The OS Guide is not particularly helpful in allowing me to determine whether I have a first, second or even third printing of a particular issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

 

Can someone please give me more detailed guidance! :applause::hi:

First print has an ad for Gobbledygook on the last page.

The other printings have it listed on the bottom of the first page.

That's just for #1.

I believe the others have the printing number on the bottom of the first page on all printings, but I could be wrong.

I have the first printings of #2, #3 and #4! Sweet! :banana:

 

I bought these when they were issued, probably when I was selling at a show on Long Island in 1984-1985 and haven't looked at, nor really cared about, them since.

 

How do current sales prices compare to Guide "values"? :popcorn:

As you can see, the answer to you question is, as usual: ask the boards.

 

That's why I didn't waste my time searching for the answer online even though it likely would have been found without too much effort. ;) (thumbs u

There is also a "counterfeit" #1 1st printing that exists...but the counterfeiters used a 3rd printing for the inside front cover, which they whited out "3rd printing". The way you can tell is, the third printing had a different address on the bottom of the inside cover than the 1st printing.
