I didn't think it would fall in grade so I didn't order a press. Same thing happened to a couple of other books from the same signing. The whole process just takes such a long time that I don't want to send them anywhere for 6+ months to maybe get the same grade back. Besides, I am not sure how much longer I will hold on to the collection...today's prices are just too tempting.

1 x #2 3rd print 9.8 in 2021 for $1175. Last sale was in Dec at $549. No yellow labels recorded as sold. This one leaves a bitter taste for me as my 9.8 downgraded to a 9.6 when I had it signed back in 2014. The 9.6 goes for less than a third of the 9.8...

9 x #2 2nd print 9.8's in 2021 so far. Last Sale was yesterday at $895 but it reached $1035 on Apr 13 no yellow label sales this year, last one in Dec ($780) and there were only 3 in the last 12 months

It's been a few quiet months with no sales of #2 in these grades: TMNT #2 CGC 9.8 SS Eastman $6800 April 29 (last sale Dec 10 $3360) TMNT #2 CGC 9.8 blue label (signed eastman/laird) $4884 April 15 (no previous sales) TMNT #2 CGC 9.8 blue label $3900 April 1st (last sale dec 11 $3500) ...a small bump for universal grade and a big one for yellow label. blue label signed continues to hold a premium...

I'm sure! Good luck, I hope you set a new record with this one

sold for $5040 incl bp... I'd say that's a steal

Raphael at $4k ($4800 with bp) with 1 day left

A few interesting auctions on HA ending in 3 days: Raphael CGC 9.8 SS Eastman TMNT #2 CGC 9.6 TMNT #4 2nd Print CGC 9.6 Manufacturing Error Any speculations on the hammer prices?

There's no 'make offer' option either... Based on my mathematical and computational skills (on par with my 8 yr old) I would put the value of $3750-$4250 on this one for this week. Next week it will change as we have seen prices do on a weekly basis since November 2020...

Hopefully somebody can inform the rest of us. They will be in the hundreds of thousands arena to be sure...

It can be tricky navigating all the versions

It's a 2nd Print #2 and this sale is better than the 90 day average of $441 1st print number 2 in 9.6 has a 90 day average of $1800 ...and oh yes, April and her open jumpsuit always made me smile

We should also dissect the printing versions of #1 for the speculation benefit of those about to plunge into purchasing these books: There are 4 versions: 2 in USA (direct/newstand), 2 in Canada (direct/newstand). Direct ratio to newstand ratio is 10 to 1 in both countries USA to Canada ratio is 10 to 1 so in order of rarity these are the standings: #1 Canada newstand #2 USA newstand/Canada direct (these should be on parity) #3 USA direct If I have my numbers wrong somebody please correct...

I thought we had established their first appearances were in issue #2... aren't they only in human form in #1? To be honest the advent of this issue harked the end of my TMNT collecting back in the day. At this point the regular series was no longer drawn by Eastman/Laird (really big turn off for me) and I disliked the art/story in TMNT Adventures. I held on a couple more issues and then stopped looking at them completely.

Well I hope you guys don't go and bid this one up...This is the legit 1st issue of Tales of TMNT
