help with a possible WD 1 purchase

[HarryRod]

I have a chance to get a copy of WD1 in CGC 9.4 for $900 and i am really on the fence.

I have looked at it and i really believe that it could press to a 9.6 or maybe a 9.8

One small color breaking spine tick (very miniscule), a couple of non color breaking ones and a blunted corner

 

What is everyones thought? Need some input here

I would pass.

buying raws is a delicate thing considering that if you plan on keeping it for yourself or submitting it. Nevertheless, is the price negotiable or is it a firm $900?

[maraxusofkeld]

I could be wrong on this, but since it has a cardstock cover, I am not sure how easily defects would press out of the book.

[HarryRod]

It isnt raw....it is CGC graded 9.4

my bad, that's what i get for multitasking. i would pass.

$900 is below the 90 day average ($1,000) and last sale ($977) and right in line with the 12 month average ($904) per GPA.

 

I'd say, if you want the book and the cost isn't a major issue, you're not going to find a much better deal than that, even if it doesn't press up.

All that said, I'm not sure I'd want to spend that much on a WD 1.

Ditto.

I would buy it, its average price and I highly doubt the prices will fall anytime soon. If you do buy it dont forget to join the club thread!

[HarryRod]

it isnt a "must have" as i already have a copy in 9.6....just something i have seen available and keep in the back of my head...

[WebSlinger]

DO IT, you can never have to many DEAD!!!!!!! Just ask TBPages

[raybowles]

If you have the cash and this is for investment I would get a CGC 9.8 and pass on a 9.4. If this title continues to go up in value you should have a much better rate of return with the 9.8. This of course is just my opinion.

The color breaking spine tick will prevent it from grading more than a 9.6, even with a press.

 

I'm not a Walking Dead guy, so I would never spend that kind of money on that particular book, but if it was a book I really wanted, I would save the money to buy a 9.8. 9.4 moderns are nothing special.

FWIW, GPA disagrees with you. The 90 day, 12 month, and most recent sale data all suggest that 9.4 is where the book really takes off price wise ($1,000+).

pass, you'd be better off to buy it raw, or spend up and get a run raw that includes 1 and a few other keys.

I'm aware of what people are willing to pay for a 9.4, but I still would not pay big money for a modern in that grade. If you're going to buy a slabbed modern, 9.8 is the way to go (with very few exceptions).

What he said

[ThoseBackPages]

is it a Black or White Warning?

[AnthaiHERO]

The color break will hurt you the most on a press and resub. Also the severity of the blunted corner. Some 9.8s have a blunted corner, but it's too much of a risk.
