spracknetch23 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Yeah, I have that book and the reprint of the 2nd printing is actually a pretty awesome printing. Not $2k awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to get mine signed by Eastman at a convention. All the inserts and attachments are such a cool bonus. If I was the seller of that $2k auction I don't think I'd go through with the sale. Assuming it wasn't troll bids, that thing is gonna get returned. Icculus308win and sorrenmj 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subby1938 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 He must have been tipped off or maybe they are reading this thread . In any case I have feeling this seller is getting boned on this sale BeardedBubba and sorrenmj 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardedBubba Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Relisted it for $1,000 buy it now. The seller is officially a scumbag in my opinion now. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-1-2nd-Print-/255043973707?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 Gump24601, Icculus308win and sorrenmj 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would feel bad for the seller if he wasn't trying to pull a fast one with the new listing. He doesn't "think" it's an original second print. Mmmhmm.

All anyone has to do is purchase several copies of the visual book and then sell the bundled #1 reprint for $100 plus to make it worthwhile. The visual book is still widely available BeardedBubba 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sorrenmj Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Would it be worth contacting the seller to inform that the reprint is bundled with a $50 visual book? Then they can't say ''I don’t think that this is an original 2nd print. I don’t know much about this comic.'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMG1 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Just catching up on this thread and that re-listed item is the most ridiculous mea culpa ever "...2nd print,... not sure it's an original second print" w/ an interior shot to boot to prove you can be sure it's not a second or original second. Buyer beware. Btw, is a 2nd print of a 2nd print a 4th print? :P sorrenmj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spracknetch23 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 What’s the point? Even if someone does buy it for $1k, they’ll know something isn’t right once they receive the book. And if they don’t, then they shouldn’t be spending $1k on a 2nd printing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvindy Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) The 9.6 TMNT #1 with white pages on HA just finished for $66,000. A few days ago, a 9.6 with ow to white pages sold for $78,000. Does this mean that TMNT #1 has peaked and is starting to crash? If so, what is the cause? I find this very surprising given the scarcity of the comic and the cultural relevance of TMNT. https://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/alternative-underground/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-1-mirage-studios-1984-cgc-nm-96-white-pages/a/7246-91047.s?type=DA-DMC-GoCollect-Comics-7246-09082021&gcv=b556f5c6-0185-46a9-9aeb-b460d36ffa40 https://www.comicconnect.com/item/924372?tzf=1 Edited September 8, 2021 by tvindy added links pubmonkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
