Xenosmilus Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) I just looked and I have a high grade (probably 9.6/9.8) #16. Is it worth getting graded and slabed? Looks like there isn’t a lot in the census. Is that because it’s hard to find or no one wants it? 😂 No recent sales on a 9.8 either other than an SS one in 2018, any ideas on what one would go for?

Does anyone recognize it, or is it the previous owner practicing for when they'll be a movie star? Any help would be appreciated! Mushroom Dong, of course!

Subby1938 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 It’s a tough black cover . If it comes back 9.8 it was worth it . Ultimately it depends on what you’re doing with it the cost of grading , may not yield a big return if it’s just a flip . I’m seeing great numbers on eBay auctions for issues 5-10 in 9.8 but I don’t know how long this will last but generally getting 9.8 is not easy with these early turtle books.

BeardedBubba Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I'd slab it. I don't think the hype has pushed into the later books yet. But I agree with Subby1938...Books 5-10 are pushing up in value now too. I think it's worth rolling the dice on almost any of the volume 1 books that could be a 9.8.

I submitted the first 9.8 of that book. The black cover makes it tough to find in 9.8. It's also a Mark Martin story, so it's disjointed from the main Mirage narrative. It's definitely worth the submission if it has a chance at a 9.8. It likely won't hit the same price as 9.8 that was worked on by the main Mirage guys early in the run, but you should still do pretty well if you decide to sell. Even a 9.6 should have no problem selling for more than the grading fees. Xenosmilus and Icculus308win 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subby1938 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I agree with all that was stated . If you feel it looks the part I’d send it in . Finding these high grade raw books in the wild is getting tougher to do. Xenosmilus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenosmilus Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Thanks guys! I try and put up a photo of the back cover later tonight to see what you think. I find the turtle books harder to grade because of the paper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenosmilus Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) Damn, maybe not a 9.8. I didn't notice the bottom left corner (front cover), press may get it out (no color break, it's the lighting). The back looks OK to me though!

Icculus308win Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Yeah that book is beyond tough to find in 9.8. Still a great copy 🤘 Xenosmilus and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icculus308win Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Both my boys are big into sports cards, graded esp/PSA, but those one touch magnetic ones for their cards just under their slabbing tier. Happen to see at the card store they had a three pack of comic ones, so bought it and decided to put my three fave Ronin Covers in them.They are pretty convenient and cool I have to say. No scratches on any of them🏆 ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EN4CER Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Guys I need some advice. I have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures 1 CGC 9.8 direct and newsstand version. I’m contemplating on selling them. I’ve noticed that the price has skyrocketed on eBay. Anyone know why? I’m worried I sell them and they continue to climb and I end up feeling like . I’m a collector foremost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subby1938 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I find it hard to believe you don’t know why they are valuable ? First app of Krang, Beebop Rocksteady and colour bandanas. It was undervalued key that took off. That’s it . Selling is totally your decision nobody knows the future on any comic . It’s def great time to make money on them if you paid little for these .
