The original TMNT #4 was published in June 1985. In 1987 a second printing of #4 was ordered from the printers with a new cover. This was submitted to the printers along with the first issue of Tales of the TMNT #1. Unfortunately a printing mix-up occurred and TMNT #4 (2nd print) was produced with the correct title and number on the cover but had the cover art meant for Tales of the TMNT #1 instead.

 

According to a Mirage source the comic was recalled with around 1,000 surviving the recall and 59,000 being pulped! Only 1,000 books have survived (the 1st printing of #1 has a print run of 3,000 which should make this book 3x MORE RARER than the #1).

 

I'm asking $450 shipped anywhere in the US with tracking and insurance. First :takeit: posted in this thread wins the book. (thumbs u

According to a Mirage source the comic was recalled (yet to be added to the CGC Registry set) with around 1,000 surviving the recall and 59,000 being pulped! Only 1,000 books have survived (the 1st printing of #1 has a print run of 3,000 which should make this book 3x MORE RARER than the #1).

 

I LOVE this book! :cloud9:

 

I'm not sure I understand the bolded part, though. (shrug) This book is in the CGC registry.

 

And you're right, the number I hear thrown around for existing copies is 800-1000. It could also be mentioned that with no 9.8's, this is among the second highest-graded copies.
