Colicab Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 My wife would flip if I brought home 1000 of the same book. I know we're piling on, but I just can't fathom that'd ever work. You're going all on a hunch that could very well blow up. Even if the book blew up, I just can't see myself paying more than cover considering there's a dude who own's a decent chunk of the print run. Manipulated market. JUST DON'T TELL ME YOU BOUGHT THAT MANY. That is my point. Heh I do this for fun so 10 is more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wushugushu Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Last time I bought 100 of any one issue I wanted to keep 80 of them since ive been following the creators for a while. Honestly it takes the enjoyment out of the hobby of reading/flipping comics for me if i order that many. It is a nice way to buy more awesome comics though!

Colicab Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) That said, if anyone has 100 issues of TWD #1, please PM me. Speaking of that I was talking to one of my LCS owners about TWD #1. He told me a horror story that made me cringe. 10 years ago he ripped the covers off 10 copies and mailed them back to Diamond...

Balham's Finest Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 im cutting my order from 10 to 2. too many people are getting in on this book and i don't want to be like FF or all of those other Hickman books before Manhattan Projects that sucked so bad. Fair points, but remember this isnt a BigBloatedTwo release Image has published other flop books by Hickman. I can't remember the name but it started with T and has a similar cover to Manhattan Project. It blowed hard. When Hickmans on, he's amazing! But when hes off its like "why did we restart Fantastic Four? Why did we kill Johnny Storm, Again?" Red Wing??? Well remembered Sir - Great cover though. Which one has the great cover - Red Wing or East of West? Or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Image Firsts came out with TWD reprint, I snagged a bunch for my wife to do this with them . I mean, how much could a $1 reprint really be worth, right?!?!

I think I read that that is the most sought-after Image First. Didn't see it mentioned in the description, tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hog Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Has to be it. WOW... now since I don't sell the majority of what I collect (outside of moderns) it might be several years before that person knows... Holy cow though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katchoo Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Get it now before they are $200 on eBay. https://www.dynamicforces.com/htmlfiles/p-C120492.html True, but I actually want to see if i like the series before ordering 1-3 in 9.8 per Beachbums policies. Is that 9.8 on DF legit? I wanted to join Beachbum's sub thing but after he asked what books I was interested in he didn't get back to me so I've no idea how the whole thing works, how much it costs (for a UKer) etc as that what I was asking about and no reply. I mean, do you have to pre-order? I'm guessing not since ComicsNYC22 has just said he's waiting until he knows he likes the series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awax Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 It's legit. But it takes 3-4 months to get it after the book is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have to warn you, I ordered 2 bedlam 9.8s off DF for 40 each in october, shipping to me as of today. Be prepared to wait that 4 month turnaround time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
