Let’s just say when someone missed the boat when Isac Hays was serving the Bloody Mary’s they get really bitter when we’re all getting hammered and happy while the dock is empty and it says maybe next time 

Lol I could buy one any day of the week...no one is missing out. I just came to the forum and saw the circle jerk and thought I’d inject some logic. When people start saying tmnt is like AC 1 or det 27 those are I Sam levels of retardation.

And by the way yes.. Tmnt #1 first print is the Action comics or Af 15 of the copper era. You can dispute that til u see a sat night hooker in church on a Sunday morning 

I’m not putting the book down. It’s a great book but the price spike is not sustainable. That’s all I’m saying and it’s just an opinion.

It's a valid opinion 

I just missed a memo of anyone saying otherwise

The closest I've found is

1st print is sustainable but will level

2nd will level but not come dow to 2 month ago prices

3rd print non sustainable

Supply and demand... when a book isn’t much in supply the demand is greater that’s the law of anything. If u have funds that allowed u to buy a book that’s very hard to obtain but so many want to possess its human nature to want something others desire but can’t due to the funds it takes to achieve it

Thats all possible but what makes you think kids growing up today are going to be connected to a comic book that they never read and will want to spend a ton of money to get it? Thats the ten thousand dollar question. i think the answer is they wont. Im just a rich guy buying dumb mess. I dont think this is a good investment at this point. Anyone with brains is selling into this market.

I never read Action Comics 1.

I never read Tec 27.

I never read AF 15.

I never read X-Men 1.

I never read ToS 39.

I never read JiM 83.

Never read any of those books yet here we are thanks to media and pop culture. I don't see TMNT being any different than the aforementioned.

That's all I was saying earlier,  but people wanted to dance around the subject. I was at work and didn't feel the need to have tell sustainability of a comic book to adult collectors who should know better.

U mean 3rd print is also unsustainable. It will level out also eventually. Not yet as 2nd prints are going wild still..

You guys are looking at dollar signs while you're holding your books in hand, but the truth is a spike this fast always goes down. Maybe not back to previous prices, but they will always level off. Dont buy this book now! Let the novices pay these crazy prices, and grab the book when nobody's looking.

That's right. I paid cover price for mine, and can think of many other things to put my money in.

And nobody is saying anything different. The fact is that TMNT, whether or not there is a series today, made the biggest impact on the comic industry than any other comic after and somewhat before. There is no other comic in the last 40 yrs that even comes close. That makes this one hot commodity and people see it as an investment which is normal. Nobody is suggesting to put all their money in this comic instead of AMD or Amazon or Pronhub, that would be naive investing. Diversification is king and adding this to one’s portfolio only adds another revenue stream when it’s time to sell. When I sell mine it will be to fund the addition of another hot tub on my future super yacht...

I’m not an investor and my bank does not give  a rats about what comics I have stashed away .
