Gazoony Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hi guys, wanted to see if there's anyone here who's selling any TMNT Mirage books in 9.8? I have 42 so far, and I'd be happy to send a list of ones I need, if you got any. Thanks! 🐢❤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! 🐢❤ I'd recommend heading over to the Want to Buy area and write up a post listing out the individual issues you're looking for. Once it's written out, link it here or possibly even add the link into your signature line. It also helps if when making the list you give people an idea of what you're looking to spend. Setting price expectations from the outset helps prevent wasting time on both sides. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for price, I don't have a price I'm looking to spend as all the Turtle books have different prices depending on scarcity. I'm very reasonable with pricing and don't low ball, so usually both parties are very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Turtle Posted February 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2021 @Wolverinex The kids and I made this 2 weeks ago but I never got around to posting it. We made the Bodacious Black Bean and Corn pizza I mentioned earlier from the TMNT cookbook. This was a hit with everyone and I'm sure we'll be making it again. We did a rectangular one since we just used store-bought Pillsbury Pizza Dough from a can. Thanks again! I'll also mention that we've made the breakfast pie 2 more times since the one we posted. The kids like it a lot! Though I've modified it a bit by scrambling the eggs, which makes the whole process less messy when handing a slice over to a 5-year old.

If your WTB post is exclusively TMNT books, I don't think anyone would be upset with posting a link here. Admittedly, many don't go directly to the WTB section often, but might if there's something they might be able to help with. I'd still suggest giving price ranges. The problem you'll be up against through no fault of your own is that so many have gone before you saying they're offering "reasonable prices" only to find out they are hoping to buy books at like 50% of what they're going for on ebay, for example. As for TMNT volume 1 books specifically, you wouldn't have to list a price for each book if you didn't want to, but I'd say most of the "guest books" of that era in 9.8 are roughly similar in price. You could say something like: $200-300 per issue for 48-62 $125-$200 per issue for 22-47 GPA for issues 1-21. Something like this would let potential sellers gauge your interest level and determine if it's worth taking pictures and reaching out. Please note that these numbers are largely off the top of my head and should not be used as a guide for what you should pay for these books. Pay a price that makes you happy and you'll never regret a purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad you are putting the book to good use. Both pizzas looked delicious. Which one did you like better? I tend to be a fan of the vegetarian options. Thank you for sharing again!

Robert Wilson owned that Metropolis comics, a chain of shops in Florida. So they commissioned a special and worked with Kevin and Peter to make it. Since they (metropolis) published it, that’s why it says that instead of mirage. It has 0 to do with comicconnect or Vince.

Popular Post SpideyFein Posted February 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Ok... Here we are ladies and gents... get ready... Gobbledygook!!! Gobbledygook!!! Gobbledygook!!! I’ll start by saying I never thought I’d own these. These copies had been sitting on the “Bay” for quite some time. I had been looking at them long enough, and with support from some fellow “chuckers” and turtle heads, I decided to make the move and take the chance. After all, when you buy a set of Gobbledygooks, you are never 100% certain they are real until Eastman (or Laird) gives the “green” light. I traveled over 3 hours to pick these up in person, and the seller Steve was great to work with. I’ll post some pics from that faithful day. When I looked at them, I was floored, as they were nearly have the size of normal size comics. I thought they’d be smaller height wise but bigger width wise. Anyhow, from there started the journey to Eastman. These were sent to Dave from Comics and Ponies, who always comes through. He was 100% stellar from start to finish! They were doing a signing and I just got in. When I heard Kevin signed them with a little old school flare on the turtle and he said 💯 that they were real, I was flabbergasted!! As you may know, CGC takes these books very seriously and wanted to 110% make sure they were legit. After some back and forth, and patiently waiting, these arrived at my door the other day. To say I’m in turtle heaven is an understatement. I’ll be posting these in the Gobbledygook club as well. Big shout out to @Turtle @TMNT @rich_TMNT and all of the awesome shellheads on the boards. Here they are... That’s an 88’ mask by the way! Edited February 10, 2021 by SpideyFein ThothAmon, PeasOfCrap, valiantman and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t really tell the print editions so I thought I’d let CGC figure it out. Odd thing is they are all different sizes.
