I have only 1 figure graded. If you think grading books is a pain. Trying to grade a figure still in the box is rough. There's a lot more packaging involved. The bubble could get crushed, the card bent, etc. I was never into grading a lot of figures. But it does hold value like anything graded by pros. I used to have a lot of figures MIB but I ended up selling those for C8 or higher figure. Because I wanted to hold/play/display them. lol

I don't need another Dead spin off collection hm but if I did the figures ......is there an official list of the sanctioned figures?

BTW who is sleeping giant? I think that's their name. I see some preorder stuff out by them for the WD.

Naw man like I said there's to much involved in grading figures. So I passed. Plus I haven't collected as long as some people, I'm a late bloomer.

 

And James there's only a handful of WD figures. No need to grade, unless you really want too. I know that the most expensive WD figure is the first figure of Daryl from series 1, then the black and white bloody version of Rick.

 

I had bought a Daryl figure for 45 then flipped it for about $225. Then they came out with the double pack of Daryl and Merle.

 

Don't get me started with figures I sometimes find myself looking them up on the bay, then I remind myself that I need more DEAD in my life than figures!! lol

I feel you. I have a full wall covered in walking dead and tmnt figures. I had to stop collecting twd mini mates because there were just to darn many to chase. The 3.5 inch McFarland ones are a lot easier to keep up with. I have all series except for TV 1.

 

I researched grading them and decided against it. Just not worth it for my collecting purposes.

 

I tell you what though, all those Beserk and DBZ figures on the bay are so darn cool. :ohnoez:

Well, It's Black Friday, and I figured I should probably put in a request for a Negan page from Mark before all the good ones are gone. Seeing these Governor pages on the secondary market are making me think twice of missing out again!

 

What page did you request? #117 pg 1?

Does this make anyone else feel weird? Like, why are these of value, and why is Margaret so cash strapped that she needs to sell love letters? I hope they go for $1.00.

That's just AWKWAAARD! Why anyone, other than the person it was given to, would want to own something like that is beyond me. :shrug:

 

Yes it's Kirkman and yes it some early art of his, but it's not like he's Picasso or Warhol. I kinda agree with you and hope no one bids! lol

How do you tell the first & second print on TWD 7. Can't seem to find anything :(

 

The indicia for sure... and I think the second print #7 is lighter color blue than the first printing.

Nothing on the covers? Normally the barcode is a dead give away but they have the same :(

I'm not sure if the barcode indentifies them, but the link I provided shows a pic of each and the 2nd printing is lighter, which is what I knew. I think the same goes for #2 in that it isn't identified on the cover as "Second Printing."
