It looks like this book wanted to go up in value on eBay U.S., but one big seller has 93 copies still available and priced at 1.99 ea. One big seller can hold a book back, I guess.

The Walking Dead is smoking hot moreso than ever. #1 raw is selling between $300 to damn near $500.

The first Omnibus is selling for $300 again.

Did you put it up?

I'd be afraid I'd regret selling it. I only regret one book I've sold. It's not the Bloodshot Platinum. It's not the copies of fan projects that I passed on for less than I paid. It's not the 9 copies of Chew 1 that I sold for between $3 and $60 when they are now selling higher.

The only book I regret selling is my slabbed 9.8 copy of TWD #1 black label. I sold it years ago for $300 when the raw copies were selling for $80. The $300 was waaaaay above what any other copies had done at the time. I paid $50 for it already slabbed.

I took the cash and bought a raw copy white label for $80 and pocketed over $100. At the time, I was happy. Now, I wish I had that book back. Not because it would sell for nearly 1K, but because it's so damn hard to find.

This omni would be the same situation for me. I doubt it will ever dip below $200 and I know I'd want it again in the future. I don't know what the print is on it, but I know it's pretty dang small.

There are alot of the second omni out there. The people who bought that one will probably buy the third which is coming out later this year. Guess which one is the smallest print run? #1. Those people will continue fighting over copies to get their omni sets together.

Are you sure you are thinking of the right book?

This is the slipcase of issues 1-24, not the Compendium, not the HC. I doubt these made it to bookstores. If so, I'd be very surprised if any were still out there. If it's the first Omni, get it. The second one, leave it.

superman-prime · Post by **superman-prime** » Wed Sep 01, 2010 10:27 pm

i have seen a 1 - 24 out there before but it was a second print

ummmmm. Are you sure?

I don't think this was ever taken to a second print (which is why it is so tough to find). Last I heard, Kirkman said it would never be reprinted because "those are for collectors".

Of course, he also said that the Compendium would never be reprinted (I doubted that one because of the format), but it's now in a third printing. Impressive for a $60 funny book.

Can anyone confirm that there is a second print of the Omni?

I think I might be mistaken. However, I have seen the slipcase of 1-24. I will doublecheck next time I'm out there and get back to you on what it is/was.

It should look like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Walking-Dead-Omnibu ... 3a5e27c56e

I would expect it to be shrink wrapped, but if it's not, definitely look in the indicia to see the printing. If it's a first print, it will say "First Printing" as I just checked mine...... which is odd, because I wouldn't expect it to say anything if he never plans to reprint it. If he reprints this, that's going to chap my *SQUEE*.

If it's a green background instead of red, that's the second one and it sells less than cover.

Oh yeah. I guess that would do it too. The cover doesn't hurt though.

I did not put it up. I am still thinking about it. Like you said I am sure I would regret selling it and want it back. I keep looking at completed listings on ebay and they are going for $300ish, and for that price I would rather keep it.

Also, there are no second printings of TWD Omnibus's. There were just 150 signed and I want to say 1000 to 1500 printed of the first one. I can't be sure about that number, but I think I read that somewhere. I know there were 300 signed of the second omnibus and I pretty sure 3000 printed.
