    This is the $50 visual book the $2k book comes bundled with!

     

    I absolutely love that book.  I was able to get mine signed by Eastman at a convention.  All the inserts and attachments are such a cool bonus.  

    If I was the seller of that $2k auction I don't think I'd go through with the sale.  Assuming it wasn't troll bids, that thing is gonna get returned.

    Question.  the most recent sales on #4 first print 9.8 (1300 dollars) and #4 2nd print (1100 dollars) on HA would seem to suggest that the 2nd print might actually be more valuable than the first.   What's the story?   Outlier?   2nd print cover getting more attention for being the image on the NES game?  Scarcity?   any ideas?

    It's definitely the cover, in my opinion. It's one of my favorites for sure.

    Wow! They got their $12,000 starting offer immediately after posting them, and the 9.4 on Heritage is up to $12,500 now with 3 weeks left in the auction.

    There is a 7.0 on Heritage also that is at $12,000 right now.  It makes me wonder why they are selling theirs on Facebook.  I would think they'd get more exposure on an auction site.

    Wow!  With buyers premium included it's over $11k!  I've wanted to upgrade my 6.5 but at these prices I'll just be happy with it.  It almost feels like the floor for a CGC 1st print is $10k.  At least for the mid range low end books.  There's only a small amount of sub 5.0 books and I haven't seen any really low grades sell lately.  Has anyone seen any first prints sell with a grade at 5.0 or less in the past 6 months or so?

    Well after scoring a great copy of TMNT 2 first print in cgc 9.6 I was surfing eBay auctions and stumbled on issue 4 cgc 9.6. It was auction with zero interest it seemed as seller stated it was local pickup only. It may have discouraged bidders I went ahead bid anyways hoping he would change his mind and send it my way, and won the book for $ 354.00 US .The seller agreed to ship to my surprise ,  I felt this was also a great price for my fav cover in this run . Any thoughts ? 

     

    I think you did great for that price.  A 9.6 just sold a few weeks ago for $699.00 on eBay.  It was a buy it now but someone was still willing to pay that much.  The first 4 books and Raphael just keep climbing.  I have a #4 9.2 coming back from CGC right now.  I would have jumped all over a 9.6 at your price.  Congrats.

    If you haven't seen it yet, Shellback Artworks recently posted to FB that they are going to be offering up some high-end books soon, all CGC graded. NYCC variant, a couple of #1 first prints, plus more.

    Awww man.  The NYCC Variant is gonna get the green label isn't it?  I mean it's rare enough that it won't matter to most.  I'd like to upgrade my 9.0 but I couldn't stand the green.  Lol.  I'll be curious to see what it sells for
