yes, really good. There hasn't been a 9.4 sold for some time (at least reported) this is also going to start pushing up 2nd prints as they pick up the slack...

very nice. The batman #1 in the background is a nice tease...

All the original oversize editions were printed on newsprint style paper. The original print company was not a comic printing business but rather local newspapers and flyers etc... that's why it is hard to find white pages. #5 and later were printed by a comic book printing company once their budget increased as Adamantium suggested.

You must be in the wrong forum. Crypto chat is elsewhere down the corridor at room 12...

yup, there it is...wow! thanks for posting the link

Sorry to keep focusing on your posts...nothing personal I'm looking for a reason that 2nd print would be over $20k but can't find one at the moment. The last few sales of 9.6 (without double cover) were around $7k which would put 9.8's between $14k and $18k imo. Trust me, I would love it to be way higher but we have to be reasonable. The sale of the double cover on April is an outlier, just like the 9.4 SS 1st print that went for $45k. The buyer wanted that/those copies regardless of what it ended up costing. what is clear is that standard copies' prices are strong but not that strong.

It's very possible... The demand is so high and the supply so low that mid/low grades have lots of wiggle room. Let me say this: TMNT #1 is no ASM 300/IH 181 where there are 10's of thousands of copies graded for each and many more ungraded. There are literally only 3000 (+300) copies of the most important/popular book since the 1980's...the potential far outstrips any downside.

I've been looking around trying to source this sale of 10 large to no avail. Have you got a link? ComicTom is not a reliable source and any information shared by him should be heavily scrutinized... The highest sale I can see in the real world is $5500 on April 8 but I may not be seeing all the info cheers

Those are some sweet books I love the #1 second printing, and #2 with white pages is harder to find these days. The backstory and direct connection to Peter is the icing...

TMNT #1 on Ha.com $31,200 for a 9.0

Wttb! I'd be careful getting these graded thinking that you'll make a profit. If the grades come back anything less than a 9.8 you'll likely not get your money back. I see a few spine ticks and spine rolls in there. The Groo Special will have to be at least a 9.6 to make it worthwhile. It's sad but true... One day the market will see these as something special but until then we'll have to settle back and eat our cheese dip.

very nice! I especially like the #2...

Have you got any links for these? I hadn't seen a 9.8 2nd print up for sale anywhere and gpa has no record of these...thx

Well its about time!!

The price growth rate has definitely slowed, it was racing upwards for 6 months straight. I don't think prices are coming down any time soon but growth can't at that rate forever.

for all three bought individually on the bay, on that day...

Have a look at this ridicculus 9.8 set: registry top set

are you looking for a specific issue?

the #1,2,4 individually on the 'bay' would run you $2500 + shipping (3 shipping costs) The PGX #3 is worth the same as a raw, imo, if it's even a 9.4. The rest of the run individually would take time and energy + lots of shipping. Are you looking for nm copies? or are you looking for subbing candidates?

cool sigs!

Just checking in now and am not surprised with the results. A little sniping would have been more fun. There's definitely a premium for interior sigs from way back when. Does this impact prices on #2 at all?

wttb!

Destroyer Duck #1 in cgc 9.8 is averaging $500 a sale these days... I would say this is still vastly undervalued.

Agreed, I've been hodling these for many years believing his break will come. Back when Groo comics first came out they were hugely successful and commanded a premium. Over the years that premium has given way to dollar box prices with the exception of 9.8 graded books. I hope they have their day, Groo is one of the more entertaining reads (albeit a little repetitive) and a welcome break from superheroes.

WTTB! How did that ever get a 9.6??? definitely buyer beware.
