So whats the take on this oddity, admittedly the first time I've heard of, or seen before...
Pedigree listing...
TURTLEMANIA SPECIAL #1 NM/Mint White pages. Highest on census, low print run. This is not only the highest on the CGC census, it's the ONLY 9.8 copy on the CGC census. Extremely hard to find, let alone in HG, there are only 2 cps. graded under this at 9.6 and 9.4. First public sale offering, a true must for hardcore turtle fans. DETAILS- Cover Credits: Peter Laird (Pencils) Kevin Eastman (Inks) Don Orapallo (color overlay) (Colors) typeset (Letters). Cover Feature: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Genre: Funny Animal. Indexer notes: Limited edition booklet that features unpublished T.M.N.T. artwork and exclusive previews of then upcoming stories. The material gathered for this publication was provided directly to Robert Wilson by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman. Turtlemania was produced in three editions: Regular (print run of 3,000 with white covers); Silver #1 (print run of 100, autographed); Gold (print run of 10, autographed with original sketch on back cover).
