[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	That story is from this morning. The action is over now. As you might guess, it didn't quite sell for the estimated $2 million. It sold for closer to $4 million. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hI9XJfqaHatx9HipK3XQxGfCocbg?docId=0f0cb56b09d7417c87caa2720e5e76b5 A copy of Detective Comics No. 27, which sold for 10 cents in 1939 and features the debut of Batman, got the top bid at the New York City auction Wednesday. It sold for about $523,000 -----signature----- * First rule of a gun fight: Have a gun. \| "Any sufficiently advanced idiocy is indistinguishable from trolling." -- Arthur C Clarke

	"Rorrer, who works as an operator at a plant where oil is separated from water, said he was telling a co-worker about Captain America No. 2, a 1941 issue in which the hero bursts in on Adolf Hitler, when the co-worker mused that it would be something if he had Action Comics No. 1, in which Superman makes his first appearance. "I went home and was looking through some of them and there it was," said Rorrer, who then began researching the collection's value in earnest." What kind of a dumbass doesn't know Captain America #2 and Action Comics #1 are worth staggering amounts of money? I bet even Snooky knows that. -----signature----- (none)
