It all started with somebody posting a picture of The Walking Dead #35 (the first appearance of The Governor, which will mean nothing to you unless you've seen the show or read the comics) and I thought "Oh I have that issue! Wonder what it's worth?" and then finding out that this person who had posted the picture was asking $250 for it!
Mind you , that's the *slabbed* price - Professionally graded and then sealed in thick protective plastic casing by the CGC so it can never be actually touched ever again, which increases value dramatically.
So I rushed to the storage unit to dig through my comics and see what Walking Dead issues I could find, considering that I was an avid collector of the comic starting at issue number one all the way through issue number fifty. After a day of searching where I found an average of one issue per box i searched (because at the time I was just buying comics and then tossing them in boxes for the storage unit once they were read), I came away with 21 different issues including pretty much every key issue (first Michone, first Governor, etc) and a water-damaged first-print copy of issue #2.
This means the rest of the run is still in there, waiting to be uncovered :/
But no time for that now! I need to find a buyer! I have some money squirreled away for Comic Con next week, sure... but it would be great to go in with ALL THE MONEY.
