The Tick #1 Special Edition CGC 9.8 and The Tick Orange Ashcan

You got rid of the Beast???? Yes indeed, Joey Gunz owns The Beast now.

I know they have a couple scripts to work from…if I hear about a casting call for background actors I’ll post it up over here! I’m sure they’ll need a lot of ninjas if that part of the story is included! The last show update I saw was that the -script rewrite by Edlund has been turned in to Amazon for review.

Very nice Vic! That is such a great page!

I am completely out of the club, feel free to update the other copy assigned to me as sold.

Congrats on the purchase!

A dusty Tick collection is unacceptable and a direct violation of the membership code. Expect a visit from Tick Protective Services (TPS) to remove the collection from the home. Now where's my TPS uniform.

Why not apply the same logic to AF 15, or TEC 27, Action 1...? What about Hulk 1 or FF 1? It is a ridiculous speculative question whose answer will mirror the preferences stated before. We get it, you sell a lot of NM98s. Congrats! What does that have to do with the value of it long-term relative to the value of TMNT 1 long-term? You provide no other context other than, "I'm special because I sell comics and say so" and "lots of people are buying NM98 right now." Honestly, your points are very arrogant and self-serving. Agreed. That about sums it up. None of my posts are self serving so lets clear that garbage up right now. I call it I see it. I never BS people when it comes to selling my books or anyones else's. Take that Saga #1 RRP variant you have or want to own since I am assuming you enjoy Saga. I have sold 4-6 copies of that book before. The one buyer asked me do I think this is a good book and as he was giving me the money I said honestly no but if it is something you like than who am I to judge. He then asked me to be brutally honest when he asked would it be better to buy this CGC 9.8 or one of your Bat Adv 12 CGC 9.8's. I said probably the Bat 12 which at the time was trading lower in dollar value. Just because I own a book doesn't mean I push it on people. My apologies NWO for not being clear. I was not in agreement with the self serving remark. I would not say that unless it was very clear and I have no reason to believe that is your mission here. You have books to sell, I have no issue with that. NM 98 is an incredibly liquid book right now so you will do well and have no reason to try and pump that book. I have no issues with the book. It's a great book and I'm sure it will do well for quite a while. I just don't see it as going up in value much further, if at all and I just favor TMNT over the two side by side. I do love the series Saga but even myself do no longer own a RRP. I love the artwork on the cover so use it as my avatar. That's all. I can't say if it's a wise investment or not. The series does have a very large following but it is very expensive for such a recent book IMO, even with the print run of 500. I as well would have chose the BA #12 as a recommendation when it was selling for RRP prices.

Deadpool outclasses that book. Same price tag NM 98's would sell much faster. Only reason TMNT #1 is worth that much is of course because of the low print run. I can't agree with any of this. Deadpool is hot right now, that's all. The Ninja Turtles are a global success and have been for decades. You don't have to agree, just know you don't do this for a living so I don't have agree with you either. So you are an expert on the matter because more people ask about books that are very well known to be more affordable than a TMNT #1? Action #1 is pretty popular, how many times are you asked about a price on one of those? Before I humor you why do you think TMNT #1 is vastly worth more than the list below? ASM 300 NM 98 DD 168 WD #1 Bat 12 The obvious smaller print run plays a factor as does the Turtles being a far more common household name than the majority of the characters/books you've listed. That is the only factor. So not sure why people get so defensive about TMNT#1 TMNT #1 is a good book just not a book I would consider now more important than some other copper key books. If TNMT #1 had the same print run as NM 98 and you had them both side by side in CGC 9.8 with similar values you can bet NM 98 would outsell TMNT #1. That is my point. The print run is not the only factor. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are known and loved by many globally and have been for decades. Deadpool is a blip on the screen in comparison. To feel decades of being cherished would be outsold by a trend isn't something I will agree with either. Deadpool was more popular in the comic book world well before the movie. Print run is 110% the only factor. TMNT yes has a couple more terrible POS movies, but Deadpool after this monster move hit (which just passed CAP 2 Winter Solder at the box office) has just started his rise to an A player. Ryan Reynolds did to Deadpool what RDj did to Iron Man. I have no long-term love for either of these characters for my own collection. This is my personal account of dealing these books for the past 10 years. Yes Deadpool was known by many in the comic book world but he was not loved by most until years after his creation. This was not the case with TMNT. Ryan launched a one trick pony that will not hold the attention span past three stand alone movies into mainstream. I am not anti Deadpool. I think he's fun but one demensional and that doesn't last. Dealing with these books only for the last 10 years hardly makes you an expert. You have no history as a dealer and apparently also as a TMNT fan during its rise. Since I am not a comic book dealer how does one advance from what I am doing now to a "real" comic book dealer? I was referring to your lack of experience during the rise of TMNT's.

John are you talking outta your azz again? NM 98 outclasses TMNT #1? I don't know why people have such a hard time admitting that the prices for TMNT #1 are heavily influenced by the low print run and census numbers. John is absolutely right in that if it had similar numbers to NM98 it would sell for much much less. Since the comic comparison isn't possible due to the vast inequity in available copies, look at the movies for a comparison of "demand". The last TMNT grossed just under $500M globally. Deadpool is at $609M and still chugging strong, despite having an R rating which makes it less available to the population than TMNT. Will probably end up somewhere in the $800-900 range. You tell me who is a bigger global success Are you really trying to compare DECADES of success and one hit movie? You keep talking about these DECADES of success but I don't see any data to back up such success. In fact the data suggests that they were a dead property for DECADES (2 at least). You are correct that a movie isn't the sole measure of success but it is a good indicator. What does it say when a movie which is widely available to all to see can only generate $42M? It says very few people gave a rat's behind about the turtles. A successful cartoon you say? What does that mean? 40,000 kids watch it? 100,000? Little kids might like the turtles but they certainly were not part of the general public's consciousness for a long time. Yeah, I'm not one who's ever going to feel the need to go digging for hard data on viewership on a cartoon or how many TMNT figures have sold over the last few decades to prove a point. Just keep in mind that children grow up, and when they do its childhood they embrace throughout their lives. So rather than go back and forth I will agree to disagree. You have your view and I have mine and that's okay.

Happy Birthday!

Deadpool is hot right now, that's all. The Ninja Turtles are a global success and have been for decades. What exactly are you basing this on? They were a hit in the late 80's - early 90's and were dead for years until the last movie revived them a bit. Global success for decades? What data are you using to base this on? At least as far as movie's go (which IMO is a pretty good indicator of popularity) the 3rd movie of the original series was a total flop ($40M gross) and there wasn't another movie made until 2 decades later. That sounds like kind of the opposite of a global success for decades. I am not basing this off of box office success, as that should definitely not be the only factor for a legitimate comparison. My comment was based off of how relevant the Turtles have been since the 80's. How incredibly popular they are with every generation since then through comics, toys, cartoons, etc. Deadpool is a trendy one trick pony. Luckily for the studio they had Ryan for the role because any less of a star actor and the movie most likely does not have the success it's having.
