Countdown begins 🥰🍿 

 

Wow.  66k for the 9.6 #1!  72k for the Turtlemania #1!  and the #3 Variant 9.8 went for 9k.  Was fun to watch these!

New art day! Pumped to have a video game cover in the collection...painted on canvas like a true masterpiece!

And on the toy front, recently welcomed these two troublemakers into the collection as well.

Wow!  That painting is so awesome!  Love it.  Didn't play the Sega game as much as the original NES game.  And I had those exact Bebop and Rocksteady action figures back in the day.  Great memories!

How many times are you gonna post the same post? I think you forgot CGeneral, and the magazine section,  how about the water cooler.

I wasn't really sure where to post.  Sorry to offend.  Not exactly the welcome I was hoping for.

So sorry for your loss. I’m glad your dad is still able to care for you and your mother this way. As to the value of a 9.4 3 lairds photo? Probably around $3500 or so. Shellback has a 9.2 listed at $3000 and it hasn’t gotten a bite. Good luck, it’s one of the books missing for my collection.

Great to know.  Thanks so much!

Hello!  I only recently found this forum.  We lost my Dad last year.  Dementia is a vicious disease.  But I'm here to share our story.  My Dad was a comic dealer and went to comic book conventions and shows and was friendly with the creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Eastman and Laird in the 80's.  He used to see them at the shows and they'd always chat at each other's tables.  Dad had all NM signed first print comics from them, #1-10, many in multiples.  He had a lot of Gold, Silver and Bronze stuff as well.  I inherited my Dad's collection and am reselling most of it with Comic Connect.  But they're difficult to let go of.  I grew up with these stories (I was born in 84), but hadn't gone through his comics with him in 30 years+.  Growing up and loving TMNT, Marvel, X-Men, etc., it was so cool to go through his collection and see everything he had.  Selling these comics is sad, but it is helping my Mom retire.  So I am so very grateful.  I am keeping some of the TMNT 1st prints... they will always be a connection to my Dad.  I miss going to comic shows with Dad and meeting folks that are also passionate about them.  What a great online community.  Glad to be here.  Take care all!

Hello!  First time poster on here.  I inherited my Dad's collection and am reselling most of it with Comic Connect.  My Dad used to go to comic book conventions and shows and was friends with Eastman and Laird in the 80's.  He used to see them at the shows and they'd always chat at each other's tables.  Dad had all signed first print comics from them, #1-10, many in multiples.  I grew up with these stories (I was born in 84), but hadn't gone through his comics with him in 30 years+.  Growing up and loving TMNT, It was so cool to go through his collection and see everything he had.  And I'm just realizing that the value of these comics is a bit crazy.  The TMNT #1 CGC 8.5 is up to $14,600 now!  I can't believe how much these are worth.

I'm pretty new to all of this.  One quick question if anyone can assist.  What is the Variant Cover story with #3?  It says "Laird's Photo" in white on cover.  I can't see the difference between the regular and variant.  And it's hard to figure out what it's really worth.  Here's the action.  Any idea what this is worth as a CGC 9.4 variant cover #3? 

Thanks!

Quick follow up.  I googled and found this article which shows a great side by side and the story behind the variant.  And explains that the name comes from how the "Laird's Photo" sign is almost all white in the variant and all blue in the regular cover.  Pretty cool!  Still not sure what it's worth, but I guess I'll find out in a few days.  Thanks!

Well welcome to the Boards, good that it is providing relief and a bit of joy to your family  

As far as I know the "variant" just seems to have more white to the cover, be it splotches or the over all effect of the white  it's hard for me to pick out of a crowd too  

Thanks so much!  I should know better and googled first.  The description and side by side pictures here in this article make it a lot more clear.  If you look at the sign that says "Laird's Photo" one is mostly white (variant) and the other is mostly blue (regular).  The story makes sense too.  I still have no idea what the ballpark value is, but I guess I'll find out in a few days.
