Just wondering, whats your time frame on this for selling? Gonna go on ebay?

 

Pep,

I would prefer avoiding eBay. I am actually a lot more comfortable here in this community. Dealing with the regulars is easy and low stress. I will give this at least a couple weeks.

 

Time payments available. Commit now and pay over time if that is what's stopping someone from pulling the trigger. :gossip:

 

 

i would do love to do time payments for about 4-5 issues (2, 3, 4...maybe 1), but that's all i'm really interested in. as seen by my sig, i only need a few books to complete my run.

 

X 2

 

I would be interested in 1 or 2 of the first 4 issues. Funds just won't allow me to pull the trigger on the entire set.

 

There are fresh, new copies of the Walking Dead #1-2 on eBay every single week - but how often do you see a full set like this?

 

If I was the OP, I'd give this set another day to marinate here on the boards, and then blow it off to eBay where it would sell in a heartbeat.

 

No disrespect intended towards my fellow boardies, of course :foryou:

Yeah, there have been other full sets on eBay, but they sure don't come along very often.

issue #2 isn't as easy to find as #1, and it's always better to buy from a board member than ebay. my copy of walking dead #4 was listed with pictures as a 9.4 when i bought it on ebay. it's at best a 6.0

+1

Issue 2 is by far the hardest one to find in high grade in my opinion. When you do find one it is usually overpriced.

This is my first raw comic sales thread here on the boards, so let's kick it off in style with a bang: :banana:

 

Offered here is a complete high grade 1st print raw run of the incredibly popular Walking Dead #s 1-62 by Image Comics partner Robert Kirkman.

This is the black and white zombie movie that never ends. Often shocking, never boring, Kirkman frequently leaves us with unexpected cliffhanger endings.

I am not the original owner of these books. Putting together this collection was a labor of comic book collecting love that spanned about 3-4 weeks.

Some books came from Mile High (overpriced and overgraded IMHO), others were from MyComicShop, and the rest came from eBay sellers.

The letter columns are great in these comics also, providing foreshadowing and insight that the graphic novel purchasers are missing out on.

 

I individually graded each of these books. 49 books are in NM- 9.2 or better. Average grade for all 62 books came in at 9.15, but some of the 9.6 copies are undoubtedly 9.8s, so let's say average for the run is NM- 9.2.

The best grade I assigned is 9.6. 9.6 is the maximum I ever assign a raw book of mine for sale, even if it looks flawless.

 

Here is the breakdown by book:

 

9.6 - 16 books

9.4 - 15 books

9.2 - 18 books

9.0 - 7 books

8.5 - 2 books

8.0 - 2 books

6.0 - 1 book

5.5 - 1 book

 

01 - 9.2 - 2 spine ticks, very minor wear BBC, ULFC.

13 - 9.4

14 - 9.2

What kind of grader do I consider myself? CONSERVATIVE! I know, every seller on eBay claims that and 90% are completely clueless when it comes to grading comics. I am primarily a collector and there is nothing worse than getting burned by a terrible overgrade on eBay. I have been there many times like

most of you have, and I wouldn't wish that on anybody. Here is a point of reference on my raw grading:

 

I participated in the "Classics Inc. CGC Grading Contest" earlier this month at Wizard World Chicago. I had to grade 30 books in 30 minutes, then the books were turned over to CGC for grading.

I overgraded only 3 (8.0 mine 7.0 CGC, 6.0 mine 5.5 CGC, 8.5 mine 8.0 CGC) and either was right on or undergraded the other 27 books. So if you consider CGC grading the industry standard, odds are you are getting a conservatively graded (probably undergraded by CGC standards) comic when you buy from me. I was also first place in the contest for predicting page quality. I hereby declare that all of these books have CGC white pages!

 

If someone buys this lot and is not happy with these books for any reason, I will refund all costs including return shipping. I don't expect any disappointment though.

 

The first I'll take it :takeit: wins the lot. PMs are welcome with questions/offers, but don't sleep on this one as I don't expect it to last past the initial BIN.

 

I accept PayPal Personal (please add 3% for regular PayPal), or Check, Money Order both of which must clear before I ship the books.

 

Free Priority bomb proof shipping in the US. I'll need to get a quote for international. Of course all of these books are bagged and boarded.

 

Asking well under my original cost for the books and getting them shipped to me from various sellers:

$650.00

 

 

 

:takeit: per PM

Thanks guys. I regret selling my run last year and have been trying to piece it back together ever since. I still had quite a few holes to fill, so this made it easy. That and the time payments. :cloud9:

:news: Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a ^^

 

Rick, you actually beat CJ to the :takeit: by a matter of moments. He sent me a PM 1 minute after you and I had tentatively agreed to terms.

 

Thanks everyone for participating here and for the kind words about the uniqueness of this full run set. I had a great time reading them, and now its time to pass them on to another collector.

 

Rick, thanks for making my first sale here on the boards a quick success, and I'm sure you will be happy with your buy here. :cloud9:
