Can't wait to get my scan and upload a pic here. My TMNT #1 finally came in graded a 7.5 from CGC. Turned right around and sent it off to Joey to get pressed and regraded. I'm hoping it can get bumped to an 8.0 or higher.

You should call for the graders notes if your friend isn't local. I see a lot of dents that don't break color on that 7.5. If you're into the crack, press, resub game this could be an attractive copy to gamble on. And it clearly looks like a 1st print to me from the scan. But since it's your friends book you should be able to hold the book in hand and look for that black spot above Mikey's head and get a better look at the non-color breaking creases. Sadly no, I can't hold the book in hand. I'm in Alabama and my friend is in Utah. It's also the only scans I have. Sorry, I'm not new to collecting game but am to CGC and their grading processes. Are you saying the book might grade higher or lower if I resubmitted it?

Thanks for your quick reply! It's actually a buddies that I'm thinking of purchasing. He wants $1650 for it. Thinking of pulling the trigger.

Hey guys, new member here. Been collecting for a long time now. I was wondering if any of your expertise could help determine if these scans were of a 1st print or 2nd print? Any help is greatly appreciated!
