Can someone tell me about this listing wtf? lol

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Walking-Dead-33-2nd-Print-Image-Comics-Robert-Kirkman-/121013428345?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item1c2cf66079

 

"Second print" in headline, then "first print" in description?

 

 

Just someone who listed the item and wrote the description a little too quickly.

 

As long as what is pictured is what you are getting then it is clear which printing is for sale.

But why is the blue cover "second printing" $200? Why would anyone want to pay for a second printing. IMO I would think any good collector would want first printings. Is the blue cover worth $200?

 

much much MUCH tougher to find then the 1st printing. MUCH tougher.

 

ive been looking for a second printing of Issue #2 for a few months now

Yeah this is one of the 2nd printings of a modern book that is very tough to find especially in HG. I don't know if exact print runs have every been given for this printing but my estimate is that there are probably 30 1st print copies for every 1 2nd print copy. Now if it was the same exact cover color than I don't think this would be in as high of a demand or as expensive as it is but people want it.

 

I have had 2 copies of this printing and both of them were given to me as freebies when I bought other WD books off of boardies before the TV show aired.

 

I have since sold both of them for $200 plus which just blew my mind.
