  1. Good thing we stayed on the Bedlam train!
  2. Bedlam - selling more, for more. #6 - can't wait.
  3. i'll go $60 Banks are open on Sunday, mrrrah ?? better deposit 2 more cents: The days of getting an Image hot book, 500 print run, for sub $100 are gone for the foreseeable future. if you can buy it and slab it yourself for <$150 you have a winner(to hold, not flip). $120 would be the ideal target. There are two avenues to that, buy it in 9.8 for that price from someone else, or buy a raw 9.8 from someone you trust for that price, less the cost of slab/press double ship.($85-$110). Anything more than that, you are overpaying in my mind. Anything less than that, you are making "MONIES". Since the price will almost CERTAINLY exceed the level I am talking about, my advice given my views, is act accordingly. When everyone is buying to sell to someone else, where do you fit in? Yes EoW might be the greatest thing since they invented the printing press, and the big 2 people just dont get it. But be realistic about where the hype and print run is coming from. The good story keeps Sauron's Gaze, but that doesn't give you grounds to forget where he is staring. Beyond that I would say. Assume that there will be at LEAST 200 of them slabbed by this time next year, probably close to a 100/100 blue/yellow split. The actual numbers will probably be a bit less, but being conservative with estimates is good. 4-6 weeks from now there will be a lot of them on ebay. 6-8 weeks from now, is probably a good time to look to buy one, if the price exceeds the numbers i said. These are my views, and on them I would/will act. People are welcome to disagree, and inform me and others where I am off base. But I really would hope that somehow by getting a discussion on this ahead of time, can help prevent what happened to NWM happening to EoW. Cause I think it does harm a books readership a lot more than people realize. I was saying exactly the same re NWM and got panned by the ES lovers. It was always going to end in tears once the integrity of the 'variants' was compromised. Or - don't tell the people 500 copies and then print another 350 for your mates to flip on ebay.
  4. Is that guy still doing that? But yes Bedlam #1 genuine issue is starting to build up nicely. Starting auctions at $60 now and selling with a couple of bids. Not Walking Dead standard obviously, but good to see the book finally getting some love. Only 52 to go - yay!
  5. It depends on the entry point of purchase. I was one of the lucky/brave/clever/hit and hope people who bought early. I had 5 in total and still have another at cgc. I bought 2 lots. #1 - #80 for $1200 #1 - #28 for $1000 3 others I bought seperately, with the max being $400. I have sold the lot (and am still selling 9.8 single digit issues) and profitted handsomely. I have a nice shiny 9.8 #1 as my only keeper. Do I care if TWD tanks? Financially - no. as a book, yes, as I love it. A great,great comic book seires. However - if I was one of the late-comers paying $2200 for a 9.8 #1 (the highest being $4500 - don't forget - GPA is now $2400) then hell yeah I'd be worried if prices went south. I guarantee these guys wont be selling for $1000 either. They will just keep the book and enjoy it rather than take a 60% hit. Thats why the book will never drop in a huge way, because too many people would rather keep than sell for a big loss. I really wish I had a TMNT #1 though......and would be happy to pay strongly for it as I have such fond memories of the comic and cartoon series! Both books will stay strong for a long,long time.
  6. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6464796&fpart=1 Only trying to help Jimmy. The author can be pm'd above. He's a nice guy.
  7. Karen.......remember the long-legged hot chick before Andrea who was shagging the Gov...thats Karen. The fightback begins - Season 4 will be Alexandrea except its in Woodbury. We just need some Marines....
  8. "Ricks group after the final battle - all the Woodbury/Ricks group Survivors." "Start Season #4 - cleaning out Woodbury, expanding (using Prison fencing, materials etc) and connecting with other survivors." "Hopefully the Govenor meets Negan on the road. Better yet, Phillip becomes Negan." The perfect scenario - plus Abraham Rosita and Morgan
  9. I do - and the fact that Uber will make the early birds a very tidy profit.
  10. Not to mention the fact he was actually called Harvey KENT at first until deemed to similar to Supermans alias.
  11. Not saying its official, but wouldn't the word from one of the creatives serve as a decent of enough gauge for the print run? The quote was "he believed" - that was my only query on the number.
  12. WTF are you talking about? I disagree with TommyVoltage about EVERYTHING. Being put on the probie list must have rotted your brain. Temper Temper noobie....... And for the record,I have never been on the probie list. Sometimes it's just too easy. too easy to what? Have random accusations like "you are on the probation list" thrown around. Last month I was accused of being Nico

  14. Lets wait until its confirmed in print. Print run could be 20k, could be 80k. No-one knows for sure.
  15. Jimmy, you would probably blow up a store that sucked. Larry has been really good to me and he puts out a great product. Each to their own Jimmy. It's what makes the world go around.
  16. Jimmy, you would probably blow up a store that sucked. That's a lot of sucking and blowing. When you phrase it like that, it sounds a bit ordinary, doesn't it..

  18. Goodness,not more people seeing Larry for what he is.... I warned you all so,so many times. Stop buying his "helping the struggling artist products" BS and he goes away. It's that easy. I would now like to invite all Larry's butt-kissers to pile on. My care factor is especially low at the moment, so please, don't hold back. Any that agree with Voltage,Vader, Whizzer and myself, feel free to counter-argue. I will shout "IN BEFORE THE LOCK" and you chaps, in your best Henry V accent utter "cry havoc - and let slip the dogs of war" and engage in witty banter. Have at it fellows, have at it. My money is on Tommy Voltage and crew. (thumbs u (thumbs u

  21. Hi guys! I was going to comment, but just couldn't be bothered. He's been trolling since day 1. Besides to argue with the likes of this knobjockey means lowering my IQ to a level only obtainable via a lobotomy.
