Walking Dead 191-193 CGC 9.8 Better Off Selling Individually or as a Set of 3? 0

[HifiFoFum]

Just got First Prints all CGC 9.8 of the Final 3 Issues (191,192, 193) of The Walking Dead, Rick is Dead Storyline. To make the most money selling these in a few years, am I better off selling them as a set together or individually? What do you recommend will get the largest total revenue? Thanks for your input.

Well there's no guarantee the value is going to shoot up appreciably in a few years, especially if Walking Dead fades from the public consciousness.   Although it helps if you bought them for cover price rather than buying someone elses 9.8s.     My own opinion, w/o any research to back it up, is that individual sales would be better.  You could look at how individual sales vs sets of other high profile books go on Ebay  - e.g. Dark Knight Returns sold individually vs sets of 4

Correct.

The Dark Knight Returns is a different story, though. That's a limited series. TWD isn't/wasn't.

Largest total revenue is selling now and putting all the money in S&P 500 after the next big bad Brexit/China trade war news that tanks the market

You'll find some good advice in this thread:

The only answer is to look at the market when you want to sell and check whether they sell for more individually or as a group.

Luckily for you, you didn't buy at the peak of the hype and stupidity and we're not exactly talking life-changing money here.
