Insane in the Membrane Glad I got mine when I did, I'm happy with a 9.4. Make this the 3rd #2b I have ever seen. I shall keep count.

 

 

On the Portland 2nd prints my guess is they probably didn't have to print a hard # of them, say 200, so some extras are coming out of the woodwork over the normal amount of overprints like you may see on a book limited to 200 or 500 copies. I have heard before that 10% is common amount for a "limited" book to have in overprinted copies just in case. Now do these usually get destroyed once there is no need for replacements through say Diamond destroying or poorly shipping books? Or do some of these make there way out the backdoor.

 

I know from sports cards stuff goes out the back door. I know from toys / action figures stuff goes out the backdoor and I know of instants where it has also happen with comics.

 

We have seen it with Walking Dead (unsigned #100s) and we will probably see it happen some more.

Great Point. EVERYONE knows what the walking dead is, even people who don't like/collect it. So yea it wouldn't surprise me/us that if things can "fall off the truck" and get into the hands of collectors, someones making a side profit.

The CGC database says that only one copy of the #2 second print has been graded and it was 9.6. How often do they update the database?

Sooo I'm not sure if this just spiked because of the Michonne pages, but this is insane for a really pedestrian page. Congrats to the boardie who sold this:

Yeah I dropped out at the end.......Not sure but think it was Nowell that got it.

This person has bid and won many WD OA's on e-bay. Seems like we tend to bid up one another.

For some reason, the #2 second print is under a different entry. There are 55 graded. 9 are 9.8.

Same person open up the bidding on a new OA that was listed on e-bay today.

Also won two WD DPS last month and two of the Hero covers.

I love Tyrese and old school Charlie, but I'm really trying to understand why that page got that high. And I probably overpay for old OA all the time.

[comicsnyc22]

I don't think they won the Michonne pages, BTW. Almost positive they didn't.

[comicsnyc22]

I'll stop spamming, but here's a really nice 8x11 Tony Moore commission on eBay for anyone looking for Moore TWD art.

I cringe every time I see that Abe arrow splash. Had the chance to buy it and I totally whiffed.

[ThoseBackPages]

YOU tear up?

 

Issue 98 was the first one i bought off the rack upon release

[awakeintheashes]

 

It's more of a kick in the gut feeling and a lot of nostalgia. Kind of like when you think of your dead dog.
