sorrenmj Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Hi there, does CGC always indicate the page color of the graded comic? I am thinking about buying some CGC TMNT comics on eBay but noticed above their bar codes that there is no indication of page colour. Is it usual for CGC not to mention page color? Does anyone know?

Hello @ADAMANTIUM This is the link to the page. Maybe you could advise me, do you think this is a good purchase for 3,600 - seller would accept 3,400? It is from the UK but almost the entire run of volume 1? Thoughts? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254988394217 oakman29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the run individually would take time and energy + lots of shipping. Are you looking for nm copies? or are you looking for subbing candidates?

That is if you are buying for yourself, and not to flip. ThothAmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nice to look at them all together though. The "City At War" arc and covers are great. I still need a few issues from vol. 1. I'm now very slowly starting Vol. 4. It never stops... LOL.

I was thinking about buying them for future resale and wasn't sure if this is a good purchase with them being almost a complete run of volume 1? I do have a second printing of #1 I could perhaps include wit the set and perhaps in a few years may double in price? How's your volume 4 collection coming along? Which issues do you need?

Are you saying 1,2,4 would cost me $2500 each or $2500 for all three? I was thinking about buying the complete run as an investment for future resale. I sort of foresee that eventually the first and second print of #1 will be out of reach for most people who will then hunt the third printing which will then go the way of the first two prints. Eventually the first three prints will become very expensive. People will just want that #1 cover! oakman29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have issues #1 and #15 of Vol. 4 at the moment. I'm trying to finish my Vol. 1 run but it's super hard with the remaining issues I need. I still need #11, #13, #16, #28 and 62. I'm doing it in 9.8 grade so those last 5 issued are very tough to get. Also need a #1 first print. Amy grade at this point. LOL.

sorrenmj Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I am reading that people really don't like color touch. What is it about color touch people don't like? If it is not possible to tell whether color touch has been done or not then why would it matter? I would like to know so I can bare this in mind if ever buying a comic which has been color touched. Thanks for any insight oakman29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really proud of my books, but there's a few people here in this thread that put me to shame. But I'm happy with what I have and have a few of them to thank for helping me with my collection so far. 😎❤🐢 sorrenmj and DPV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
