Personally, I think these sky rocketing price were unsustainable and are settling back down to more realistic prices. I think the 9.8 will go between $150 - $180k. Still amazing price gains compared to a few years ago. sorrenmj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping still for 200+ here... and I think it will get that. There's such a premium on 9.8s. We'll see tvindy, sorrenmj and GM8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subby1938 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I think the turtles are slightly cooling and this auction won’t hit 200K mark. Just putting my horse in race here for fun . DPV and sorrenmj 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 9.8 should be no more than about 2-2.5× a 9.6 IMO. -J. sorrenmj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was quite a bit of talk about 9.8 #1s and specifically CC’s 9.8 Nov auction book. I talked to handful of gents who have no doubts that book will reach $200,000+. Couple legit hombres who said they’d pay whatever it takes for one. So now I’m really gonna be as I watch the auction and possibly eating a crapp load of crow upon hammer price. PS If any Turtle guys n gals are going to the con, make sure to check out “Red Hood Comics” booth. Rob is a helluva nice guy, with a shiat load of TMNT books. Like….a whole wall of em Never seen so many slabbed TMNT books at a booth! I had so much fun talking to him that I didn’t take a single pic. I know, I know - this post sucks without pics, I’m sorry everyone - totally my bad Edited October 16, 2021 by Icculus308win Parabellum, ADAMANTIUM and BDubs 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsouxlja7 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Curious to hear others thoughts on TMNT1 1st print. It's a book I've had on my list of "books to sell" but I am trying to time the best exit point. I'd just be reinvesting the money in the S&P 500. Do you think it has more upside potential in the short term or is now a good time to sell? I have a CGC 8.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see That's a great point and one I've observed with this book and many others over this market boom. The 9.8's relationship to price has shot up multiples while all the lower grades have shot up as well, but not by as much. This 11/22/21 auction is of the same book that just "sold" for $245K on 9/1/21. So the sale likely fell through and the original owner is auctioning it this time.

It was graded on 8/5/2021 (the November one) so either its a CPR or someone submitted a raw book and hit the JACKPOT. Icculus308win 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a CGC 6.5 listed for sale on mycomicshop for three weeks now. I've gradually lowered the price with almost no interest. I've decided to just sell it directly to Mycomicshop. I'd say hold if you don't really need the money right away. rsouxlja7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAY1979 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) How about Mirage TMNT issue 6? Not sure why but one of the more difficult to score a 9.8. Lowest CGC 9.8 population (only 63) of issues 2-8 and there are double the amount 9.6's (141) as 9.8.

It's $2500 behind the 8.0 that ends around the same time tomorrow, so it looks like it's having a negative effect.

Hulksdaddy1 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 The notation on the 8.5 about the 3" tears on page 8 & 9 tonight hurt it quite a bit. Only went for $258 more than the 8.0. https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FSEARCH.ASP%3FFocusedOnly%3D1%26where%3Dauctions%26title%3DTEENAGE%2BMUTANT%2BNINJA%2BTURTLES%2B%231%26GO%3DGO%26ItemType%3DCB%23Item_1515906&id=1515906&itemType=0 https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FSEARCH.ASP%3FFocusedOnly%3D1%26where%3Dauctions%26title%3DTEENAGE%2BMUTANT%2BNINJA%2BTURTLES%2B%231%26GO%3DGO%26ItemType%3DCB%23Item_1518781&id=1518781&itemType=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsouxlja7 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 These two sales and another recent 8.0/8.5 sale have made it clear that Clink isn't the venue to use to maximize selling price for this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
