What happened here?

So IM looking at all the hoopla on the Walking Dead #1 and how it jumped from 400 or 500 bucks to up wards of $3000 for a 9.8? and 10k for a 9.9? Really?

1st IM thinking there is a lot of NON comic collectors buying this book that are Driving up the price. Which in a year or 2 when the series ends or interest drops, so will the price of the book. 2nd is it really worth that? Sure Id like to have one. But when there is almost 500 9.8's (with the SS) again, I have to ask. Is it worth it? People are sending in their copies as we speak to cash in on this book. Which will mean 1000 9.8's in no time at all. ok with the current wait times another year. But Again, dropping the price. Any one else have a thought on this?
