cyberjad Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 How much did you cough up for that one? Not at much as you would think. I got super, super, amazingly lucky buying it raw I don't wanna even know do I?.......I bought mine at the peak and it was slabbed. You are a patient and therefore smarter man. You definitively don't want to know. However I still don't think you got a bad deal. Your copy is arguably the nicest ever sold (thumbs u Anyways, WTF are the chances of finding a raw 9.6 anyways? I just got very, very lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icculus308win Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Well I thank-you for making me feel better about my price compared to your steal. I am happy I pulled the trigger on my book, for I love it dearly. Timing can be a person_without_enough_empathy though!! Hopefully it will go to one of my sons if they are into the hobby, if not a TMNT Boardie gets first crack. As for the chances on a WHITE 9.6 raw book.....I thought slim to none...... and slim already left the building!! That is quite find. In my eyes that makes your book like a once thought extinct animal, that has been rediscovered. You give hope that others are indeed still hiding.

rabidwolf Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 The number 1s in higher grade have taken a little bit of a drop in price. But I think this is temporary. Nickolodean bought the rights to TMNT for a huge sum of money about a year or so ago. They havent done anything with the brand yet, but once they start making shows and movies, the books are going to see another surge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Scored myself another raw #1 1st print. Pictures of it looked amazing, so I'm crossing my fingers and trying to pull in the luck of Cyberjad. Buying books like this based off of digital photos is such a tough call to make and risky (for me). I've already been swindled once by a less than poor self grader. 9.0 actually grading 7.5 ughhhhhh. But then again I blame myself for not being knowledgeable enough at the time of purchase. This time around I feel more confident. Having the book overnighted so hopefully I will have a better guess tomorrow as to what cgc may give me. So this means the next 5-8 weeks are gonna kill me as I stress out over what my grade may be. My goal is to make a Volume 1 collection in 9.6 - 9.8 . So far, so good. #1 1st print is going to be the toughy. Wish me luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toitle Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Good luck! I sort of "give up" buying any comic book I really WANT, raw, too many problems. So until I strike it rich, I am living with the fact I won't be getting a #1 9.6 or 9.8 anytime soon A person must have some sort of super-luck to find a raw 9.6+! -Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helleva book you found man. Everyone has seen the new cartoon they put out a few months ago right? Turtles Forever? I personally thought it wrapped up all three recognized grouping of the turtles rather nicely! (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cejax Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Greetings, everyone. I collected TMNT as a kid and have recently submitted my first printings of issues 1 - 4. Seeing everyone's excitement over finding ungraded copes and/or waiting to get their graded comics back has only made me even more excited to hear how my issues stack up. I'll be sure to post when I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Turtle-migration Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Not sure if there are specific sections in here as I am new to this forum... I have no idea how I never found this site before!! I know a number of you on here who are fans of the TMNT universe who already know who I am, but for those who do not, I am a Canadian film producer, who is behind the phenomenon wide TMNT Documentary, which has been in production for the past two years. For those of you who have not heard of this documentary it is now in distribution negotiations, which will hopefully see it hit the screens in the coming year or so. I would send you to our web site, but it has not been updated for more than a year and does not really represent what we have done to date anymore. For now I am looking at the possibility of selling off some very special pieces in my collection. I acquired these while shooting with Kevin and Peter during the documentaries many tours with the guys. The pair of Gobbledygooks are in amazing condition and signed by both parties in 2009. Like I say these are pretty special to me, but due to a financial situation I am looking at the possibility of moving them. If you are interested please drop me an email at: isaac@iproductionsonline.com for more info. Thanks!! Isaac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARiche503 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I think I'm already in contact with him. He's supposed to be giving me first crack at them since I recently bought some other TMNT art from him. I hope it's the same guy at least.
