proventheory-migration Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Six years ago, I sold all my comics and original comic art to start my business. A month ago, I accidentally got into this forum and was reminded that my favorite childhood heroes had a comic book. I kinda knew that they had a comic when I was younger. However, it was soon forgotten because the comic was out of my price range at that time. So I spent nights reading all the TMNT posts on the forum and constantly harassing other forum members for their knowledge and advice. After weeks of research and finally coming to a conclusion of what grade I should get, the exact comic show up on the bay a couple days later. And without further delay, I introduce my first comic in 6 years and first slabbed book ever, my first TMNT #1: Thank you to all the members who took the time to pm me back and answer all my questions.

ARiche503 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Congrats but I know I will own a 9.8 WP of this book within my lifetime so I'm holding out. That's still a killer grade though. Display it proudly (just not in sunlight). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Just scored Michaelangelo 9.6 and Donatello 9.6 one shots on eBay from Heritage. The TMNT 9.6+ collection continues to grow. I still haven't sent out my other books for grading. I will be doing that soon as I am highly anticipating more slabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Very nice! Keep it up! I keep a spreadsheet of TMNT vol. 1. It shows me the issue numbers, the top census grade for each issue, and how many copies of that top grade there are. I was updating the spreadsheet for the first time in a few months earlier today and I noticed that submissions for the first 9 issues really went up. 9.8's for 2, 3, and 4 increased pretty drastically...about 10 each or so just within the last few months and there's even been a second Universal 9.8 #9 found. At the beginning of the year, there weren't any 9.8's, now there are 3! There was a #2 9.8 at the beginning of the year that sold for $700 on Ebay. I think that spiked submissions at least for that issue. Do you think it could have caused increased submissions for some of the other early issues? Is there any other reason submissions may have spiked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
