I need the CGC Grade # by Thursday for the Registry... lets work some magic this week! CGC2151375993 4072300 5/27/22 1 450 WALKTHRU CCS in Process

Last Ronin ReMarque and Signing Status - making some progress today! Hoping it keeps the 9.8 grade... 2/25/22 1 400 In house Signing Magazine Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging

Only reason I submitted walkthru was to get the 2007 TMNT #1 graded prior to close of registry July 1st... going to be close... not sure why its taking so long.

Awesome! End of day, it's fun to "speculate" especially on something so cool as the OG TMNT runs in the early days. Would be neat to get the real story from K. E.! Thanks JB!

Thank you! Its been a really fun journey to say the least!

I put credits in the beginning but here's the link to the YouTube video. Thanks for the information. I'm going to continue to see if I can get in touch with Mr Klein and see if he would share the letter in pdf for the group.

I recently obtained a TMNT #3 Variant and went down a rabbit hole filled with some great information. I was also shocked by the GoCollect Fair Market Value listing for this very hard to find variant. See below. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #3 Variant Cover "Laird's Photo" - Credit @AutomaticComics 50,000 copies of #3 300 copies of #3 Variant NOT 500! New York City Comic Con - Incorrect - There was NOT a NYCC at the time, as it was Creation Con. Lawrence Klein - "The #1 TMNT Fan! ~ Kevin Eastman" Mr. Klein wrote a letter, published in issue #3. Kevin Eastman wrote a letter in return with three copies of the #3 variant to Mr. Klein where he states he pushed for 300 copies for the New Hampshire Comic "Hey got a surprise and special gift. As you noticed there are three books enclosed, three copies of #3. Hooray! Why are these special? Because we pushed the printer into giving of 300 books early so we could have some to take to the New Hampshire Convention. I mean we won't even be shipping these books for another three weeks. I want you to get these to you as soon as possible. Anything for our #1 fan. Take care Larry, I hope you enjoy the books and I would like to hear what you think of them. Best Wishes, Kevin Eastman Summary 300 total copies NOT 500 Printed for the New Hampshire Convention NOT NYCC

TMNT's 40th Anniversary is just around the corner in 24'. There is a movie in the works I believe. I'm slowly starting to see movements in the 150+ books for the Mirage Studios volume #1 I've submitted. Hoping to move these books around 24' as we, fingers crossed, come out of the recession. Usually a year and a half timeframe although this one feels a tad different. Any ways, started with the turtles in 84' at 7 may as well ride out with them into the unknown and look forward to a 40th Anniversary party somewhere. Surely they'll have one!

Excited to see this in reviewing sales this week on Ebay. I've purchase from comicanuck TMNT #43 & #37 in 9.8 and seems to be a nice enough guy. His sales though are outliers to the standard prices the last month or so... Maybe he roped in a customer looking to complete a quest similar to myself in February and March... Either way I have four #16s I believe at CGC that should get 9.4 - 9.8s after press and grading... Sold May 23, 2022Sold Item Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #16 CGC 9.6 NM+ WP Mirage GRAIL!

This is the way…

As someone who has cofounded and exited a few crypto financial companies on the payments side, I agree with your take. Markets consolidate and volatility in collectibles will always be present.

I threw a couple bids in and am currently winning at $26k... I expect we will see it double and perhaps even triple current bid price this time next week. Very nice book!

$160k plus buyers premium for a 9.8 1st Print. Looks like prices are coming back down a bit.

Its requiring a signature selection even when choosing mail in or show drop off. The browser is Brave in case that matters. Thanks.

Just a heads up when I try to submit a new submission form it is requiring a signature selection. I don't see not applicable in the drop down. Thanks, Bdubs

D'oh! Thanks, apologies.

Greetings everyone, As the title suggests, I continue my quest looking for a CGC copy of the GameStop TMNT #1 Variant. I'm just a couple books away from completion and this has been a difficult one to obtain! https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/comics/PeopleSetDetail.aspx?PeopleSetID=152171&SelectedTab=SetListing Thanks, Bdubs
