  1. I haven't seen a Gem Mint 10 Thread in my days on the forum so thought I would share mine and see if others wanted to showcase as well! TMNT: The Last Ronin #1 IDW Publishing 10/20 Signed & Sketch by Ryan G. Browne on 1/22/22 Very Gary Comics Edition
  2. No response on previous information above. I recently sold the following books I had pressed and graded at auction/Buy It Now on Ebay to recoup some $$$ building out my quest in volume 1. Avid buyer, first time seller. Overall pleased with the process however Ebay DOES eat into profits considerably. Here were the results: Purchased entire vol.1 set + extras on September. 21, 2021 for $3,450 of which had the following four comics graded and press for around $750 (WALKTHRU) if memory serves correctly. (Included in the walkthru: raph #1 cgc 8.0 and figitoid #1 9.2? which I haven't tried to sell.) TMNT #1 3rd print 9.6 - Sold $2012.00 yesterday TMNT #2 1st print 9.8 - Sold $2000.00 Aug 4 TMNT #3 1st print 9.6 - Sold $500.00 July 14th TMNT #4 1st print 9.8 - Sold $700 July 30th Total costs - $4200.00 (including initial purchase of #5-62 but excluding their pending pressing and grading (incl. all the various vol.1 prints 2-62 + minis leo, raph, don, mich, fugitoid, keys) Four books sold total $5012.00 giving a profit on roughly $1,200 with 80 books still at CGC. Any advice on best selling practices would be appreciated. InSummary: Current state of the market (Ebay specific) using Auction and Buy it Now.

First year here, so will continue to build out on registry, Worked pretty hard on my first registry, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vol 1 set to add the 90+ images and descriptions and have the highest completion % at 98% missing only the #1 First Print. https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/comics/PeopleSetDetail.aspx?PeopleSetID=152171 Just going to have to work harder to take the top award!

  9. I received a refused parcel from USPS stating the Sarosota CGC person refused acceptance due to a crushed corner on the box. So I have the comics that were missing less postage fees.
  10. Is CGC providing a witness for grading purposes?

  14. From USPS website - Tracking History May 26, 2022, 2:48 pm Delivered, Individual Picked Up at Post Office SARASOTA, FL 34230 Your item was picked up at the post office at 2:48 pm on May 26, 2022 in SARASOTA, FL 34230. ..... It shows receipt. Just need to find the box with the TMNT magazines I would imagine.
  15. It may have been 9505513358662143069829 of the ones above as the box was 18x14x8 which would compliment the magazine size. When I enter it into CGC tracking I don't get any response.
  16. I do not believe I wrote ST on the box unfortunately looking at the packing slip.
  17. The Magazine order contained: One TMNT #1 Sixth Print 8/92 One TMNT #3 1985 Two TMNT #4 1985 One TMNT #1 Anniversary Edition 5/19
  18. Tracking Numbers for the above include the following: 9505 5133 5868 2143 8009 32 9505 5133 5868 2143 8009 49 9505 5133 5868 2143 8009 56 9505 5133 5868 2143 8009 63 9505 5133 5866 2143 0698 12 9505 5133 5866 2143 0698 29

  20. A conceptual comic book, Conceptual Funnies #1 by Robert Venditti and Tomas Giorello, a comic book that did not exist. It was an "invisible edition" made of stapled transparent acetate sheets. And yet it had been slabbed by CGC, in a variety of grades. This should had signaled the top
