The Official The Walking Dead Discussion Thread 13 13

[Nico Esq]

As arbitrary as it sounds, the appeal of the 2nd printing of books with alternative color schemes or all together different covers makes sense to me. I don't understand the appeal of subsequent printings that simply state second print or that have a different date on the cover. So I understand why someone would pay top dollar for Walking Dead No. 33 (blue), but not the second printing of Walking Dead No. 2.

I don't have the 10.0 but I know who does.

 

LIAR

 

 

 

Since you went through the trouble of making a fake one I'll show you what the real thing looks like.

 

 

[Nico Esq]

Well done sir ... well done!

second print of #2 is one of the rarest non variant books...makes sense why people would pay good money for it.

Anyone know how much the last OA Cover on Splashpage sold during the blind auction? Do they announce how much they sold it for after?

As far as prices paid, I feel that it is confidential on my side when using a blind auction format. If the person that wins the piece would like to discuss how much they paid for it, they are of course more than welcome to share.

Thanks for the info Mark! (thumbs u

I just got my batch of books back from CGC from SDCC.

 

It's not a 10.0 Sketch edition, but I was happy with this... especially with having to carry it gingerly so I didn't get zombie blood or sweat on it.

Cool book. Why does it say "death" of Glenn though...?

[Solar]

CGC does that on a lot of books. Probably because comic books characters have been known to come back from "death."

[Stormsurge]

Congrats Mike, very nice cover indeed!

Will that be put up for blind auction too?

[buddymagoo]

This thread can make me so jealous at times. You fellas have some fantastic slabs

 

[Mike's Rack]

A lot of 9.9's comming back from SDCC on site grading...

[mschmidt]

There was no onsite grading at SDCC.

 

The books that you see coming back were sent back to CGC HQ and fast-tracked.

[N/A]

But there are still quite a few 9.8+.

[Guardian Comics]

Speaking of 2nd prints...looks like this one got past CGC Quality Control

Interesting.

 

I wonder if the graders are just sick and tired of grading WD books.
