It would be interesting to hear from any boardies attending SDCC as to what wall prices are for WD books.

 

No buzz at all.

 

At least from the books I am selling and/or what I see other dealers have.

 

Only one person so far asked about my Walking Dead 1 CGC 9.8 that is priced $500 dollars cheaper than the dealer across from us who has his prices at $2500 raw lol

 

Last year all day people asked about WD 1 this year only 2 people so far.

 

I am telling you guys season 3 stopped the train on this book.

I wonder if The Hunters arc will be in season four? Obviously the governor will be back but do we really care at this point? He hasn't done anything to make the audience really hate him. Of anything he's been painted more as a sympathetic character on TV. The book he was all "We feed em strangers, stranger."

I disagree completely,

 

He gunned down his entire town of people at the end of last season (except the two henchmen). That's plenty of evil right there.

 

I agree the show got soft last year in areas but it will be back this season in full force...I can feel it.

 

And, I think the Negan All out War story arc is brining people back to the comic...2 issues a month for 7 months...new inker...smart move to garner interest again.

 

The first 48 issues were the best most definitely but I think they are hitting a very cool arc in the story...

 

Call me a speculator if you want but I really feel this comic has longevity.

The question is was the sale actually completed? There have been many falsified sales on eBay that have gained media attention and the like. The 1.2 million dollar video game sale was one (it was never confirmed as completed from all the reports I have seen). Others include a lot of high profile auctions used to generate interest for their respective collecting genres.

 

When I was more active on eBay, I saw a lot of 'manipulative' auction data on video games alone. Don't even get me started on what was occurring in the collectibles markets overall. There is no question in my mind that a lot of high profile price levels seen on eBay are being manipulated for the benefit of a few greedy and ethically challenged individuals. It also surprises me as to how many supposedly 'ethical' sellers and dealers look the other way and refuse to comment on these actions. This is why it is important to view ONLY completed auctions on eBay and use some common sense when reviewing the sold prices in relation to the buyer's history and overall description of the item in question; along with an overall validity of the seller.

 

In conclusion, I am NOT saying that this sale did not take place. I am only asking for more concrete evidence before confirming it as a guaranteed sale. I wonder if GPA will add this auction sale to their site? This particular book in question is very 'hot' right now and it is very possible that this sale is completely legit. I just know to use caution when analyzing these kind of trends as market manipulators are always at work perfecting their craft. For evidence of this just look at the manipulation being done in the precious metals markets. I wonder how all those people who thought the 'sky was falling' and bought gold at $1800 an ounce are doing right now? I really feel sorry for the individuals who sold their financial investments at the bottom of the market crash only to buy precious metals in the heat of a speculative market.

Regardless - there is a $11,500 sale on GPA for a 9.9

 

An extra 3k isn't really that much of a stretch.

If you can afford it obviously!!

I LIKED all three seasons a lot. The part I didn't like was the last part of season three where you know who got bit. I'm sure I'll like season four a lot. Not my favorite show of all time ( 24 is) but it's a great show.
