A couple more auction wins from Comic Connect:

Got all four books I went after in today's auction at Comic Connect:

Won these on ebay:

 

Silver Surfer #4 - Vs. Thor classic!

 

Anyone else have a favorite?

My favorite surfer cover by far.

I, for one, think this is a great idea. This is the Chicago-style deep dish pizza thread, right?

 

(opens new browser window…clicks link to Comic Book Coin explanation…head explodes from sheer awesomeness of idea…no wait…sheer bizarreness of idea…then posts)

 

Oops…my bad. Wrong thread…

 

Great...now I'm craving Giordanos, thank you. It's only an eight hour drive

 

Jim

 

 

Don't worry…ended up making myself hungry, too.

 

Old Chicago Pizza

 

Yea no.... Chicago doesn't make pizza. They make Sauce Pie. It's gross. Please NEVER refer to that stuff as pizza.

 

THIS is pizza

Quoted for truth.

That's as good as money, sir. Those are I.O.U.'s. Go ahead and add it up, every cent's accounted for. Look, see this? That's a car. 275 thou. Might wanna hang onto that one.

A point that I feel is valid, is unlike most Modern books, where only #1 is the "key" book, The Walking Dead offers many.

 

#2 and #3 to me, are a little undervalued considering the amount of key characters in the comic and show that make their debuts in those issues.

 

I believe the runs of those 2 books were sub 5000.

 

Add #19, #27 #53, #61 (I do not believe this will hold as a genuine key, but whatever - for the moment it commands a premium) and #92.

 

Some may argue that #108 and #127 may also become keys in the future.

 

How many other modern comics can boast an array of key issues, where in those issues previously mentioned, a character plays a huge role in either the TV show, comic or in the case of #19 + #27 - both?

 

It's not just about #1 - it's about the evolution of the series and the importance of the characters both on-screen and off - and their debut issues as well.

 

FWIW - I believe TWD #1 will be a $1000 - $1250 book in 9.8 (add inflation per year ) for as long as comics are collected.

I think these are the halcyon days, and a fall will occur, but to suggest that TWD #1 will be a sub $1k book is wishful thinking.

The other keys will fall as they fade from the 'front and centre' of the show and comic (#27) but they will still command a premium, and be very much sought after.

 

10 is another big issue where they get to Hershel's farm where we meet Hershel, Maggie, Beth, and others.

I submitted eleven invoices at Baltimore Comic Con (Sept 5-7) and did not elect fast track.

Four invoices were shipped today(3 modern comics & 1 economy magazine).

Six invoices are listed as graded (modern comics).

My value tier comic invoice is still listed as verified.

Wesley Snipes huh?

Will the vampires in this one be IRS agents?

Todd McFarlane

David Finch

Piggy backing on the ebay auction of the real thing.

 

No, this book has been selling in the $30-50 range for a quite some time. I've sold a couple last year for $40+

With the real thing going for more than $2 million, $50-60 seems like quite the bargain.

I can't believe there are 26 other members of this forum that hate horses.

Drek is what a comic book is the day before the upcoming movie is announced featuring the lead characters of said comic book.

Rocket Raccoon says hello.

I got my books back from NYCC, over 250 in total.

 

I got my first 9.9 grade ever on a Superman / Wonder Woman 1 NYCC exclusive.

 

I also got 9.8s on almost two thirds of the books including the following:

 

12 DC 3D covers including doubles of Joker's Daughter and Harley

2 Copies of Chew 1 second print double signed and remarked (one with Poyo, one with Tony Chu)

2 Copies of Morning Glories 1 Blue Label

Peter Panzerfaust 1 Signed by Wiebe and Jenkins

Todd the Ugliest Kid 1 Signed by Kristensen and Perker

2 Copies of Thief of Thieves 1 Comics Pro variant signed by Kirkman

Walking Dead 27 Signed by Kirkman and Adlard

Walking Dead 53 Signed by Kirkman and Adlard

Photo shoot is tomorrow.

Two auction wins on ebay tonight:

So what was the conclusion after almost 2000 posts on the subject?

Not bloody likely.

Auction ended tonight, only one win this time:

 

 

 

 

Well....this made my day....

I am glad you like it.

It is a nice upgrade from the raw 7.0 I bought a couple months ago.

I have a raw copy of # 2 in NM plus or minus a grade that I will be sending to CGC soon.

Today's auction wins:

I submitted many modern books to CGC on multiple invoices during NYCC in October.

I did not use fast track.

The books all arrived at Comic Connect last week.

That is a light years faster than the last batch I submitted.

Forgive me for cross posting!

 

 

Congrats. I bid hard on this book.

I had the winning bid early in the auction when the book was around $13.
