Can I get any advice on Previews #3 that came out 2 months before Malibu Sun. CGC says there are three variants: Cover A, “Insert Variant, and Variant. What is the “Insert variant” if both variants had the color poster?

I have a 9.8 older CGC case of Marvel Team-Up #65. Is there any way to detect from out side of the case? Anyone know when CGC started notating?

It’s all good. We tried! 

Hey Dan, I could swear I saw the inside pics of these books somewhere with the fake name and 211 of 500. Do you have those pics somewhere?

Many consignors, including myself, did very well in this auction. A lot of strong prices. $1300 for the pair is likely closer to the true market value than $5500 or $7500.

We will see but I sell to clients directly and none of my sales get reported to GPA so it will never be known publicly. I was already offered more than what I spent.

But they aren't. 

I was being facetious and they knew it.

Yep they did I bought (won) them. Because I saw they sold in Dec for $5,500!

They sure did! They went for a steal. I’m mad I didn’t win them back! I was watching the non-counterfeit #1 and when I scrolled back- BAM. 

 

$7500 is quite the mark up! I did sell these on ebay on 11/22 for less. I had put them up for a wild price because I didn’t want to sell but needed the dough. I think the market now spoke on the value. I’m surprised!
 

The guy who bought them off of me must have immediately consigned them with mycomicshop. I think having them in the auction with the originals hurt them. 

I actually just posted them for sale at $7,500 on FB and my SHOP on FB and all the groups. There has been so much hate on social media toward my sales price because people can't see that they were bought for $5,500 on E-Bay (Bought quickly too) because they were sold together and not reported to GPA!!! I also provide financing. I do lots of analysis during the larger auctions and scour the web for data to make purchases. I was lucky to fin the SOLD data on this set. I love MyComicShop as I can buy with zero fees and zero taxes. I found that sale on E-Bay and wondered if it was a "fake" sale just to boost the auction values. I took a risk and we will see. Glad to hear it was a real sale. Please reach out to me on FB at Jude Snowboarder. So many people on Facebook are saying they are worthless as they are counterfeits. I told them they are 2nd prints and variants! LOL. I think I got a steal just because people are so ignorant on these counterfeits. They have a real place in the Comic Community history of TMNT. I could not resist. I was collecting during the 80s and have multiple 1st prints of #3-#10 and Raphael #1. Got them all slabbed and signed by Eastman. Took me two years with the CGC Magazine size slab delays. But my #3 came back a 9.8 CGC SS!!! Still need the elusive #1 and #2. As for the guy who put them up on MCS? What was he thinking? Selling right after Christmas when everyone was broke? And those Large Auctions provide steals because there is only so much $ to go around and these counterfeits went on sale day 3 (Right after a huge Heritage Auction). Many of the  buyers had already spent their budget. I was wondering if he died and his family was selling quickly as many of the books I bid on just "happened" to have a recent Jan sale? No idea what he was thinking.

Yes, I'm number 211 of 500  I'm curious on these though- were these created after TMNT 1 dropped, got hot and sold out? That would be the only logical explanation. I know there were some counterfeits of TMNT 1, but not like this.   

I bought these in the CGC SS case signed by Eastman! LOL

Here are the back covers! 

I just bought the 1st two sets of Gobbldygook #1 and #2 (Yellow) graded in the history of the CGC Census. #1 is a 7.0 CGC SS Signed by Eastman and the #2 is a 7.5 CGC SS Signed by Eastman. Both were sold as a set on E-Bay for $7,500 with a best offer. These are the ONLY two counterfeit issues on the census. Selling for $7,500 Shipped PPGS. 

I can't find the Batman: One Dark Knight Jock comic to enter for GCG SS in either comics or magazines?
