The Walking Dead - Issue #1 page 12

[Dustin the Bold-migration]

I love this page, and regardless of monetary needs I've resisted putting this up for sale for years now. Long story short, we need some money so I would really appreciate any estimates for what price range I should be asking. I bought from Tony and Kara back in early 2005. I've been researching what his art sells for and am at somewhat of a loss.

 

No rush, just would like to sell it in not too far off future. If anyone's interested please PM me. I'm considering putting it on ebay with a reserve, but I already despise the idea of selling it so not sure if that's a good idea. Thanks in advance for any help/advice/info.

A very nice page, Moore did great work on this first arc.

[Dustin the Bold-migration]

Yes, he is an amazing artist. The page has incredible detail and emotion that work together, like most of his TWD work.

 

I'm still looking for a fair price to set for it. I apologize for my lack of preparedness but I wasn't sure how to go about moving the page. I should have a better idea of an exact figure in the next couple of days. Thank you everyone for the interest so far.

Dustin,

 

It is best to post values being quoted to you via PM to ensure you have the best feedback.

I haven't been given any exact values yet. However, I've gotten some nice general advice in terms of where to research. One person suggested I check out Adlard's prices for his work. I don't really think they are comparable considering this is from the first issue and Adlard is still making new pages each month. Tony's pages seem to go for a lot more. There are obviously arguments for and against this, but I'm not really here to argue.

 

I'll put up a reasonable price soon and maybe have people leave offers here for a few days or one week (some set time span) so everyone can get a shot at it and noone will accuse me of making up offers.

I wouldn't compare that page to a similar Adlard page. It defintiely gets a bump for being a Moore page and a first issue page. That said, the lack of zombies will keep the value down a little.

 

It's cool of you to offer it up on the boards first, but this is the kind of page I'd put on ebay with no reserve/no minimum and let it run. I like to gamble though...

Dustin--

 

Tony's art rep had sent me a list of the pages they had left from issue #1. The prices were in the 700 neighborhood even without Zombies. This was about 6 months ago however.

 

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the heads up. I also remember a while ago that they price them as high as possible to prevent people from turning around and reselling them. That being said, it's still a great page. I would be overjoyed to get that for it, but I'd guess a bit less would be more realistic.

After speaking with a lot of people I came to the decision to post it on Ebay. I apologize if this scares off any potential buyers but I wanted to reach as many people as possible. While everyone I've met on here is trustworthy, I can't expect people from Kirkman's boards to register here to make offers nor can I expect people at CAF to do likewise.

 

It's a 5 day listing, ending on Sunday the 17th. There is no reserve and shipping (with insurance) is free for domestic buyers. International isn't free unfortunately but I discounted it.

 

Thanks for everyone's information and patience thus far.

oh yeah, here's the link:

Don't apologize. I think that was the right thing to do.

[Dustin the Bold-migration]

Thanks for the nice wishes and comments

A little late to the dance here, but I paid $600 for this page (with zombie) about 2.5 years ago. No idea what the current market is like.

 

[Dustin the Bold-migration]

nice page!
