  1. Genuine questions an I also have not watched WD trends closely.

     

    Does the market not get too crowded and level out/decline when new characters air on the show?

     

    This may differentiate from character to character however and the likes of Negan may be the exception but overall does the spec crowd not wind up hurting the highs on TV show spec books come air time due to those who get in panic mode and undercut with lower and lower BINS's in addition to the amount of people waiting for said time? I don't know the amount of impulse buyers for WD related characters who wind up on the show.

     

    If yes at all then is it not the best bet to sell as the hype is trending upward rather than hoping on a greater payout in the future?

     

    I see it as a risk worth taking. I'm only into the books for $10 a copy + grading fees. If I'm wrong, then you win some you lose some. (shrug)

  2. Walking Dead 100 2nd print is going to be a BEAST. I think median sales in 9.8 will be $300-500 w/highs being even more than that if they can do him right on the show...especially the 1st episode he appears.

     

    This guy may be on to something. I bid on a 9.8 and stopped at $200 - it just ended on E-Bay at $318! That's almost double last GPA. Glad I listened to his advice and grabbed a NM+ possible 9.8 copy earlier this week for $40.

     

    That was my listing. I was shocked at the final bid, expecting it to end around $200 as well. I wanted to test the market with one copy, I have a few more in hand that I'll be waiting on

     

    This book is hot! Apropos the thread

     

    Waiting for?

     

    His actual appearance on the show. When the general populace join the speculators in overpaying for a book that was common a month ago!

     

    Does that usually work? I assume you think it will sell for me more.

     

    Yes I think that

     

    Has it ever worked that way? I know for movies it does not and I want to say it is also not the case for TV but I don't know.

     

    Walking Dead seems to buck the trend with that if I recall, but that's not based on any data.

  6. Just ran across this one today (yes, it's borderline Copper Age). The proportions of the characters remind me of Liefeld's work.

    That is a horrifyingly bad iron man

     

     

    That's one heavy Iron Man suit. No wonder Tony Stark needs Thor's hammer to prop him up.

     

    Colonoscopy, super-hero style... :roflmao:

     

    I'm not sure if Scarlet Witch or Iron Man's standing pose is more feminine

  7. Just started re-reading from #1...enjoying it as much as the first time.

     

    Anyone agree with me that this is a top-10 Modern Book?

     

    For me-

     

    TWD

    Saga

    Preacher

    Y Last Man

    New 52 Batman

    Invincible

    Fables

    East of West

     

    I can't think of more off the top of my head, but I'm sure I missed something

     

    Congrats on the re-read! I do it once a year and love it every time!

     

    I'd add...

    Sandman

    HellBlazer

    Watchmen

    Ex Machina

     

    Not sure i would put East of West on the list just yet...

     

    Don't wanna be that guy...but Watchmen is Copper, no? Sandman is on my to-do list for sure!
