Personally I prefer the number 1’s without the yellow label, looks cleaner and, imo, better... but it boils down to what you like

I’m a bit confused by this slab: https://www.ebay.com/itm/TEENAGE-MUTANT-NINJA-TURTLES-1-CGC-9-2-WHITE-PAGES-1988-STREET-COLLECTORS-EDIT/382412562891?hash=item590990a1cb:g:6poAAOSw2cVarCa- is this an error? I thought the street collectors edition was a mini comic included in the fan club kit from 1988...

Below are some more Turner sigs... if i'm not mistaken the silver foil 21 and 2nd print 22 are the others that remain to be seen... shout out to OV for selling me that sweet renegar

I have been on the lookout for Michael Turner signed gijoe books for a long time. There are quite a few CGC graded SS copies of the Renegar variant but none of the later issues (#33 foil and non foil excepted). I have been able to find the ones below but am not sure if Turner signed any others. Please post a pic if you have one. I am especially interested in finding a silver foil #21 (non-graded) one if it even exists...

Congrats on winning the 9.6!

Last time I had a reliable tally it was somewhere around 2000 raw and 120 cgc slabs...

Thats a lot of books for sale... very tempting indeed....

Hello Fellow Turtle fans! It's been a while since I posted and even longer since I posted anything meaningful (if that ever even happened) so I thought it might be fun to throw these ones back out on the 'internets'. I had originally posted them back in 2014 but since then photophucket went all fubar and so did all my linked photos (as you all have likely experienced). Not as pretty as looking at them from the front but how I see them in their storage boxes: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prints of #1: I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I do...

whoa +1

If you got that book in 1989-1990 it’s probably a 3rd print and they would have been promoting the movie at that time.Someone who collects movie posters may find it interesting but personally I don’t like folded posters. wttb!

Next time eh!

I used Paradise comics for many submissions between 2008 and 2014. A year was the longest I had to wait and 6 months was probably the shortest. The longest wait was usually due to a signature series but there was no rhyme or reason to it. I had been told at one point that the slabs are returned from CGC when there is enough of them to fill a shipping box and they are not sent as individual orders. This saved Paradise on the shipping for which I was still charged a fee on each book. I stopped using their service when some of my books submitted for SS came back blue label (oops! they forgot to get them signed) and others dropped in grade after being signed (too many for it to be an anomaly). I did however have some great success stories and always enjoyed going to the store to speak with Doug and Peter. It was not an LCS for me as it was a 45 minute drive from Oakville without traffic down the 401. I have not been submitting since 2014 and I have not tried Gotham yet but may soon... I did always get great service from CGC when I contacted them and never called without my order form in hand to make sure the invoice numbers were present. The longest I had to wait for a book was almost 2 years. But that was not a CGC book, rather a book called TMNT Odyssey that was done through Indiegogo. That was a long time and I was sure I would never see my money again. I had to pay more to get it delivered in the end... What can I say, I am Canadian and am in no rush...

Congrats Eric! Sweeeeeet book!

Wow! This is amazing! Congrats

Nice! Is this a hard series to collect? I see them floating around on Ebay but assume there are some that are harder to find than others. Which ones are the htf ones?

Wow! That's awesome. I've never seen all 3 together like that

Eric, I did just hear yesterday that my turtlemania white is coming back 9.8 ss...I believe it will be the only yellow 9.8 on the census...

Not to mention the perils of shipping north of the border.....

You mean me? I love the yellow label, just not sure I love it enough to get a #1 cracked, signed, regraded and then charged a fee based on the value...

Disputes about signatures aside, I'm not sure I have the cahunas to crack any of the slabs...I would be devastated if I dropped a grade. In the mean time I'm quite happy to preserve blue labels for Oruko...although the ink used on the interior pages may spread and leak through the cover, it's on every page, oh the horror!

Wow, I really like the Raphael one (thumbs u

Congrats jaydogrules! Great looking 9.6!
