TMNT Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Love the painting Danny! <---I don't give this guy out very often! Also, I'd like to cordially invite Oroku Saki, CyberJad, and icculus308win to eat it...and I mean that in the nicest possible way. I just won this lot off of ebay tonight. It'll serve as an upgrade since the #2 has WHITE PAGES. I'll also keep the top census Fugitoid and the 9.8 Blue Label Donatello for my collection. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=120654491670&si=7hFeNRP%252BCR5sAj2AHBOlZCbv7mA%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:B:EOIBSA:US:1123#ht_500wt_1156 ...ya big bullies. Thanks everybody! And fantastic win there in that auction. The #2 by itself can pull that much so you should definately be able to make some money back, not to mention the great Fugitoid book. And in regards to Albedo, I actually would like to get a copy someday. Besides crossing paths in a number of books and the cartoons, I really like the title and Usagi so I'll pick this up at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whetteon Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 3. Coming from Turtle fans... what's word on Albedo #2? Is this one of those books most want to add to their collection? I'm actively seeking both. In fact I was the low bidder last week on a Tutle #1 CGC 7.0 that sold for $700. I haven't been able to find any copy of Albedo #2 that isn't already CGC'ed and over priced. Perhaps I'm looking in all the wrong places but I'm definitely interested in purchasing the book!

Turtle Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 With my NYCC books back, I just completed this set. Thought I'd post it here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Man Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 While I'm a HUGE fan of each of these, the Chabot Raph wins it for me. And re: Albedo, I read the Usagi Yojimbo TPB vol. 1 and will be looking to get more--a great mix of fun and legitimate storytelling. I'm tempted to say the least go after a copy of #2. I also need to finish my Turtle 1 shots as well as the Fugitoid book. But no rush on these as I've been doing a little work on some GA and SA stuff. Kinda bummed that TMNT #1 in 7.0 sold for only $700 though Bit softer than I'd have expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dupont2005 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Was that yours? I always thought the book would always be out of my reach but at those prices I might be able to pull it offone day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samhain88-migration Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Does everything look legit on this auction? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320626647227&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT I wanna bid but that price I think might be too high for a raw book.

Icculus308win Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Hey guys sorry for not contributing to this great thread lately. Golden Age and Copper forums always seem to be the tried and true good spirited and nonderailing posts. Our house is finally done being built (95%) and we just moved in. Long process, a year with the arch. and a year and three months construction. I'm freakin out right now. Im a perfectionist and have OCD, (clutter and disorganized makes me tick kind) so a house FULL of boxes is torture to me! Plus we have a toddler, granted Brody who is two years two months old is an angel, still it is a wee bit tough. And my beautiful wife is almost 6 months pregnant. Moral of the story my limited contributions with now be even more so for a couple months. (Did I mention we are hosting Christmas this year to boot!) Anyways, as Jeff said, the TMNT guys here are some of the most salt of the Earth people on the Boards. People like Jeff, Danny and Adam are some of the nicest, most helpful, good humored people I don't mean to leave out others, I just know you three via PMs. Adam I will happily eat it, your set continues to amaze me. Please keep up the great work for all of us to continue drooling! Danny just like Adam, please continue to keep that art collection of yours flourishing and continue to post pics. Fantabulous stuff! To all the TMNT fans here, thanks for making this thread always a nice place to visit and add my 2cents. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! Best, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proventheory-migration Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Does everything look legit on this auction? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320626647227&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT I wanna bid but that price I think might be too high for a raw book. Thoughts? imho, for this comic, i wouldnt buy it raw - unless you saw it in person and knew what you were doing. good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samhain88-migration Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hey thaks for the info. The price has already gone up over my limit on what I would pay for this book raw so I guess I will just save and buy a nicer, graded one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samhain88-migration Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Does anyone elses first print smell a little, smoky? I know Kevin Eastman smoked ciggs back in the day so Im sure these books were exposed to that. My friends book smells a little funky, not a ''regular'' comic smell.

Mac Man Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 I think it looks like that book went for a premium--probably not better than a VF and the price was tight. And no, never noticed a smokey smell when I first owned it... but now it's slabbed and I'll never know . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samhain88-migration Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Why in the hell did that book, raw, go for that much? A slabbed 7.5 I believe ended for $900 a week ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabidwolf Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I think it looks like that book went for a premium--probably not better than a VF and the price was tight. . More surprisingly his #4 NYCC variant went for $810 !!!!!!!!!!! I think its time I put my #4 variants on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Man Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Ah, I didn't even think to look and see what else he was offering. I went back in there and looked again at that book--definitely think it's no higher than a 8.0 with those spine ticks. $1k is definitely a premium. I've seen some 9.0ish books (slabbed) go for only a 200-300 more... at that rate, seems like that'd be a better deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archon_Turtle Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Seeking help on the value of some early items that I still have. 1) four button set that you sent away for that was advertised in an early issue 2) original fanclub package 3) an early newletter 4) original hardback collection with a dustjacket Working on getting pictures and will post a link in the next couple of days. Thanks, Edwin 1) Those buttons dont trade very often, but aren't particularly well known either. I'd say probably within the $100-$200 range? 2) Ive seen sealed fanclub packets sell for $200. Much less if opened. 3) Not much. 4) This is worth the most out of what you listed. Average value for this book is $200-300ish. I've seen them go as far as $500 but not recently. 5) Which ones? This all ofcourse comes wit the caviat that everything is only worth what people will pay for it. So please don't take these values as absolute truth. If youre interested in selling those buttons, I'm interested in buying them. Edited December 13, 2010 by Archon_Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
