dikran Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 what makes Walking Dead #49 special? Am I missing something? I have it so thank goodness It was the first issue of the next TP arc, so a lot of people (including me) decided we couldnt wait for the TP anymore and started buying monthly.

400yrs Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) what makes Walking Dead #49 special? Am I missing something? I have it so thank goodness Nothing in the story. It was the issue right after the 8th trade which was the exciting ending of the huge prison arc. Since many people followed that story, they switched over to singles to pick up where the 8th trade left of. The number of regular issues put out stayed the same while the number of monthly readers increased. Therefore, demand on that issue bumped up while supply was the same as previous singles.

400yrs Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Holy mess. These are going for $50 now. Wow. What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainnball Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 CGC 9.8's selling at $215 is what happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400yrs Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) True, but a few copies sold before that slabbed copy at $50. I'm sure that seeing that 9.8 out there listed at 300 helped though. Edited June 22, 2009 by 400yrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-DONIS Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I got the only raw copy at Heores Con...a 9.8 contendor for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I got the only raw copy at Heores Con. That wasn't the only one. I got 2 copies at the con also. Both are high grades. Bought from the same place. One on Saturday and one on Sunday. Probably had more hid away but they only put one out at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50 Cent #II (1st) Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Just got back from a LCS, asked if they had any Chew #1 left, guy behind the counter is reading the last copy and lets me buy it. Owner said they will be getting more in this or next week though. Then went to another shop not far and the owner there said they were sold out but had a few more on order and that Diamond wasn't sold out (and it's not a 2nd printing) and he would be getting them in this Wednesday or next (he's putting two aside for me). So I'm a bit shocked to see the prices these are going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new 48-issue omnibus book came out a couple weeks ago, so users that weren't sucked in the first 5 years got a chance to get it all in one go and 49 becomes the target floppy again.

So I'm a bit shocked to see the prices these are going for. I am 99.9% sure it is sold out and that it is the 2nd print. I asked the day after they came out and 3 LCS all said it was sold out and they couldn't get anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffreykli Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 It probably depends on when they submitted the reorder...if it was within the last couple of weeks, it's been sold out at Diamond. The second print doesn't ship until next week, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
