The Valiant Files: Secrets of the Harbinger Foundation
This set was advertised and promos released, but was cancelled. (Due to low orders?).
Was to be 120 cards with new art, plastic file cabinet and folders.
The idea was that these were Harada's files on the major and minor players of the Valiant Universe.

May 1994 Comic Inserts

In the May 1994 issue of all 14 Valiant comics an exclusive
Valiant Era Bonus card was inserted. These cards came in a clear plastic
sleeve that allowed you to insert and remove the card without any damage
to the comic. Always the inovators at Valiant!
Each card was numbered with VP 1-14 and showed the cover and
issue rundown of another Valiant comic produced 2 months prior.
These cards were like an extension to the Valiant Era series 2 cards
as they picked up right where series 2 left off.

VP1 Magnus card inseted in Secret Weapons #9
VP2 Rai card inserted in X-O Manowar #28
VP3 Archer and Armstrong card inserted in Turok #11
VP4 Shadowman card inserted in Ninjak #4
VP5 Eternal Warrior card inserted in Bloodshot #16
VP6 Hard Corps card inserted in Harbinger #29
VP7 Harbinger card inserted in Hard Corps #18
VP8 Ninjak card inserted in Shadowman #25
VP9 Secret Weapons card inserted in Magnus Robot Fighter #36
VP10 Dr. Mirage card inserted in Solar #33

VP12 X-O Manowar card inserted in Rai and the Future Force #21
VP13 Bloodshot card inserted in Eternal Warrior #22
VP14 Solar card inserted in Dr. Mirage #7

As a special bonus you could mail all 14 of the VP cards to Valiant
and recieve the Valiant Era Bonus Chromium Card Set!
These cards depicted covers of:

Ch.1 Bloodshot #1
Ch.2 Turok #1
Ch.2 X-O Manowar #0*
