    When will/will the WALKING DEAD bubble burst?

    Why is Mycomicshop a better market indicator than eBay for WD books?

     

     

     

    Shouldn't be...if anything, eBay would be a better indicator as it certainly has more traffic than MCS.

    You're able to discern foot traffic for eBay for comic collectors, as opposed to a site dedicated to the collectible? Given eBay's track record I'd say consignment shops now have the upper hand.

     

    Look at the number of unique visitors for a CGC comic ending, and compare that to the number of registered customers for a consignment site. I'd bet eBay loses.

     

    That may be true....for GPA data, it seems most sales reported are ebay sales.

     

    Does mycomicshop auction site submit their sales data to GPA?

     

    Thanks

    Anyone who thinks #100 is going to increase in value is dreaming. They are "collectors items" Any time something like that comes out...it's destined to not be worth much, if at all.

     

    Walking Dead 1 is worth what it is because it was a low print run, sleeper comic that wasn't ever thought of as a sensation. Hell, they were lucky to get to #5.

     

    Some issues like 19, 27, 33....they are what anyone would consider keys of the run and will garner a premium to others in the run...and anything 100+ is most likely not going to be worth anything. The print run has to be massive. Especially if I am subscribing....I haven't bought new comics monthly since the 90s. So you know the print run must be massive.

     

    I did buy a Kirkman/Adlard sig #100 McFarlane cover 9.8. That cover is really cool. The SS makes it worth it for me.

     

    The cool part about me buying WD comics is that i'm really enjoying the writing and that's something I haven't done in years with moderns.

    I believe the comic (WD 1) is still rising as is original art (especially early art).

     

    It will level off and eventually decline in price...I don't think it's happening this season.

     

    I don't know when that will happen but I believe the WD will continue in popularity. I even think a movie is going to happen.

     

    The bubble isn't bursting this season in my opinion.
