comic published by Valiant in my old collection. They were awesome, and easily my favourite comic reads back then. For a while they were the only serious competitor to Marvel and DC.
As such, I was surprised to see the early Valiant era Magnus Robot Fighter 0 and 1 issues signed by Jim Shooter going for £2.99 each, so I jumped in as the only bidder.
Not only are they great comics in top shape and boarded in sturdy mylar sleeves, but Jim Shooter is a big name in the comic industry, so a nice addition to an autograph collection.

I may pick off a few more signed Valiants if I see them going cheap like this. Great memories.
