"CGC can be a hassle." Says the seller hiding something...
Best guess it would top out at a 5; maybe could press higher.
I would really worry about color touch...
It's not just that, I don't think that book is a first print is it?
Logo blood is correct
Cover color is correct
GG ad in the back
address is correct
no evident bleaching on the inside front cover
Nothing to lead me to believe it's not a first print.
I agree, but what is the slight black strip on inside front cover. Could that possibly be bleed through from color touch. I know the paper is thicker, so I'm curious. It may just be a shadow.
I think it's ink transfer from page one. I do not think it's color touch because the front cover (behind the suspected ink transfer) is red and white art.
Btw, I finally saw the TMNT movie and loved it. I went in with no expectations and the mindset this was made for the next generation of fans.
I look forward to the next 30 years of the green guys.
