bhagen61 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Hello fellow collectors, Not sure if I am posting in the right area or not but hear goes nothing. My local comic book store has released a Walking Dead #1 issue. The book looks exactly as it did when it was first released the only exception is it has the logo of the local comic book shop in the window. I know its never going to get what the original first print got, but does anyone think it would be worth grading it?

cbalroman Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Depends on your reason for wanting to get it graded.... If its because you like the book, it has you LCS stamp on it, and it for your personal collection...sure If its because you think you can flip it for mad money...pass bhagen61 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pic of comic attached I'm a big fan of these covers Sidenote - there are like 150+ store versions (along with a retail copy) of this cover - all of which have different logos in the broken window. It's a cool cover but not necessarily high dollar investment long term as it's technically a reprint. However, there are limited copies of each one so if you could get a handful and store them away there will be some completist collectors down the road who will want them (so store them well and just be patient).

I never thought of that. But would you spend the money to get em graded or wait until you got 5 to 10 stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to get them graded immediately I would sell them immediately but I would just hold on to about 5 or so copies of each store copy that you get and just hang on to them. If you're in no hurry to sell them just keep them raw for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
