Parabellum Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Just an updated pic of my graded TMNT books. I'm pretty happy how this is coming along. All are white pages TMNT 1 first print x2 CGC 7.5 and 9.0 SS TMNT 1 second print 9.2 (bought it raw and had it submitted through a local shop) TMNT 1 third print 9.8 SS TMNT 2 first and second print 9.8, first print SS TMNT 3 NYCC 9.2 TMNT 3 first print 9.8 SS TMNT 4 first print 9.8 TMNT 4 error 9.6 (bought this raw and had it submitted through a local shop) TMNT 1 color edition error 9.8 SS TMNT vol 2 error 9.6 (bought it from Mirage Licensing, my intention was to order a regular edition but this one came instead. Submitted it through a local shop) TMNT Adventures 1 1988 9.8 TMNT Adventures 1 1989 9.8 just submitted my TMNT 1 sixth print at the Baltimore con. Waiting on the results. Should be at least a 9.6, great shot at a 9.8. szucchini, oakman29 and ADAMANTIUM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoffitmus prime Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Condition is not the priority, it's price. I'd prefer a better copy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM8 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Speaking of #1 First prints for sale, here's a 9.6 auction that just began on Heritage (not mine): https://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/alternative-underground/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-1-mirage-studios-1984-cgc-nm-96-white-pages/a/7169-92242.s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little friendly advice: Your post wasn't very helpful, and it's not really enticing to potential sellers to bend over backwards to guess what you're really after. If you're serious about seeing what's out there and price is the biggest factor for you, get a 1-month subscription to GPAnalysis and see what grades are typically available in your price range. Once you know that, start a Want To Buy post in the appropriate forum (link it here for extra traffic) and state the grade or price range you're looking for. Stating either a grade range or a price range is fine, but leaving both out and stating that you're on a budget is a sure way to come up empty handed. Good luck!

I'm sure everyone else roots for books they have (this ones not my copy) to do well at auction. The 9.8 on heritage a few months back went surprisingly low. Surprisingly low? It sold for $27K! That was the highest ever recorded to my knowledge for a 9.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadH Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 First, I hope all of you are doing great! Long time no see! I'm selling off all my TMNT artwork and was going to give you guys the link to my Gobbledygook #1 and #2 framed with bills of sale! I'll also be listing the amazing Gobbledygook #2 cover page!! Let me know if you're interested on the piece up on eBay as I'm always taking offers and will pull it down. Hope you guys have a great day!!

Seeing that is what made me think the result in the auction was surprisingly low I guess. https://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-1-first-printing-mirage-studios-1984-cgc-nm-mt-98-white-pages/a/7066-91397.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 Ah, well offers are not consummated sales and shouldn't be counted as such, just like asking prices. Unless it closes it isn't a sale. That particular copy appears to have been sold at HA in 2012 for $17K, then the owner apparently was open to offers in 10/16 with an asking price set at $50K. I don't think $50K is too far away but we're not there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. This 9.6 (again, not mine) is at $21, 510! ($18K + buyer's premium). I think the last 9.6 high was around $14K so this is a huge increase. Ends 11/18.

In the big scheme of things the higher grades have had a looooong arc of price increases, much more so than the lower grades. I get it, more people can afford the 6, 7 and 8's. You see the same thing with the ASM and AF15 demand. I have no idea what the equilibrium price is of the high grades but just sheer availability dictates these to be higher than current prices (again, comparatively). Anyone have GPA on the 9.6? I thought it was 12-14K before this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
