  1. Turns out I was wrong. They are selling all 5 raw for $100. Only $20 a book and not the $79 per book if they were all pre-screened and graded CGC 9.8. I think you are on the hook; BC said these should be in the full set. Good luck with the hunt!
  2. I think this is as close as you are going to get... The Walking Dead Comic #1 CGC 9.0 3813366001 White Pages | eBay Closed for $1,030
  3. Actually you can't. There was a 0.5. Guy had it on the floor of his car for 3 years. But is sold for over $900. Sort of a bizarre oddity πŸ˜‚πŸ€£. It got widely reported so I suspect it was bought for the story.
  4. I'm gonna pick up issue 4 and 5 on Saturday, August 14 so hoping to avoid the spoilers πŸ˜‚
  5. Hey @bigclutch... Can we get this in poster form like the Art Adams connecting covers from The Whisperer War? Sans the logos of course.
  6. I’m in too. Gotta land the rarest of the TWD DLX 19’s where I got printed 😎. Pink Foil…. Mother F’n PINK FOIL!!! πŸ’˜πŸ’˜πŸ’˜
  7. Jeez cannot be many foreign edition comics that land a 9.9... Impressive! I'm trying to understand this La Mole thing that isn't printed on the label. In Spanish, La Mole means either "The Mole" or it's a sauce, coming from the name mōlli. Neither of which has anything to do with comics πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄
  8. Many thanks BC for the preview! Looks awesome. I expect they will go quick!
  9. Hey Bri, I think the confusion comes from our reference point as TWD guys. All the TWD Foreign printed versions say "Reprints Issue 1 in ________ {insert language here}. They do not say "First Appearance of Rick Grimes, Shane Walsh, Morgan & Duane Jones" like on TWD 1 2003. So CGC seems to be inconsistent here.
  10. AWESOME!! Thanks BC. If these are anywhere near as cool as the buzz, the will be a must have for sure!
  11. I'm not sure. In the reply that BC replied to Ryan, he asked this question: Also - do we know when the connecting Skybound X cover will be sold in a CVL or on the site? I'm guessing it'll be after issue 5 comes out but thought I'd ask if you can give us that info, too (if you can). So I'm still not sure it he was talking about raw Clementine beyond the 250 graded or the connecting covers. He mentioned showing them off in social channels but we know what this book looks like already, making me think this could be the connecting covers. Given raw books have never been sold on CVL before, is this a sale of many raw books previously sold graded? Are these raw new books from inventory or the sub-9.8 rejects? Important info to know; I guess we'll learn more as 8/13 approaches.
  12. Even if sold separately, all at one time, it's going to be a pretty big hit for the completists out there.
  13. Hey BC @bigclutch, can you clarify your comment? Do you mean that the Skybound X connecting covers will be on 8/13 as raw books? Will they be sold in a set?
  14. Hi Stephen, that's why I tagged Ryan on an earlier question about this - definitely suggest you guys hash this out over DM. It really depends what that set is intended to be. All new TWD content? Or just all new TWD time bound by Issue 1 and 193? But that would leave out Negan Lives. LOL my head is ready to explode.
  15. I sent my TWD 1 2xSS for a reholder and added the label. It’s worth it, but there is always the risk they could find something wrong with the book and downgrade it. That only happened to me once when I had a book signed (went 9.8 to 9.6). Original graders missed a color breaking spine tick on 39… it’s all black.
  16. You have got to admit, a display like this with 3 different, and cover appropriate, labels is pretty awesome

  18. So it's been a year since the Walking Dead labels started to dry up during the Negan Lives submissions. We've heard several times that they have been planned but where are they @bigclutch? As a collector with 45 of 50 books in my set with custom labels, I've been patiently waiting. (Note, all 45 except 1 were added during CGC existing submissions. There was only 1 I sent to get the label added close to the end there. I'm not completely nuts πŸ˜‚πŸ€£). Would appreciate an update on when we can expect these to be available at CGC. I'm sure the TWD Deluxe submitters would love this, and it would be great to have them on CVL exclusives as well.
  19. Congrats my friend!!! So much to love in those Custom Sets and you snagged the 2021 award! Amazing achievement
  20. I picked up 2 & 3 today. I really liked both. Good, hard hitting Invincible-style violence. Love seeing all the characters brought back to life! Lots of little gems in all of those panels.
  21. OK, this made me laugh out loud for real!! Thanks my friend for lightening my hectic work day πŸ˜ƒ
  22. BWAHAHAHAHA Just read all of this and Sean says No Negan. So I'm taking credit for Negan Lives too!!! 😜
  23. Here was my first letter published in TWD #186. It's a nice long one with a meaty discussion. And FOR THE RECORD, I recommended TWD Issue #200 be published in color (which would be the first new issue in color), and RK was thinking about it, so I AM TAKING FULL CREDIT for TWD Deluxe's color format!!!! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  24. Well I kind of know the formula of what they are looking for. I sent my first letter and was published in TWD #186, so was pretty much at the end of the run there. My hit rate has been 5 of 7 submitted. One to TWD was just dumb on my part - I talked about something RK said before he would never do. Regretted submitting it as soon so I hit send. The other - which we submitted together for TWDD #13 - I thought had a great shot but we submitted really late. We hit pay dirt with this TWDD 19 😊
