I wish I knew how that felt like. Sigh 8>/

One day I'm sure you will have one. It took forever to get one, but the feeling of owning a first print is amazing. Even in a low grade.

I know they don't, but it's such a shame what they did to the front cover. They should've just put all 4 turtles on the back. I feel like this is a crime. 😭😀

Took this from a FB group. Allegedly this is a first print TMNT #1 that belongs to Torpedo Comics.

This hurts my heart that they would massacre a first print like this, especially on a high grade book.

If I had the TMNT now, I'd sell and buy older stuff. 

Like what? Obviously we're on a Turtles related thread so we're biased towards the turtles books, but what would you buy? I wouldn't sell my TMNT books for anything, especially my #1.

That is a crazy and impressive collection, but man it must have been exhausting collecting all that. I feel like I have too many books and I got like 4 short boxes. LOL.

Like some else said. I hope the guy got a good price for all of it.

Hey guys, I was looking at my copy of #1 and it look like there's the Letters "W" "R" "L" in the blood spatter on the sword in the Turtles logo. In the L and the E of the "Turtles"

Am I just seeing things or is this an Easter egg or something I may not know about?

🤔

I don’t know about a million . That would be entering realm of detective comics 27, marvel comics 1 , Superman 1 . I don’t think it’s that caliber of comic . It’s rare in 9.8 those other comics are rare period . Like less than 50 copies or something like that . 

I think TMNT #1 will be in a category with those books. It's still relatively new, age wise, but give it a couple of more decades it'll be a 60 year old book at that point. I think it'll be a million dollar book easily.

The 1st print is easily my holy grail of comics, so I may be a bit biased here. LOL.

Holy hell.  Someone offered $220K and it didn't get accepted?  That's wild!!  

Imagine where prices are going to end up after the all the people that want to cash out have sold.  It seems like the surge is causing long time holders to sell for huge profits.  So what happens next?  Is there an aftermath period where the new buyers hold and the leftover longtime holders still don't sell?  Or is it a continual surge.  There has to be a leveling off at some point, right?  I am absolutely fascinated by the TMNT comic market.  What do you guys think? 

That is pretty crazy they turned down $220k. But with the how many TMNT fans there are and how relatively few first prints there are, I see #1 being a million dollar book in a few decades. Maybe sooner.

I bought a personal grail (TMNT #1) from Jerry and it couldn't have gone better.

Great seller and went above and beyond to accommodate me in getting the book.

A pleasure to deal with and will purchase more for sure in the future. 😎🙌

Finally got a proper scan of my copy. 

There's a 4.5 on eBay someone should buy.....

Do you have a link to the Ebay listing? I can't find it, and I filtered to sold listing and it doesn't show anything either.

Thanks. 😀

There’s only 1 #16 9.8 that exists. I sold it to icculus304win for a disgusting amount of money  

There's 2 total. I know 1 is @Icculus308win and the other is another member here and fellow Canadian. 🇨🇦😎🙌

I'm just putting out positive vibes to hopefully get 1 if someone gets it graded in the future. 😃🙏

Any TMNT #1? 😎🙌

Congrats! That’s got to be a record! If I find any of your missing ones in 9.8 I’ll send you the links! 

Thanks! I'm really proud of my books, but there's a few people here in this thread that put me to shame. 

But I'm happy with what I have and have a few of them to thank for helping me with my collection so far. 😎❤🐢

Great books!

I'm looking for #11, #13, #16, #28 and #62 in 9.8.

Just putting it out there if you have some or getting in the future. 😎

So you have an almost entire run of volume 1 in CGC 9.8?

Yes, I have 56 of the 62 in 9.8.

Thanks for your insight. I was thinking about buying them for future resale and wasn't sure if this is a good purchase with them being almost a complete run of volume 1? I do have a second printing of #1 I could perhaps include wit the set and perhaps in a few years may double in price? How's your volume 4 collection coming along? Which issues do you need?

I just have issues #1 and #15 of Vol. 4 at the moment.

I'm trying to finish my Vol. 1 run but it's super hard with the remaining issues I need. I still need #11, #13, #16, #28 and 62. I'm doing it in 9.8 grade so those last 5 issued are very tough to get.

Also need a #1 first print. Amy grade at this point. LOL.

Fantastic Four 48 7.5. Wasn’t going to sell, but a few people dm’d me asking if I had this so am posting for sale. Sad to see this one go from the PC, it took me years to find a wrap this nice that has “Marvel” actually visible for those who know.

 

 

 

Good luck with the sale! Definitely a great wrap. I don't think people realize how few of these are actually centered properly. 

If you go on Ebay and look at the top 20 or so copies, maybe 2 or 3 have good centering.

I do like the old Kevin “B” Eastman sig 🤗

I'm surprised they never came up with a character named "Beast Man" as a pun on his name. 🤷‍♂️😀

Hello @ADAMANTIUM This is the link to the page. Maybe you could advise me, do you think this is a good purchase for 3,600 - seller would accept 3,400? It is from the UK but almost the entire run of volume 1? Thoughts?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254988394217

That price is also in pounds. It says the conversion rate makes it about $5,100 USD.

I wouldn't pay that, personally. It is nice to look at them all together though. The "City At War" arc and covers are great.

I still need a few issues from vol. 1.

I'm now very slowly starting Vol. 4.

It never stops... LOL.

Beautiful book. 🐢❤😎

always items coming up. What are you looking for?

I've been looking for X Factor 6 9.8, Captain America 100 9.8, and Turtles vol. 1, issues 11, 13, 16, 28, and 62 in 9.8.

But in general I just saw your thread and it had some cool books that you post and was hoping I didn't join in to late. Can't wait to see what comes up next.

Just found this thread. Any other juicy stuff coming up? Or are you done? 😭😎
