I would like to add campbelljh3 to the probation list. He has made it clear in another thread he has no intention of honoring a deal we made. Details: He posted this IM 55 in the PGM section http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=5931889#Post5931889 I contacted him asking if he would be willing to sell it. Our reply's are documented below campbelljh3 PM 08/20/12 10:38 AM campbelljh3 PM 08/20/12 02:05 PM My reply 08/20/12 03:02 PM campbelljh3 has removed themself from this topic. My second reply 08/21/12 01:24 AM Today he's denied any knowledge of this deal in the thread below so not only is he not a man of his word, he's also a liar. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=5990343#Post5990343 I wanted to wait the full 30 days to post this but people have advised i do it now since he has no intention of honoring the deal, there is no point waiting. Therefore i would like him added to the list.

Avengers #17, Incredible Hulk #252, Iron Man #24, Wonder Woman #13 (1987 series) Thanks that WW 13 is exactly what i was looking for Anyone know of anymore? Must be some horror books or something? This is the only other one i know

Can anyone suggest any books with Minotaurs?

Nice books

Read issue #2 then and call me in the morning. ok (thumbs u

So i just read the first issue. Don't want to read all 228 pages of this thread but i don't get what the big deal is. Nice art, story didn't do anything for me

He always seemed like a nice guy. Doesn't hurt i shared his love for animals. Oh and i loved his hair!

Love those Bats

Thanks for reminding me why i don't have kids and never will

Wow awesome set of books Frank. Are they your keepers?

You had an awesome mancave Brian. Here's hoping the next one will be even better

Love that Thanos by Ron Lim. Infinity Gauntlet Also nice PWJ 6-7

I'm not a fan of tat's but i saw this one in the paper today and i thought it was very creative.

Only the ones he was selling you

I hope he didn't touch any comics afterwards

What the hell is going on there

Not just you. I don't like it either.

I remember at $600 people said it was a fad! They just don`t get it. This is this generations Incredible Hulk #181 and TMNT #1. Except those comics represent the first appearances of characters that have fan followings. Walking Dead is more about the overall story than any character. This is why it doesn't make sense to hoard 1st apps of Michonne or whoever, there will not be Michonne cereal and lunchboxes and cartoons. She could be a thing of the past any month, and unlike Wolverine, she won't be coming back once it happens. I expect the characters to age and die and I do not expect retcons bringing them back to the dead or putting them back in high school. Rick will never get that arm back, Carl will never get that eye back, and we'll never see Glenn in the comic again. When characters are disposable like that I don't expect them to have a Superman legacy. I think Walking Dead is more comparable to Cerebus than any super hero comic, and how much are you willing to pay for the first appearance of Lord Julius? Spoilers?

Jimbo that's just totally awesome buddy. So impressive. I knew you loved WD but not that much! LOVE the Rick/Glen piece. I remember reading the book and really liking that page. And the Death of Shane? That's got to be one of the most iconic pages of all. Wow.

Wow Whats a 9.8 Bone 1 going for these days.

Wait, you've only been collecting for 10 months and you have all those comics. What did you do, buy a comic shop? And Bert is cute too

Cute cat

Your argument is irrelevant. Most copies of TMNT 1 are midgrade. Therefore most people are happy to own a FN-VF copy. Most copies of WD 1 are NM. Therefore most people will only be happy to own a NM or better copy. People adapt to what's available. I doubt many people would want a VF WD 1. Hell most of the guys i know that are into it will only go for a CGC 9.8.

Pretty obvious. Walking Dead was a comic before it became a TV show. None of the others you mentioned are the same.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1? Maybe which goes to show that the Walking Dead is special,and be very cautious about buying all these new moderns for speculative picks. It took the Walking Dead seven years to make it to tv,and become a hit. So people who are paying $50 to $400 a pop for the next Walking Dead book might have a long wait. The Walking Dead was the perfect storm that might never been seen in comic books again. Be VERY careful with this comparison. People did NOT save comic books like they did back then. As stated in many of my other threads; we are a very collector conscious society and culture. Just turn on the History Channel, A&E, Spike, PBS, or Discovery; and I am sure now or within the next few hours another collecting show will air. There are very few Walking Dead #1's NOT in near mint condition! Comparing a comic book published in 2000+ to one published before 1965 is a very bad comparison. 'mint' Very true. This is something that is constantly ignored by buyers of all types of collectibles. Suppy and Demand factor in here. The print run for Walking Dead #1 at 7,000 is miniscule compared to DC, and Marvel comics that had print runs in the 300,000 to 600,000 in 1965. Sometimes age isn`t a factor. I can buy golden age funny animal comics all day on Ebay for less then $5. I doubt we will ever see a first print Walking Dead #1 sell for $5 dollars on EBay. but they sold at less than cover for a few months after the book was first released, so we've already seen them sell for less than $5 on e-bay ok, then from this day forward the Walking Dead #1 first prints will never sell for less than $5 on EBay like old golden age funny animal comic books. You also have the fact that the television show has caused a massive spike in value. This is short lived phenomenon. I do NOT understand the 'got to have it/buy it now' mentality for an item like this. The price will drop well after the television show ends (within a few years). By contrast, Spider-Man's value was NEVER based on a television show. It was also NOT a manufactured collectible; forced onto the marketplace. There is NO comparison between these two items. The best collectibles are those whose value rises steadily over a LONG period of time; not the course of several years. This is a true speculative bubble. Why buy into it at the peak of the 'hype?' It could be similar to TMNT. Low print run, then TV show got popular and kept it's value since. "It could be similar to TMNT. Low print run, then TV show got popular and kept it's value since." So what you are saying is that it is it will lose money either way? If it 'keeps its value' inflation alone would cause the book to be a losing proposition. Kind Regards, 'mint' No. I think it will drop significantly after the show ends. I say this as someone who owns a #1. I was being devils advocate re: TMNT 1.
