Hi!.. I did the deal. Here's what I got in return (plus I paid a little bit of cash... I was the one that initiated the deal)... I think this one has a lot of growth potential later this year! It was tough parting with my TMNT as the original owner of them, but I really wanted this one! Let me know how you think I did!

Thanks! He seems like a great collector and he knows his stuff, and we were really just trying to come to a fair deal, so your note makes me feel like we're both on safe ground on either side of the deal... so hearing your assessment eases my mind! I'll post the comic I'm trading for after we make the swap! It's a 9.6 of a very solid key bronze age comic, and he's a TMNT fan, so I always somehow feel better knowing they're going somewhere to be appreciated (or at least, how I envision it!). Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Hi all - I am looking at selling (preferred) or trading these (open to trading for one or two much larger key comic)... I have an offer (in trade value) for these from a collector, so I guess I just wanted to see if someone else might be interested in a purchase of them. His offer (in trade) is $550 for everything you see here (he acknowledge it might be a bit low of an offer... because I'm the one seeking the trade, and he'd prefer cash) So, I know it's hard to judge value of raw, so just assume the raw are in decent enough shape to get a 9.0+ (if submitted), and I just wanted to; a) Seek advice from the group to make sure I'm not underestimating the value (or overestimating) these. b) If there might be a better home for them here, among the TMNT'ers of this site who might pay closer to fair market for the bundle? c) Nah - sounds like a fair trade - It's a good deal - do it! Thanks for your time, reading this! All opinions are appreciated. Cheers.

Let me know your thoughts on the value of a TMNT #10 First printing, 9.8, with SS? (and if you might be interested!?). I'm having a hard time finding a comp to figure out what I should price it at!! Cheers.

Give me Jackie Chan and 3 wine bottles!

Thanks.. I've stuck my toe into the TMNT chat section on some books I was getting slabbed with Eastman SS, but know there is a whole set of unwritten rules, and nuances to show respect for process, and common mistakes in these forums! Would love to up my game of grading the nuances of the lower grades.. it's pretty easy to argue from 8.5 to 9.8, but the nuances of grades under 6 are a whole new kettle of fish for me. Cheers.

Thanks! It ain't easy being a noob. Doing this as a learning exercise, so I'll do my best to stay out of people's way, and clutter of dumb questions on the message boards. Don't know what to expect this time, but I expect to improve each contest. Cheers.

Geez - Sorry to pepper you with the questions! I just send my grades to you on PM (Sunday 12:30 est) - let me know if I made the closing time or not! Cheers, and Stay Zesty.

Lol. Send out a mass email and ask if anyone has been waiting an unusual extended period of time for their order! See how many replies you get! I'm in Canada and have been waiting for a box of 25 modern for 8 months. Take a look and let me know if it says "CA" is in "CANADA" or "CA" as in "California". Good luck with the mystery. I hope everyone right comics get to the right people!

Sure! I'm in.

Hi - Noob CGC question for Toronto Fan Expo 2021 for anyone who has experience with it?: I know CGC is going to be here Oct 21-24, because they mentioned they are there to witness the Jim Lee 2021 signing event, but if you want to have an artist in "artist's alley" sign a comic, can you get a CGC person at the show to follow you through the alley and certify they saw it signed and take possession of it? Same goes for a cover sketch? Also - Will CGC take all submissions at the show, to save Canadians at least "half" the shipping costs of sending to Florida? (Shipping costs from Canada are killer-expensive). Thanks for any help!

Hey everyone - Many, many, MANY months later after you all helped me with sparing a grade, and the unboxing from Eastman is in! The photos got me a 9.2-9.4 consensus grade from the community... And here's the verdict... Ta-da! I was hoping for a 9.9 or 10 (none in registry - hey, you gotta dream!) - but I'm a very happy camper!

Sorry... "There's company"... I think I defaulted to the original ad in my head...?

Curious... Sorry if I'm repeating a question. Do we know what comic book Loki was reading in Episode 2? Definitely a Jet Ski Ad... "With a Tandom, there's room for two"? Definitely sounds like they'll be a team.
