After this turd I'm fairly sure it's not just me I loved the cover to 72. I do not like the "End of the World" cover at all.

This is so good, that it almost makes me want to do a little research. Almost, but not quite.

Why is is gun holstered on the stump side? If he was right handed before his "accident", it makes sense to have the gun there for the quickest access, seeing how he was previously a police officer. Plus, he is in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, so finding a lefty holster might be difficult too. I have to go back and look, I thought he bagged the holster for a long stretch entirely. Maybe he's wearing it for show in his new constable role. It's got to be for show because police officer holsters are "safety holsters" you cannot remove the gun pulling it from the front as he would be forced to do using his left hand coming across his body. Safety Holsters are required in almost all departments in the last 15 years. There are two snaps, over the hammer, and another right behind the trigger guard. Even if those snaps are released the gun must be tilted backwards before it can be drawn. It will never come out trying to pull it straight up or forward first. Stop talking logic!! Your last few posts make way too much sense. Where's the sarcastic Chris I know and love? Zombie nerd FAIL Rick's wife's name was Lori, zombie dork.

Because it is a tough 9.8 from a mainstream publisher. I have looked at dozens of copies and have a rock solid raw 9.4, that is the best I have ever seen in the wild. A 9.8 is great for this book.

Yes. People were hoarding them in Indianapolis where I grew up but only for a couple of weeks. Cable card and Rev Neg versions were $5-$8 or so for a couple of weeks and then everything was the same. Because there were so many of all of them.

Multiple quote FAIL . . . I'm getting dizzy . . .

ooooh, this is like a bad flashback. Are you talking about the reverse negative on the direct edition logo? I seem to remember that causing quite a ripple at the time of release, as well as rumors that the Cable card was the shortprint of the batch.

Worth the wait.

Dual signatures? WOW! Please post that picture when you get this back. I bet it looks fantastic. Coming soon to the Copper Pride and Joy thread.

Just glad my dual-searching for this book in 9.8 is over. No doubt. The 9.6 I subbed for Vigil and O'Barr at Motor City held it's grade ( i really though it had a strong 9.8 chance, but you never know when they are in the slab) so that is a nice upgrade from my 9.2 OO SS copy.

Your Barrington mancrush notwithstanding . . .

MMMMmmmmmm Barrington Levy auctions . . .

He was at Emerald City this year.

This thread puts Baby Jesus' dirty loincloth on his head, before he even starts crying.

(thumbs u Now if we want to rock out to some old school Ubi Sunt poetry or throw a little Bede on, then we go Old School English! The Venerable Bede . . .

I had to look up who she was, and that is just mean. It's all fun and games until you get a "Twilight" reference jammed where the sun don't shine.

Don't ask questions to which you won't want to know the answer. Don't tell me which questions I will want an answer to and which ones I won't. Why would you think that I won't want them, I haven't the faintest It's like taking the blue pill in the Matrix. There is no Seanfingh, just an endless supply of monkeys, endlessly banging on keyboards, striving for Shakespeare.

Don't ask questions to which you won't want to know the answer.

Perv.

It only took two pages for folks to start in on the "CPG is overhyped" angle. It has been a part of this thread from the very beginning. And as well it should be. Nothing in recent memory has been like CPG, Mouse Guard is the closest that I can think of, and it was nowhere near where CPG was in the April-May time frame, for better or for worse. It is a special book. It is certainly not everyone's cup of tea. There is a somewhat incestuous vibe on the Boards because all of the major players are here. Plus at least half (probably a much higher percentage) of the high grade 1s have been slabbed by boardies. I love the book and I loved the hype for sales of #1s. CPG is a fairly strange duck for these fairly strange times we live in.

That looks so frickin' cool.

If I had not just changed my sig line quote today, this would have made the cut! PS: RMA, you are a dork for bumping this oldass thread.

I would say: (1) Lots of people (2) Lots of people (3) Some People (4) None to virtually none (Although there are certainly a bunch of dealers that have the back issues, but can't find them or they are just mixed in with the other unsold garbage from that time frame.) None of this makes me think that the book will be $100-200 in the near future. I wish it would, but it won't. It won't go anywhere near that range until the ongoing series ceases.

I hate to sound like a broken record, because I have brought this up several times in this thread, but, the thing you are forgetting, Brian, is the fan base of this book. This book sold more copies of each succeeding issue into the 30s. And it may have gone even longer than that. Hell, it may still be gaining now, for all i know. So that 7,000 print run for #1 must be stretched over 40-50k current readers, investor/speculators, Image #1 collectors, zombie genre fans etc, etc. I love this series. I started at #6, and still don't have 1-5 because they were mods that were already spendy at the time I started the series. I will have a #1 at some point, but I don't want to spend what the market is for a 9.8 SS #1 right now. I think there are a lot of people who are and will be in the market for this book for a long time. If it settles after the show, I think it will be in the $300-500 range, and there will be no significant drop off until the book is no longer published as an ongoing series.
