Great stuff!

This is the best book in the industry. I try to stay away from hyperbole, but it's just SO good.

Agreed. Either way, I LOVED the B&W NYCC variant. It's been the only book I've contemplated getting SS'd. in a while.

Yeah-- love the exposed brick.

Need a 9.9 WD 10th Anniversary double signed? Apparently there are a few. Had to figure there'd be some given the binding.

That and the RRP is monies!! C2E2 Variant...

I HATE all these reprints and foreign variants. It makes sifting through #1's much more difficult.

You just described my kitchen: Hahahaha

Well, it's an early Michonne page, and we just saw the #19 cover and a couple of #19 pages sell for big bucks, so this page from just two issues later is probably riding the coattails a bit. Plus, Tyreese just had his breakthrough episode on the TV show and looks to play a big role this season, so maybe the timing was just right. Also, while $1,300 may look expensive relative to historical TWD comps, in the grand scheme of things, there's not a lot of other art I collect that is priced that inexpensively (some, but not a lot). For some collectors, they might not hesitate to pay a couple/few hundred bucks over what longtime TWD OA collectors might deem reasonable, because that's basically a rounding error for a lot of people in this hobby (and, no, I did not buy the page, though I did think about it). First off, congrats to the seller as well as the buyer. Good price for the seller and this is something the buyer clearly was eager to add to his collection. As you note, an early page with Michonne and Tyrese. My own thought, though, is that while $1300 may be "inexpensive" relative to other OA, it is not inexpensive relative to WD OA. It's basically 1/6 the price of the #19 first Michonne appearance pages that sold a couple of weeks earlier. Those prices ($8K+) caught people by surprise. But I'd rather have one of those pages than 6-7 of these pages. To me, side-by-side, I view the #19 pages as either undervalued, or this $1300 page as overvalued. I realize there's a big difference between $1300 and $8000, but for those collectors to whom a few hundred dollars is a rounding error, it's probably not as big of a deal. I'd consider myself a solid collector for WD art, but yeah, I just don't see it. Happy to overpay on even non-splashes, non-zombie pages, etc. I put in a bid late in the game, but realized it was going more than 1K and backed off. Perhaps it actually is the Gene affect post the WD #19 movement from this month.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around why this ended so high. Absolutely makes zero sense to me, unless someone just got nostalgic over a certain page. Tyrese is my favorite character, but a simple stage shot at the prison, no zombies, not even her sword-- finishes at $1,300? I just don't get it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Walking-Dead-21-page-17-Charlie-Adlard-Tyreese-Michonne-Prison-/171154396560?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27d998d590

Someone's actually bid $10k on this... Anyone else think that is idiotic?

This is a job for Super James!!!!! Go get em' James!!! Here's already got that in 10.

I'm in. Cut off the grizzly man beard and now rocking the Abe Stash!! Hell yeah! Strange. I just don't understand why Tyrese's first appearance didn't get a big bump like this. Maybe #53 was undervalued?

You do own a page from issue one, don't you? Unfortunately, he still does

Don't do it! Just wait until the summer and buy then.

Whoa. Retro?

NOPE...sniped it.... Like you have said in the past, there are still good pgs to be had at good prices. Picked up two pgs about 30 or so days ago for around $300. Early pgs too... Thought I was under bidder on that guy. Nice grab, James.

not yet. hopefully before I can get one. I was selling mine on the boards for $485 and couldn't get a bite. I should have waited!

The group just feels very lost. I'm all about bottle episodes that drive the plot, but to me, this didn't drive the plot. For reference, last year's "Clear" episode with Morgan was phenomenal. I thought it really showed for the first time how the new world was changing people for better or worse. This episode just sort of pieced things together haphazardly, Rick made a major decision without the group, and this weird flu thing is still grey area.

You find it hard to believe that the grass is cut, meanwhile, there are ROAMING, ROTTING THINGS THAT WERE ONCE HUMAN THAT ARE NOW EATING THE FLESH OF OTHER HUMANS? Suspend disbelief a littttttle bit, dude.

Thought about it more and yeah- last nights episode was disappointing. Only because it didn't really settle or progress anything. I still feel like the decision was off, or forced. Did someone get another role on another TV show?

Didn't see that coming at all. Wow.

Nice.

My counter would be that a sale of 1725 is only one date point, and doesn't indicate a trend. True, average sales price fell over the summer and reached a low of $1625. However, 90 day average is $2203 which is $100 over the 12 month average. 2011 average was $630, 2012 average was $1581, 2013 average is $2178. I don't see any more huge jumps in prices, and at the same time I don't see a large drop in value. Nailed it. The market is set for the short term. Let's see what it looks like after the show.

This is one of my favorite threads on the boards, but the title of "A Simple Discussion" is a bit misleading.
