Feel free to tell me how I did in trade?!?

  Hide contents

Traded doubles: Batman Adventures #12 cgc 7.0 under copy, my other of this issue is a 9.0, and a New mutants #98 cgc 9.0, which is the highest I owned of that book ; although my other of #98 is a signature series 8.0.

And the 3rd book I added to this trade is and cgc 8.0 Malibu Sun #13

For this priced at $1,100. I don't have GPA so did the best I could.

Still a happy owner though! Get it on the dip? Or am I the DIP!?! HAHA :cheers:

You know my opinion already but here goes!

I am not sure 9.2 is quite at the $1100 price point, with that you gave up doubles of books.  In the end you are not out $1100, that is just what the shop was asking for and you are happy with owning the #1.

Your happiness is the main goal here.  Which you have maintained.

Never let anyone take away your enjoyment.

Amen! Those doubles were the last that I owned with some "real" trade value, and in my gut the Walking Dead #1 was a book among only a few that would be at price point that the trade would "happen" or that the  LCS would accept.

It'll be a coaster ride for a while, but for now I do appreciate having consolidated. Some of those doubles I had over paid for from hype long ago, so it is nice to see them fit some use toward something "new". 

Thanks @Crops068 !! And at the moment I'm content lol:headbang:

Not sure what I got here....

Using apps when I happened upon a big run at $2 a piece, I thought I'd try my hand, although I think the later issues aren't as sought after.?

Well the TV run is over.  Sort of.  Actually not really.  We had the final 8 episodes with one major death, Rosita.  After the mass backlash over killing Carl, they didn’t kill almost anyone.  I wish they would just stop all the spinoffs and reboot it all in 5 years.

Yep. They cheated by having a finale spin off into three (!) new series. I don't think I have the interest or stamina anymore to follow the Walking Dead universe.

I wouldn’t be concerned with $2 a pop as long as 9.6-9.8.  132 is first Alpha, cool book to own.

Just saw this on something bigger than a phone.  127 is cool too.  Time skip after All Out War.  First Magna, Yumiko, Luke, Kelly.   All of these were at the peak so plenty out there but 127 and 132 will remain sought after.

Ya I picked up #1 a page back, owned #27&#100 for the longest, but these were easy as bin dives. I think I'll keep as readers most likely, idk.

They look mostly in nice shape, still 9.8 or bust I don't think it can be done, especially with no press to save on cost vs value.

It is appreciated for the feedback,as there were more in the run at the time, but I tried key collector app  Not sure if it was hit or miss. All #'s i think were after #130 well #127 being the lone issue before

I picked this up not too long ago and just posted it on my comicartfans account. Early appearance of Negan/Lucille with Carl. :)

Heh, just noticed too. Issue #105, that it's published in, came out in December, 2012. 10 years ago now. :cry:
