Popular Post Jayman Posted January 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2022 Even Scream 11 gets put in this category. Cover seems ok and not too hard to find in nice shape with not too many solid blacks, but… Try to find one with a pristine back cover, that’s the stickler on this book! bounty_coder, This is Who We Are, batmiesta and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice, and a reminder that with Skywalds, the black covers are tough and the white covers can be tougher!

Why are there so few graded copies of Skywalds? Seems people slab all sorts of common comics with little sense, yet barely ever find a slabbed copy 🤷🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore not always worth getting slabbed. Is anyone able to check the census? batmiesta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The covers are crazy cool- even when they are in VF condition. Guess I’ll just buck the trend and send my nicer copies in to slab. I averaged about $18 per issue on a recent purchase of 19 issues- so adding an additional $40 for slabbing a copy puts it at $58 per issue. Still seems crazy cheap. 🤷🏻 Jayman and jimjum12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Dowling Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Here's a snapshot of Psycho on the current census. Couldn't quite get the last couple issues in one shot and keep it legible but you get the idea. jimjum12 and Jayman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
