Archon_Turtle Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 An incredible amount of patience, a considerable amount of money, and even more luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toitle Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thanks for the welcome! I have some semi-nifty (and rare) TMNT #1 stuff I've been sitting on - will post soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Man Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Yes, I let this poor excuse for a TMNT collector/friend finagle this book out of my hands last night. Joking aside, Steph has been after this for a while now (like I think about 30 seconds after I secured it - literally), and with the discovery of the other Golds recently, I can only hope that sometime down the line I can pick up another. I wasn't planning on ever selling it, but if I was going to, Steph would've been at the top of the list. I think he got lucky that I'm hungry for some new art Which I suppose brings me to my next point where many have questioned why the sudden slab selloff. Couple with this Gold move, one might think something was wrong (personally) or that I was leaving the hobby. But fortunately neither is the case! All is well, thank God. I have simply decided to focus my energies and limited budget on my true passion- early Turtles art. Now of course, after all this, you probably have high expectation of what sort of art acquistion(s) I might make - well, let's hope I don't disappoint! At THIS point... I am pretty much expecting the cover art to one of the first 4 issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARiche503 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'm betting it costs right at $4,500, right Danny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I wouldn't say anything about it until I had it in-hand. My That said, I'm still looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Danny's collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say anything about it until I had it in-hand. My That said, I'm still looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Danny's collection. Thanks man!

DJB Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I wonder how much these comic prices will inflate (if any) after the movie reboot in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dupont2005 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I think the comic is so far removed from the pop culture icon that there will be little if any lasting impact. Toys may see a rise in interest though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebends1996-migration Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I think the movie is going to put the turtles back into the limelight a bit. But, besides that initial movie bump, I don't see the prices being affected that much. I think the long-term factor is changes in demographics. If people who read comics in the 80s-90s come back into the hobby, TMNT should pick up steam. Also, if some of the silver/gold collectors decide to venture into copper, I think you could see an uptick in prices. It's pretty unanimous among collectors that TMNT 1 is the most important copper book (if not most important, it's at least on everyone's copper key list).
