N/A Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I had the same reaction and the dealer was not impressed. I actually had another conversation where the dealer wanted to sell me WD #1-3 raw. He said he would only sell them for eBay prices and then told me #1 was $1,500. I quickly told him that his price is close to double eBay prices. Listen, there was a WD #1 that sold for $7 k and my copy only has a couple of spine creases. Nobody knew about WD and it caught EVERYONE by surprise so you will see this book go nothing but up from here. I started to explain how many I've seen, graded and sold but stopped. I need to learn to listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclemons Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Well like I was told this weekend " Saga is the next Walking Dead and obviously Walking Dead is going to do nothing but go up over the next 3-5 years at least. That's why my Saga 1 RRP is $300 and my Walking Dead 19 is $500. Both prices are firm. " You aren't thinking big enough. Saga is the next Star Wars.

krighton Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Saga is a space opera, so i could see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll trade Star Wars comics all day long for Walking Dead and Saga. I was being facetious, but the difference would be that the comic book came after the movie and there were over 1 million issues printed of number one. If Saga, and this is a big 'if', goes on to be a sensation that goes mainstream, a RRP of issue #1 with a print run of 500 copies will bring in forehead slapping prices... What do you think the risk/reward price would be for a Saga RRP at this point? Seth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I speculate it's all risk vs reward. I look at historical trends. I have yet to see why the Saga RRP is more than a $25 book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The market has not changed so much in the last two months that prior historical data is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Vaughan said something about not wanting to license it to other media, which I can't blame him for, since Y and Machina have been in development hell for years now.

Statistically, the odds are in your favor that no modern book will ever be highly valued. You will always be 99.9% right from this point in time.

You open with maybe and end with a 99.9% chance that I'm right. You change your mind quicker than my wife. If you agree the philosophy is 99.9% right then why not follow it and save money 99.9% of the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troydivision1 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 So...no one responded over the weekend... Who else filled out and mailed in the survey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N/A Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Seth And that is AWESOME to hear. The nature of the conversation was speculation. What your describing is collecting with a splash of hoarding. I love it! As for YTLM you have just under 3 weeks until you have zero chance of taking over top spot in the registry. When I start a registry set I don't make it possible for someone to take over. Next is Preacher. I would like to see another complete set of YTLM though. LOVE that book. I'm hoping at a shot for a registry award for that set. I just started reading Fables. If the series ends then maybe we can compete in that registry. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
