Traded: CGC 4.0 AF15 and CGC 9.6 TMNT 1 1 1

[Junkdrawer]

The Af15 is a white pager with good eye appeal and no MC. No brainer. Now if its a chipped up cow raggedy AF15. I'm with the TMNT1

[hdiddy8706]

i like TMNT and probably would rather have that but AF15 probably got the better deal

[Conan_Aficionado]

131 in the census for the AF15 in 4.0 and more than 400 more in better grade. Blues

 

26 in the census for the TMNT in 9.6 with 12 in higher grade. Blues

 

The demand side of that equation would be even more one sided to AF 15.

 

The supply side too.

 

Things that are scarce or in short supply tend to be affected more by small changes in demand. A little demand could propel the TMNT a lot higher, while a little demand for the AF15 will hardly push prices higher in my opinion. This is the basic principle in price elasticity of demand.

 

 

There are 2087 total AF15 in the census.

494 total for the TMNT.

I should've added that my choice has nothing to do with investment or value. Just my personal preference.

 

But I have to agree, 150 9.8 copies of MOS 18 WOULDBEAWESOME!!!!!!

[THE_BEYONDER]

The TMNT is cool and all, but it's too 'fragile' an investment in comparison to a VG AF 15.

 

 

[Conan_Aficionado]

Absolutely, agree 100%

[The-Collector]

I am unclear how to respond to the poll. If I vote for TMNT, am I voting this was the better deal for the buyer or the seller. I would rather have the AF15, how do I vote ?

 

That's a great point. I didn't do an economic analysis, I just chose the one I would rather have. That seemed more interesting than going to GPA and checking the numbers.

 

Ditto

[Leescomics]

There are at least 20 nutters voting.

[stanley1883]

For real? Is this even a legitimate question? What about TMNT puts it in the same stratosphere as AF 15? I'm so lost.

[retrothecollector]

There's a lot of talk about the Turtles book being better. But if you look at the votes, doesn't look to good for the Turtles.

 

I say own both. But I chose AF 15 cause that's a better bet IMO.

[paperheart]

I would rather have the Turtles because low grade books are poopie.

 

my hero.

Turtles book. Way harder to come by, 4.0 AF15 is like having an X-force 1

No chipped up 3.0 masquerading as a 4.0

 

I don't have a desire to own either, but was enough of a SA Spidey fan when I was younger, that the AF #15 does have appeal for me. I have no interest in the Turtles and can't see ever wanting an issue #1. I passed when it came out, and I'll pass now. That being said, I can appreciate the relative scarcity of a 9.6 TMNT #1 vs. a 4.0 AF #15 and can see how it might have a stronger upside in the future.

[telerites]

I'd take AF 15 without any hesitation.

[chrisco37]

#3 book in the hobby vs. #1 Copper Book in HG.

 

No contest, the AF15.

[FineCollector]

High grade means nothing to me. Ten times out of ten, I take the AF15, but I'm sure both parties were happy with the trade.

[NinjaSealed]

I would say it was equal since they both ended up getting a book they liked more. Technically AF15 if you are going by current market.

 

If it was my money I would take the TMNT no contest.

[miraclemet]

If I have an AF15, I trade it for the TMNT #1

 

If I have the $9k and Im investing it, I invest it in the AF15 (what can I say I like the safe and steady investments)

 

If I win the right to choose one of the two books I'm taking the TMNT.

 

Its just so rare and still desirable in high grade that I'd love a chance to own one if Im betting with "house" money on it.

Even better stat I think.

 

2087 AF15 on census

3000 TMNT1 that have ever existed.

No contest, the AF15.
