You can't rule out private sales. There's a huge incentive to avoid fees and duties by trading in private. That said, you can't factor them into a current market price either. It looks like the Comic Connect $27K sale last April was a recent high for this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you can't rule out pvt sales, but you would think avoiding all the the 3rd parties for these reasons - these buyers wouldn't be setting record prices (I acquired my 9.8 private sale, by trading my 9.6 #1 and $.

Dogsupreme Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I just acquired a high grade lot of turtles from #5-50 of the regular series. What issues are of particular interest or keys? Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spracknetch23 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I suppose the biggest keys of the run are #1 (1st Turtles, Shredder, Splinter), and #2 (1st April, Baxter, Mousers). Here are a few more first appearances though...not necessarily high value at the moment: Tales of the TMNT v1 #4: Rat King Tales of the TMNT v1 #6: Leatherhead TMNT v1 #8: Renet Raphael #1: Casey Jones TMNT v1 #51 or 52: Karai One of the ones that seems to be in more demand lately is #7, 2nd printing. Especially high grade CGC copies. Another would be #4, 2nd printing, which features the Michael Dooney cover art which was used for the original NES Turtles game. (Just give me a chance at the OA of that piece.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably the most iconic TMNT piece of art outside of the original cover for #1. You also have both TMNT fans and video game fans who would be after it. I'd say somewhere north of $15k if not 20. Edited May 2, 2017 by spracknetch23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM8 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 TMNT #1 9.8 auction on Heritage stuck at $20,000 (~$24K total) with less than 9 hours to go. Looks like buyers aren't fooled by the buyer's premium bs they put on top of bids. https://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/alternative-underground/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-1-mirage-studios-1984-cgc-nm-mt-98-white-pages/a/7163-91017.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HC 6th Printing of #1 had 500 copies - also a cool book, but the Omnibus is a great way of having all the early E&L issues in one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmoney80 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 What would the cost be to grade a TMNT 1 1st print (1984)? Had a bad USPS shipment and may can just get a new holder, but was wondering the price if it had to be graded. It was a CGC 7.0 if that matters.

If the posts are still in tact, you should be able to re holster for $15 plus shipping. If they are not, you need to resubmit. A 7.0 is borderline and you can PROBABLY submit it under Express tier, which will run you $95 + shipping and other fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
