Oh, I was talking Invincible ... the Walking Dead ship has definitely sailed.

It appears to be on a bit of an uptick. This book is constantly up and down, but the encouraging thing is that the "lows" gradually get higher as time goes on.

walking dead is like the dow up down but over the long haul always higher

I have not seen much low as of late. I'm sure it will level out a bit, it will have to.

[superman-prime]

the early 15 or so have extreamly low print runs and the show helps it out ive heard #1 could be below 10k and how many made it a year after release ?

Mycomicshop has issue 2 for 8.49, and is out of the other three. Mlle High only has the first issue, and it's at 5.80 in fine condition. I could see this being a semi-key run. Good find, VS!

Isn't it the promo issue thats pushing that lot up?

[StarBrand]

Could be. There's a promo issue on eBay auction style right now. Plus, there are no 3s or 4s on eBay, And Mile High and mycomicshop don't have 3 or 4 in stock either, so it's hard to say.

I guess these Harvey comics went straight to newstands and only fine copies turn up on ebay. It's hard finding any of them in high grade. My set took awhile to complete. They look kind of newstand handled.

Hey VikingSpawn,
What other Harveys are out there similar to the Back To The Future books in scarcity if in high grade?

Hey VikingSpawn,

No idea about any of the other Harveys. But the current Back to the Future lot shot up to $41 now:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 655wt_1185" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I think I paid about $10 average per issue to complete a full set. There was another 3 issue mini series after this one too.

Who the heck is paying these prices? I've been pulling these books out of bargain boxes.

[400yrs]

Ummmmmm......... I set the price on this book so ridiculously high because I didn't really want to sell it.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/200697764839?ss ... 1559.l2649


On this book, I've owned many copies. It has ALWAYS sold no matter where I set the price. Seriously. When they were selling for $20, I'd set the price on my copy at $40 and they would sell. When they were going for $40, I'd set my price at $75. Sale!

After my sale at $75, I saw all the prices jump up to that level so I put this copy up at $150 thinking there was no way it would sell. Then, I saw the price creeping very close to $100 about two weeks ago and very few, if any, copies out there so I moved this up to $170 thinking it wouldn't sell. However, I got busy with work and haven't checked since then. It must've been the only raw up and it just sold.

I'm down to my two personal copies now.

FYI, I believe #27 will do this as well eventually, but on a much smaller scale.

WOW! Just when you think TWD tops out....

Thing fans bid hard on complete sets. I sold the tpb for $175 awhile ago. Fans go rabid for it.

[Elveen]

I don't think we are anywhere near the top.

But the thing is it is an ebay market. There are pretty much zero WD books in So Cal. and imagine all the comic shops, I've been to like 20 (at least) Pretty much nothing early.

Congrats. I'm holding on to my copies for a bit.

Yeah, I wanted to hang on to that one until she showed up on the show.

How many do you have left?
