Avizo Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Hey, this is my first post on here and i'm quite new, anyways i just wanted to ask about a issue i am having being that i collect The Walking Dead single issues and i am finding that brand new without even being opened it gets spine creases, i take immense care and store them as best as possible. Is this something that happens with this series or what .... im dont really know. Anyway any help would be appreciated if possible !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 The comics go from the printer to Diamond. From Diamond to the comic store. From the comic store to the customer. From the customer to another customer, or stored in your box. There are several hands on the book. Spine dings are common. What I find is that WD issues, especially early ones have scuffs on the back covers from being stacked. My suggestion is when you go to the store, look through all the copies and try and choose the best one without spine dings. Avizo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply !! when I had pull lists at multiple shops I found that some shops manhandled their comics more than others, some had a better system of sorting and displaying them that prevented damage but there are sometimes defects that existed on all copies at each store which I have to accept as potentially production or distribution related. if u want a guaranteed 9.8 at all costs, sign up for one of the 9.8 subscription services out there that will get you a graded 9.8 for each new comic. Beachbum on here offers it but not sure he's open to new subscribers for WD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
