  1. Avengers #83 9.6 $850.00 Very nice sale and pick up on the bay last night. I still feel pre-issue 100 is silver but anyway this book is doing very well in high grade if you can find them.
  2. have so many of my grails that took a few years to hunt down. Only really modern books looking for still and some are kind of oddities. If you have leads let me know:) GI Joe 21 9.8 Armorines 0 Gold 9.8 Green lantern 141 9.8 irredeemable ant-man 1 9.8 dark horse presents 1 9.8 dc comics presents 27 9.8 dc comics presents 47 9.8 Power Pack 1 9.8 Runaways 1 9.8 y last man 1 9.8
  3. #8? What's the importance of that book? First app Bella donna Boudreaux . . . Screen rant (thumbs u
  4. Start looking through those long boxes for X-Men #8 with Gambit casting news
  5. I am really on board with your thinking on this for sure
  6. not too many high grade Demon 1's show up for sale. anything over 9.2 is pretty slim
  7. Here are some reasons: 1) Issue #1 only has a print run of 7,266 copies. 2) WD is one of the top TV shows in the country. The ratings increase pretty much every season. Season 6 is starting in October and I would be very surprised if the show ends before season 12. 3) Fear the Walking Dead will be starting in 3 weeks and has already been renewed for season 2. This show should be a huge success. Even if they lose half the audience that watches the Walking Dead, which they won't, it will still have 10 million people watch it every week. There is a strong possibility that if this show becomes a hit they can start a third walking dead show. Bottom Line: The Walking Dead is HOT. I can't see it going down in popularity for many years. 4) The Walking Dead will eventually have a movie or two made. This will probably happen after the TV is cancelled. 5) The Walking Dead is bringing non comic readers into comics. I work in a large building and I know of at least 10 people that buy the walking dead comic book and TP even though they don't collect or buy any other comics. The Walking Dead is brining mainstream people into our hobby. It's only natural that some of these people will want to purchase the #1 issue. You can't compare the Walking Dead to any other comic currently being published. 6) NM #98 and SM #300 are two modern/copper comics that have print runs over 100,000. They also have many copies graded 9.8 and the prices keep going up. If these two comics keep going up with their huge print run I don't think the Walking Dead with their 7,266 print run has that much to worry about. I'm sure there are many more reasons. This is what I came up with during my 15 minute break at work. AMEN to all of this. Walking Dead got me back into comics in 2012. Hadn't purchased a single book since 1993 growing up. After TWD it lead me to start purchasing other key books such as NM 98 (First non walking dead book I purchased ) Demand outweighs supply and it is one of those book lines like TMNT that will have staying power for many years and many tv show / movie reboots, graphic novels, comic spinoffs , etc.
  8. + 1 I have had both and decided to keep my best non glossy as it was the best copy out of all the Rai 0 I had. Basically if you had a rare piece of antique furniture that they made 100 of and they applied varnish to a few of them, would that make those more valuable? I sure wouldn't think so.
  9. Mike purchased a high grade copper key from me. Paid very promptly and had great communication. An absolute pleasure to deal with! Thanks:)
  10. +1 I just don't ever hear anyone saying hey I will trade my black label for your white label Is there anyone here that truly would do that trade even up? (Same grade condition obviously apples to apples)
  11. Very true statement. I just would have preferred they left this alone. Why do this now? Will they start doing this on walking dead one? Black mature label version Or White mature label version Of course those are easily identifiable.
  12. I had a few glossy and regular and sold all glossy because none of them were centered very well and it isn't that easy to tell them apart once slabbed. I just don't see a distinguishing difference to pay a premium for one or the other especially if they aren't cut properly and I have seen about 20 glossy in hand.
  13. Hulk 449 should be heating up real quick with Netflix news
  14. I think 127 is going to be a nice longer term book. leap forward 2 years which was huge to plot of entire series, and first of several characters who will be long term players.
  15. Jason was an absolute pleasure to deal with and has very good communication. Packaged safely and securely and shipped timely.
  16. TV Show / Movie buzz Good one. I think I would slide that in at number 3. The little sister and grandma test. If your little sister and grandma have both heard of the character... it (actually) matters.
  17. I thought about this too. I heard the new show would catch up eventually to timeline which would be a great point to bring in new characters.
