The Walking Dead #1 Club

Had to prod the thread in CG

Still there does seem to be quite a drop off in prices - $1700 for a 9.8 is a $400 drop at least according to GPA...

NICE!

I'm a buyer at these prices.

Maybe buy back the 9.8's and 9.6's I sold - but will they rise again, or will it just have a 'dead cat bounce'?

This could be very interesting, especially if a glut hit the market.

[MediumLover]

I agree, very interesting to watch.

 

I had been monitoring the market closely, but now my focus is on SDCC.

Here's a little bounce.

Happens every year. They'll be back up to 2k once the show picks up again.

Those were my thoughts, Bjorn. Prices dropped last summer, too. But I dont think it was by this much.

[Giroux]

I think i'll be joining the club soon enough with prices like these...I should pulled the trigger on that 9.6 for 1k yesterday

Where??

 

Huh?

 

The raws going for $600-800

Oh, that was suppose to be 700, not 600...my bad!!! Yea the one ended yesterday at 710

[bffnut]

Here is a neat little chart on 9.8 sales. You'll see the trend this year is different than last. While there was a brief lull in prices, the overall trend was an increase in prices last year, thru both the last part of season two and the first half of season three. This year, your looking at the price bouncing around a range for the last half of season three, then dropping during the summer.

 

The vertical axis is the price percentage change since the beginning of the year, and horizontal tracks the time in the year. Sorry I could get excel to show the actual date instead of some numerical conversion.

Great stuff!

That example was after your post and had some problems with the issue. You implied high grade copies selling for $600-800. Even at $700-800 where are you finding these?

eBay sellers have a very difficult time properly self grading their own books

[bffnut]

Yes, I should have put quotes around the grades. I saw a guy listing 9.9 raws...we'll see about that.

"Mint" is a VERY popular word on eBay with both comic and card sellers

Thanks! Seems I missed a couple. I personally don't count BIN's but there are a couple nice examples of deals here.

NP! I actually left out the BINs, because they skew data and do not reflect market demand. The one that ended for $600 actually only had one bidder.

 

If I were to include BINs, I would have included this one that ended for $2.00!! The seller has 8 ratings, 83.3% and hidden feedback. I'm guessing the sale was not completed.
