WD1 isn't showing signs of slowing down.

[Cyclops]

That helps to illustrate my point about the mycomicshop WD auctions that ended Thursday. A WD 1 cgc 9.4 SS ended for $960, whereas this eBay blue label was 9.4 and ended at $1,300.

 

I just think the majority of people want a Universal more than they want an SS. A blue 9.0 (yes 9.0) went for $1100 in the May MCS auction. I believe it was a boardie's, too (thumbs u

If you look at their sales data, Sig Series go for less in the same grade. I can totally understand this, as I'd personally prefer to own a copy that didn't have any marker on it.

For me, I prefer my keys to be SS free. If I want an autograph I'm okay with it being on a later issue. I have Kirkman, Moore, Adlard, and others sighed on different issues. Just no keys.

 

I'm also not a sketch guy on keys...especially on WD1 because the cover is already so busy (but awesome).

 

Not bashing anyone else who likes it because that is what makes collecting fun...it's very personalized.

That's intersting, because if you look at GPA prices, SS usually are higher than their blue counterparts. I personally prefer blues, but if yellow comes along at a better price, I'll snag it!

They don't.

 

GPA is very clear on this ... across the board, SS copies of WD sell for more than their blue label counterparts.

 

The MCS auctions are always hit & miss - sometimes they break records left & right, other times it's steals galore. But their auctions aren't representative of the market as a whole.

 

Neither is that $1,300 9.4 sale, for that matter.

Yup, an SS book will go for more 9 out of 10 times compared to the blue label counterpart.

Yellows absolutely go for more then Blues

[retrothecollector]

Anyone going to have a #111 9.8 for pre sale yet, please? I have yet to buy from any boardies that have subscriptions for any other boardies, i. e. Beach Bum etc. So if anyone knows any that will have them for pre sale I'd appreciate the info.

[ExcludedTim]

I suggest PM'ing Dre and asking if he knows if he'll have extras. That way if he does he might be able to hook you up. Otherwise you'll probably have to end up waiting for them to hit eBay. The only other boardie that "may" end up with a few is Ryan.

Yeah your right. I'll figure it out. Thanks Tim.....

i swear im the only one that likes Adlards 106 #1 Cover Swipe.

[bffnut]

Is that what everyone was calling the "surfboard cover"?

[ThoseBackPages]

im not sure to be honest

[ThoseBackPages]

[ebtorres]

I'm sure #109 is the "surf board" cover:

I like it but I don't get the inside references to that comic shop I guess. I like it because it's Adlard's 100th issue on the book.

[Colicab]

I am pretty sure that comic shop was his LCS before the fame associated with TWD?

*bingo*

[natevegas]

I could see that being a drag, not being able to browse at a shop without getting hounded for autographs.

[ThoseBackPages]

i'll keep taking them at $50, especially when the Wizard World Covers are going for $100+
