My Wife has been a rockstar upon this first day of School (cough - eLearning) for my two boys. She had everything dialed for them ready for today and all is going surprisingly very well - still.🤞  
So in honor of fricken eLearning for a year and hoping kids don’t come out of this as mutants. I decided to take the first group photos of some actual 9.8 teenage mutants. Six of them of them to be precise........ 

 

 

 

 

 

From a difficulty perspective the sixth print might be the most impressive.

This is an interesting situation tbh. Because there’s another 8.5 sitting at $20K best offer. So have to wonder if that’s going to put a cap on what this will sell for, although that logic doesn’t always apply. I’ll say around $17K.

I can’t believe this copy is at $3500! I mean it’s sort of masquerading as a high grade copy, but isn’t really. Although it’s mentioned in the description albeit not as honestly as it should be, there’s a small patch of moister/water damage on what appears to be a bunch of pages, including the cover. So you’re really looking at potentially a 7.5-8.0 at best. I think someone is going to be pissed with this purchase thinking they have a 9.4, and getting something considerably lower if sent to CGC. Or maybe buyers know they’re bidding on a nice presenting mid-grade copy and this is just what that’s going for now 🤷‍♂️.

Was it a good buy, honestly no freaking clue. I’m just impressed that it sold for that much! I mean was auction so clearly there was atleast 1 other interested buyer willing to spend around as much. Either way for a 4.0, that’s nucking futs 😳😳😳. I think this book appears to be on a hot streak, and ain’t going anywhere anytime soon.

There’s no way to is will stay at these prices . This is being manipulated big time it’s happening all over the place . I’m staying clear of this book for a while 

 

A tell tale sign will be steady flow of first and second prints to market for sale

Nah, not being manipulated. Got to present proof for something like that. But FOMO for sure! There’s no doubt heavy amounts of FOMO happening.

[Subby1938]

No I don’t . To show who? The people defending this garbage or the dealers squeezing the life out this hobby . There will be no new money coming in years to come from young collectors . This has gotten so out of hand and it’s been pyramid scheme since it’s inception. The same dealers selling in early days have been same dealers rebuying  and selling again over and over for more money . There’s your proof . 
 

In two years tmnt has gone up 150% how or why?
