Congrats! Now sell some of your OA so i can finance your new crib.

Nowell Bros?

Yup. With the amount of protection eBay gives buyers now, I'd just use my CC through paypal for triple protection. Still though, the boards are the best. Very thankful I found this place. Especially for the OA. Speaking of, which one of you jerks bought the 111 cover?

The fact that he hasn't bought or sold anything in a year to me makes it even more believable that he's REALLY out of the loop on FMV for the comic. I'd take my chances and get my money back via AMEX or paypal. Just saying, the odds are there, but not everyone is scheming.

If you just go off OSPG and know nothing about comics, yup. I won one like that two years ago. Couldn't believe it.

How so? I know I should turn 6 already, but look at it again... It almost got in his eye. OHHHH. You think anything liquid on a face looks like semen. I get it. Gotcha.

How so?

So... I'm apparently a masochist, and I submitted another order. Figured if these didn't get in before this weekend, I'd be SCREWED. HERE WE GO. Modern Fast Track: Received 5/30

Yeah-- you tell em, Hulk!

Ummmmm, Jenny Frison's Hero Initiative cover is pretty damn awesome: http://twitter.com/heroinitiative/status/339747757478793216/photo/1

I really like this book, but something tells me to stay away from these. Know the first few sell at higher prices, but this is a little nuts.

Also, are we all just making offers on this knowing that they will be denied, all to make the record of most offers for an item? Yup.

In all honesty, it'd got to suck to get that package and see that your nice kickback is nearly worthless.

Comic was not in good condition. Has a few scuffs and surely not worth the $20 Buyer: Member id ironskull56 ( Feedback Score Of 12Yellow star icon for feedback score in between 10 to 49) Apr-30-13 20:56 Feedback conversation BATMAN #13 Variant 1st Printing NEW 52 Death of the Family SOLD OUT Very Fine (#111056657681) US $17.99 View Item BATMAN #13 Variant 1st Printing NEW 52 Death of the Family SOLD OUT Very Fine info Detailed item information is not available for the following items because the Feedback is over 90 days old.

A few more popping up. I really like this book, but i'd buy a Saga retailer variant raw before dropping $350 on this.

I think we are a little infatuated with slabbing, too. There are a ton of comic book lovers that either have no idea what CGC is, or don't agree with the practice of grading books. With four out of five TWD #1 being unslabbed, I think speaks volumes. I don't think they're crumpled up in someone's wall as installation, but there's more to be found.

To that point, one of the better indicators I've used in tracking hot comics is 9.6 sales. You know it's hot when even those are selling decently.

No. Yes. Actually the number is shrinking...at least by one recently. A boardie had an unfortunate incident where a 9.8 was broken in half in the mail. I'm sure there are raw copies out there that might have some accident happen to them. Overall the number isn't increasing. No, but it's silly to pretend that the vast majority of the print run of this book wasn't immediately bagged, boarded & stored safely away upon purchase - just like any other book from the last 15-20 years. With GPA showing CGC 9.0s hitting $800-900, the top-heaviness (eg. the ratio of high grades versus low grades) of the CGC census numbers for this book aren't due to people not bothering to slab mid-grade copies - which would be the case for pretty much any other modern - it's due to the fact that it's easier to find a WD #1 in 9.4 and above than it is to find one in 8.0 and below. Isn't it a different game though? In terms of collecting moderns compared to even silver ages, people buy with the idea that what they have may yield a return on the future. Of course all of the copies are usually in awesome condition, yeah?

AHHHHHhh!

Finally scooped up my first YTLM 1

http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Walking-Dead-1-CGC-Graded-9-2-/111077709313?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item19dcbf5601 This is a little surprising.

Holiday weekend auction price? Considering its a 9, it should be that much!

Went to inquire about the page and it was already on hold. You lucky SOB! Congrats on a HOLY GRAIL.

Looks like one of you rascals made this at least a $300 book. Lets see where it goes!
