So strange! And the 230 on the 9.8 also strange. I think ppl are scared what the Fed will say tomorrow.

Woof. I was so wrong haha. 9.8 stayed at 230k and 9.4 went at 42k. Stock market / turtle market is down I guess. Happy Holidays all!

The countdown is on! 9.8 Blue label is currently at 230k with auction close tomorrow night! With sales of 240k, 245k and 250k at CC in the last few months, will we see a new high? I think so... 9.4 Blue label with interior sigs is at 40k with close tomorrow night as well. Identical book went for 58.5k back in June... Do we think there will be a big close and new high? I'm thinking just short of that at 55k. We'll see

9.8 white pages on comic connect - auction starts 11/22/21 I think after both a 240 and a 245k, the floor is around 150... I'm hoping still for 200+ here... and I think it will get that. There's such a premium on 9.8s. We'll see

What a let down. And also a great buy for someone. There's definitely been a down tick in price lately. I think the explanations above are all factors. I do think the $240k and 245k set a high mark. For those that have one to sell, I think it's worth finding a buyer in that realm rather than going to auction. 88k for 9.6 and 58k for 9.4 are also high marks (both with sigs on inside cover). And now it looks like the new bottom of the market correction is being found. It will be interesting to see what happens with the 9.8 going to auction. It has to be at least 150k I'd think... we'll see.

More 1st print #1s up for sale... Anyone care to guess where these land? New round of price is right 1. 9.4 - white pages - on Comic Connect - ends tomorrow night. 2. 9.6 ow/white pages - on Comic Link - ends in 5 days 3. 9.0 ow/white pages - on Comic Link - ends in 5 days 4. 8.0 white pages - on Comic Link - ends in 5 days 5. 9.2 white pages - SS with sketch by Eastman - on Heritage starting 10/29 6. 9.4 - white pages - sigs on inside cover - in Comic Connect's November Auction

Yeah, the 9.2 did go lower than I expected. And great logic as to the whys from the guys above as well. I'll guess 92k on the Heritage book. If it had the sigs inside I might have taken the over at 100K due to the new 240k mark set. Just because of that I do feel like we're due for a new record at 9.6. We'll see in a few days!

Agreed. Earlier auction end than usual. The 9.6 blue label on Comic Connect back in April went for 88. Had white pages and sigs on inside cover. But after the 240k 9.8 (WOW!), maybe this still goes higher? Who knows? I'm going to say 85k here as my guess on the 9.6. And this 9.2 with white pages and sigs on the inside? Averaging out the 88k 9.6 and the 58k 9.4 with the same characteristics...I'm guessing 40k for the 9.2 at this point. We'll see https://www.comicconnect.com/item/901540

True story! I did underestimate... But so did you my friend

Same auction there were some other interesting data points: TMNT #1 6.5 - $12,700 TMNT #1 7.5 - $16,100 TMNT #3 NYCC Variant 9.6 WP - $8,400 - Sigs on inside. This went higher than the 9.6 SS #3 Variant from Kevin Eastman's Collection recently on Comic Link for $5,532. There's definitely evidence over the last 6 months that sigs on the inside by the creators add a premium.

I guess the sigs mattered! 58.5k is by far a record for a 9.4. And shows that the 88k for the 9.6 WP sigs on inside in April wasn't a fluke. The next time a 9.8 goes to auction it's going to be quite a show. Especially if it has sigs on the inside like these.

I think you're right. And what a beauty that is! Checks all the boxes, really is as good as it gets. That is literally my favorite comic, can't beat it. What do we think the CGC 9.4 #1 on Comic Connect starting in a few days will go for? It has the same sigs on the interior. It's been a while since a 9.4 sold as far as I can tell. I think 50k+ given the 9.6 with sigs at 88. But who knows. Maybe closer to 40 if the sigs don't mean as much.

They must be worth something. That auction on CC was fun to watch. Definitely two bidders going back and forth adding 2 minutes to the clock for like 25 minutes as it passed 50k. This #3 Variant cover CGC 9.6 SS from Kevin Eastman's Collection just went for $5,532. Seems like a steal considering the 9.8 Variant on CC last month! Those OG sigs on inside cover must be very desirable!

You were only off by 30k 🤣 To be fair I don’t think any of us saw 88 coming. But I think it’s great. Turtlemania 🤙🏼🙌🏼

It's wild! I think the same guys that were betting back and forth on the #1 were battling on this one too! More as a contest than anything else?? Haha
