Schmakt Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I gathered, from the announcement on the homepage, that this is just them getting more copies of the 1st print (whatever that means) We've also gotten some more copies of "TMNT Collected Book Volume One" in - you can order it here. Since this book has been selling for crazy money on eBay, we are not offering any discounts on multiple copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen the first one with that cover before so I don't know much about it. Looks like it is probably oversized. The second one is comic book sized and published recently. They both seem to reprint the same stuff. EDIT: Most likely different publishers too. First published these colorized reprint trades back then Mirage also published some collected volumes with painted covers that looked really cool too. The first one I believe reprints #1-11 with the one shots as well. Edited January 25, 2010 by dupont2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one is one of the first collected books that came out. The second one, which Mirage is now selling, contains the same thing EXCEPT it also contains the full Fugitoid issue so it actually has one extra book in it (and a book that is critical to an early storyline).

MootShroot-migration Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Just letting everyone interested know that a turtlemania Silver edition surfaced last night. I have no intention of spamming so I wont post a link but it can be found on a very popular auction site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Perhaps those who make the CGC labels weren't aware that there are 3 different versions of this book (regular, silver, and gold). To my knowledge, the stock on the regular and silver edition are slightly different, but the difference may not be too noticeable when a side-by-side comparison can't be made. The census makes no note of different versions, so this one looks like it was graded as a signed regular edition. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMNT Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) Yea, I've seen another one, graded a 4.0 BLUE with "Silver Edition" written on the label. He should have made note of this when he submitted maybe. On a related note, I'm thinking about doing Walk-thru with my Gold just to see what the grade would be.

cyberjad Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Already saw it. Planning on winning it. Appreciate the heads up, though. Ended at $949...solid price I just dont get why that book is valued so high. I mean a qualified 7.0 signed wont get a grand and unless its a good deal we dont see a lot of blue label 7.0s going for that price. Sure there is a very limited supply for this book, but why such a demand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon_Turtle Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hoping that Adam won it. I won the book. (Sorry Peter! You know I love you!) I just dont get why that book is valued so high.

Sure there is a very limited supply for this book, but why such a demand? The book's qualified status is an error in my opinion, as they fact that it is signed and numbered is 50% of what defines it as a silver edition. I have already started a thread in the Ask CGC section explaining the situation and asking if I can resubmit the book for a label correction (Danny, if you could provide me with a photo of that 4.0 blue label silver you saw that would be totally helpful). As for demand...the book ran 100 copies, and of those 100 the tmnt collector community at large knows of 5 (including this one). That's pretty darn rare.

TMNT Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Danny, I wish you luck on it - I'm dying to hear & see the results! I already have one or I would have been all over this!

As for demand...the book ran 100 copies, and of those 100 the tmnt collector community at large knows of 5 (including this one). That's pretty darn rare. Well, its not exactly an error I believe. You see, any book that gets signed without being witnessed and then sent in is elgible for the Qualified grade (Thus all Silvers and Golds fit in this category inherently). From what I understand though, is that a signed book can get a LOWER Blue lable grade then it would have as a QUALIFIED grade in that they consider the the writing/sigs a defect, much like a bend, crease, etc. so it would lower the grade. So for instance my Blue lable 9.2 1st print of #1 with sigs COULD be say a 9.4 Qualified. I'm not exactly sure if thats how it works, but I think its something like that. So if you sent in your 7.0, it might come back a 6.0 Blue or so depending on how much they mark off. Again, I'm not certain on any of this. And yes, this IS a very rare book and worth the $1000 IMO. I have owned or sold 4 of the copies out there, with the other 4.0 blue being the only one I know of that has not been in my possession. I'll dig around for a photo Steph.

Turtle Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hoping that Adam won it. I won the book. (Sorry Peter! You know I love you!) No problem. I put a bid in on it in the final seconds, but I didn't even clear the reserve, so it just wasn't meant to be...this time. Next time may be a different story. (thumbs u I'm just happy to see that TMNT fandom is still so strong. Well, its not exactly an error I believe.

I have owned or sold 4 of the copies out there, with the other 4.0 blue being the only one I know of that has not been in my possession. I'll dig around for a photo Steph. You're right on all counts. Like it was mentioned earlier, it is likely that the submitter didn't mention on the invoice that it was a Silver Edition. Being that the book is so rare, it's possible that the fact that it was a Silver Edition slipped by the graders when the label was printed. If I had won the book, I would have sent the book to the CGC for a label correction. If I pointed it out, I'd likely only have to pay for shipping since it was a label error. Some people HATE green labels, but personally, I don't mind them on items like this. I don't see the signatures as a defect, so a 7.0 is the structural grade of the book. If you submit it for a blue label, it may come back as a 6.0 or so, but the signatures will be counted as defects and in my opinion the label wouldn't accurately reflect the grade of the book since there are no Silver Editions that aren't signed. I'd say change it to blue only if green really bugs you. My Hanging around the signature room, I've seen some cool qualified books that are green labeled because of signatures. Jerry Siegel on a 9.8 Action 1 reprint and Steve Ditko on an X-men reprint are two of my favorites. In my mind, the qualified label makes books like these stand out a little more since they were impossible to get in any other label without being counted as a defect. Besides, you couldn't get a more appropriate color for a TMNT book. Congrats on the win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
