With prices all over the place, what would you ask for this? Last sale was 66k, the one before was 88k...both signed. 

The owner would love to do a private sale, but it might end up at Heritage.

I’d send it to auction . No way to know . If the rumours are true that a copy 9.8 sold privately ( unconfirmed ) for 200K  it could bring a 9.6 well over 100K. It’s just speculation but well worth trying to find out

Agreed - It might have to end up there just because of the lack of any kind of standard. He actually has another 9.6 coming up at HA in Sept, and another high grade (currently raw) behind it so we have to get in line behind those ..in the meantime we'll see what kind of offers pop up.

I don’t own first print I would be . Reinvest in lower grade first prints that are more attainable and more liquid for masses just like what collectors are doing with Amazing Fantasy 15

Agreed,  lower grade first prints sometimes carry a premium due to the lower, more "affordable "cost

Very nice copies. Those cases are awful though. Wish they would update them to match the sturdiness of the comic case.  Maybe Blackstone would listen to my suggestion hm

Agreed- and the paper stock of labels is too lightweight as well...they're buckling in the the case.

I’m in this very situation with AF15 . I can’t afford anything above 2.0 so I wonder those who have money prob are looking at 6.0 or higher and 3.0-5.5 are in limbo due to high cost to most collectors and unappealing to those that have the income to buy nicer copies.

Tmnt 1 is def in this exact state . For 20K you’re  getting mid grade now correct ? A near mint minus  (9.0) is approaching 30k ouch!!! If my numbers are sorry I’m just getting a point across

Exactly... mid grades are likely around 20k now... there is just a baseline cost to even get a 1st print.

I feel like the floor for a first print at any grade is close to $10,000 at this point.  That's just based on my eBay and Facebook group observations, so I could be off.

I know of one here in Canada it’s 2.0. The guy wouldn’t consider parting ways how much he loves this book . He gets crazy offers all the time ( he turned down 10K Canadian )

 

Heres an honest question where do we see 3,4,5 printings of this book in future since 1&2 are almost gonzo for most ?

Just picked up this purdy 3rd print. :cloud9: Needs a bit of a press, then might send it off to Voldemort for verification and entombing. :devil:
