Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 First Print! CGC 6.0

[thebends1996-migration]

To fund another possible purchase, I need to sell my recent Turtles acquisition. It was recently graded with super white pages! Obviously, there is a make an offer for a reason!

Oh man, I'd hold onto this book if you can! Unless you're buying an AF 15 or EARLY Golden Age Superman or Batman, this book is going to be a beast in the years to come!

Actually, it's a sale to try and upgrade haha. I just got back into the hobby and I think I'm going to focus my collection on mostly keys, with a few indie books here and there for my own personal taste. This is a book that I think will be ridiculous in 5-10 years just because the demographics that grew up with these characters will have some sort of disposable income by then. I was wanting to try and keep this copy as well, but I had an unfortunate incident at a softball game recently, which included me smacking the out of a ball and hitting a parked Lexus.

 

By the way, I read the history on the boards religiously and you have quite the collection of keys! I think my next step, after the turtles book, is something like a TOS 39 or Incredible Hulk 1. I want an Amazing Fantasy, but the price on those are just a bit too insane for me.

 

Since you like the TMNT so much, want an extra copy?

i want it, but probably won't get it for what I'd want to pay for a 6.0

Well, thanks. Most of my stuff is on the lower end of the spectrum so nothing like most of the big collectors' books--but I like 'em that way. Gives them a sense of personality, I think.

 

And congrats on the sale--looked to be a very solid going price for your book! Plus... it gives me an idea on my SS 6.0 copy

 

Honestly, if you are at all interested in getting a copy of AF 15, now is the time to buy it. Actually, this time last year was the time to buy, but you could probably still get on board before that trains start picking steam back up again. SA Marvel keys are great--and relatively safe for investing time and energy (and money) in--as safe as any other book out there outside of GA Bats and Supes.

 

Now, do you have a particular TMNT #1 in mind for your upgrade or just building the warchest?

I advise on only collecting af15 and turtles 1. At one point I was doing both. But I sold all my turtles 1 to concentrate solely on af15s. Turtles 1 is the one and only Grail worth collecting from the copper age IMHO
