I have two of these comics i got from the walking dead day in Cynthiana. I was wondering what you all thought they maybe graded at or if was even worth grading. They have both been bagged and boarded since recieved and signed by robert kirkman and tony moore. Any thoughts on what it could sell for graded? |

| If they are anything like the WD #1 2011 Wizard World Con Editions, I suspect $75 raw, $150 Red Label VSP CBCS, each. | ||

| Last ebay sale for this book with double signatures was $250.00. Depending on the grade id say $350-400 is well within the realm of possibilities right now. In the future? Thats a good question. However, usually once I book breaks the $300 range it never drops below that. |

| All sounds great looking to send it for for grading next few weeks I think. Does having the signatures witnessed increase the value once graded vs non witnessed that much? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by BigRig The signatures have to be witnessed by a CBCS authorized witness in order to get a yellow signature label. That being said, Robert Kirkman has a contract with CGC and cannot be witnessed by CBCS. So ALL of his signatures will have the red verified labels. Honestly, I'm not sure if there is a value difference between witnessed and verified labels. There shouldn't be...but that doesn't mean that people won't seek yellow labels more and pay a higher price. |

I was at this and it was really fun! I think these books are worth getting graded if you think they are 9.8 candidates. These aren't the run of the mill convention variants. |

Quote:Originally Posted by rickdod3 Have to say this is news to me and I just went looking to debunk it and couldn't. I've heard of creators working with, promoting, or leaning with one company over the over but to have someone under contract just so your company can be the only ones able to witness? I mean that's kind of sad. Im curious does CBCS have similar deal with anyone? In any case thank Odin for verification haha. |

| How can they stop somebody from witnessing it? You could just say their a family member. That's about as absurd as not bein able to take a picture of Stan Lee as he signs your book. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke True but I will give him this that he has gave back to the community he came from. When the local (Cynthiana) movie theater could no longer show films due to not having a new digital projector he bought them one. Him and his wife also are opening a b&b in Cynthiana soon. He also stayed well past his time slot to give away signatures. He didn't have to but he did it free of charge. Moore did charge if you where not there within the two hr slot for free signatures. That being said meeting Kirkman was like he was almost to good for you as Moore was more of a down to earth type guy. Imo. But I love the drawings by Moore better than any other penciler they have had. |

Quote:Originally Posted by BigRig I met both and Moore is really nice. We talked a bit about how he knows human anatomy to draw the tendons and muscles on some of his zombies, and how he is a MC Front-a-lot fan. Kirkman wasn't rude but just seemed hurried. While I was watching him, someone from CGC came up and dumped a foot high stack of Walking Dead books for him to sign, then he had to sign autographs, his agent or whoever it was, seemed impatient like they had to get to a meeting. I was introduced to him because I had a gift for him and he quickly signed a poster and did a photo op. After that he was whisked away to some other location by three people. I have to agree with on Moore's drawings. I love his zombies, how each is different and the details. When they are biting into someone, he draws the flesh tearing and you can see the muscles underneath. Adlard, has a lot of shadows and seems darker. I get that Moore's art looks a little cartoony but it just had more detail. |

Quote:Originally Posted by FrankCastle129 CBCS Witnesses are required by CBCS policies to identify themselves if asked, they are not permitted to lie in order to circumvent the signing policies of a creator. It would be a smart move if CBCS finds out when his contract with CGC is up and out bid them for a new contract exclusive to CBCS. |

| @The_Watcher Sorry I wasn't trying to be offensive that's why I ironically chose that word. Sorry, was just using slang to display my protested opinion of how Robert Kirkman has an exclusive contract with CGC. I seriously wanted red labels of him with CBCS. But again, apologies for inciting an argument and disobeying forum guidelines. | ||

| I'm researching this. There was a CGC exclusive signing at SDCC, meaning they set up and paid for the signing and therefore they didn't let any competitor witnesses into it. I haven't yet found evidence to back up that Kirkman has an exclusive contract with them. I'll keep looking. | ||

| I just want to set the record straight. I don't think he is exclusive to CGC, I think SDCC was a one time special event sponsored by CGC and thus caused an assumption to be made. Here's a Kirkman yellow label on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-WALKING-DEAD-100-CBCS-SS-9-8-SKETCHED-by-ADLARD-SIGNED-KIRKMAN-not-CGC-2nd-/322065646625?hash=item4afc9bc421:g:XtMAAOSwz2lXBYEm |
