DPV Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, pubmonkey said: This is very true. The variant of #3 has always been on my radar and I couldn't find one pre-internet. For the TMNT fan it is the must have #3 as there are only 500 of them. Overstreet's, back in the day, had it listed as the NYCC variant and I always wanted to get my hands on one. I don't think the general population of comic collectors care so much even though this is the 'Variant Age'. Well said. That makes sense to me. I'm new to this, but definitely fall in the fan category more than collector. Thanks to you both for the insight!

But he needed the money and dropped the price. Then in 2019 prior to the cgc awards the same individual wanted to purchase it from me for 25k, it would have elevated them into first place. But I have a good relationship with Icculus so I couldn’t let him lose his top spot. I just recently sold it for 8500 on eBay. I had a feeling it would go up on HA. Bad timing to move the book and the seller lost 1k. But that’s the game some play. I was working with the same seller Dec 2016 for that book. I offered $3k and he turned me down. Funny how he ended up selling it for less than I offered. Same seller had a 9.6 first print for sale as well if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always seems to get his hands on some of the best books. I had no idea that I had the only number 16 cgc 9.8 on the census which I purchased from the same seller. It wasn’t until icculus308win pointed it out to me. Parabellum, Gazoony and Icculus308win 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can take forever to look up books one-at-a-time on the CGC census. Try this instead: (sorted by date) http://www.cgcdata.com/cgc/search/title/:Teenage:Mutant:/label/all/orderby/year/variants/yes/ (sorted alphabetically) http://www.cgcdata.com/cgc/search/title/:Teenage:Mutant:/label/all/orderby/alpha/variants/yes/ Edited April 6, 2021 by valiantman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I sent in a submission of mostly TMNT books for normal grading and CGC refused the package citing damage to the box. Now I’m waiting in limbo, hoping the box will actually make it back to me so I can inspect the damage myself. It’s been “coming back” for 2 + weeks now... valiantman and Icculus308win 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, but dealing with USPS insurance is an absolute nightmare and I don't want to give up on the books just yet. I usually pack well...so I'm hoping the damage is just to the box and not the books inside. Gotta stay positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That book is so hard to find in 9.8. @Icculus308win Maybe if you get tired of your copy, you can pass it along to me. LOL. I'm stuck now at 56 of 62 issues of Vol. 1 in 9.8. 😎🐢❤ @Racerboy1 Congrats on the recent Heritage sale and thanks for helping me out with my collection as well!
