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.

Amazing

Yes, but you will have to wait the 30 days recommended on here to confirm it truly is a situation of seller regret and trying to back out of the transaction. The shame is you missed out on a replacement. Thanks for your throughts Bosco It's a broken rule if it is though because now i would have to save this money for a whole month on the tiny chance he agrees to complete the deal (It's a big ticket item). That's just a bit unfair that i'm the one who gets punished. If it truely was remorse i did tell him we could cancel it but he read it and ignored it and that lead me to missing out on the other copy. I certainly wouldn't want to force someone if they didn't really want to sell it. For what it's worth, the price given was for a raw book at a higher price than a CGC copy of the same book would sell for, so i'm not sure why he would be remorseful. Why always me

Ok, is this probation worthy? If someone agrees to sell you a book on the boards (through PM's) at a price they set and then when you ask for their payment details they proceed to read the PM's and ignore them only for you to see that they are asking in another thread if "pressing and dry cleaning" the same book they agreed to sell you would bump the grade. Then when you politely ask for an explanation they read the message and still refuse to reply. When you ask if they would prefer to cancel the deal they again read the message and ignore it. Which then leads you to miss out on another copy of the book in the sales forum because you believed your money was tied up with the first copy. Would that be reason to put someone on the list?

You weren't kidding when you said you would solve this mystery Just a thought but this forum is pretty good for Marvel figures, maybe someone there would know? http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/forum/

I love the 301 sketch. Was considering it myself. Glad it went to a good home

We want to be in doors reading comics and posting on message boards, not outside in the sunlight

That Fantastic Four 5 is just incredible

Even his first appearance is confusing Oh and OSPG 42 says: WEB OF SPIDER-MAN #18- 1st app. Venom (behind the scenes, 9/86) 4.00 (9.2) sorry That was really cool the way they introduced him in that book with the cliffhanger.

Lets see 5 European Cups + 18 titles or 3 European Cups + 19 titles I know which i would rather have

What's with all the Liverpool jokes lads

What's that Amazing Fantasy 15 thing on the desk? I believe it is one of these - very cool. AF15 3-D That is super cool.

What's that Amazing Fantasy 15 thing on the desk?

I asked this question a few years ago and people said Amazing Adventures 3.

yay joey

Thanks for the feedback guys. But if that's true wouldn't issues of Transformers be just as scarce in hg?

Why is Joe #21 so tough in high grade? Yes it's a dark cover but for an 80's book with a high print run this book is extremly tough in high grade. Also is it just me or are CGC loose on this issue. The 9.8's on eBay both have multiple ncb spine ticks http://www.ebay.com/itm/G-I-JOE-21-1984-SILENT-ISSUE-CGC-GRADED-9-8-WHITE-PAGES-/120961853353?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item1c29e367a9 http://www.ebay.com/itm/GI-Joe-1982-Marvel-21-CGC-9-8-0986657011-/130741183818?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item1e70c8254a
