The Walking Dead Weapons Prices Crush More Than Zombies in Auction

The Walking Dead has been one of the most successful television programs of all-time. Some of the weapons used in this post-apocalypse zombie hit are going to be recognizable for many years to come. As the televised series is expected to become The Walking Dead on the big screen cinema releases, the market for The Walking Dead’s collectibles has expanded far beyond comic books and NFTs.

Goldin has finished an online auction featuring 2022 AMC’s The Walking Dead Auction. Your favorite Walking Dead characters all had key pieces of easily recognizable clothing, accessories and props up for grabs in the Goldin auction. Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, Negan, Carl, Alpha, Carol, Michonne and so on. The event was loaded full of weapons used as set props with final sale prices in the $1,000 to even above $50,000.00 range.

Collectors Dashboard evaluates high-end collectibles as an alternative asset class. Let’s just say that movie props auctioning in the thousands of dollars and tens of thousands of dollars easily fit withing the theme of high-end collectibles.

Here are just the top ten weapons sales from The Walking Dead. Images provided by Goldin.co for this and prices are represented as with buyer’s premium.
