Is $1000 less a realistic dropoff for a 9.8 in off-white vs white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sorry I don’t know why it does that Meant to say I bought a TMNT #2 9.6 condition first print wasnt sure if it was a decent prize or not considering I’ve just stumbled on como link for auctions only reasons I’m back to buying comics is because I could have bought a #1 turtles first print 9.8 for 4000 almost 10 years ago thought I’d might not want to miss the comic boat again BDubs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 9.6 at just over 1k seems good to me. Congrats! BDubs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDubs Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 So, my brain in action... see if this makes any sense... There are several low quantity CGC 9.8 in the TMNT Mirage Studios First Run 84' - . I have seen a couple CBCS 9.8 out in the wild that I could get my hands on to THEN have pressed and Submitted at CGC for the 9.8 status to help in my quest of having all issues in CGC 9.8 respectively. Has anyone tried this idea prior? I know I know there is the apparent risk associated with this idea of it grading down but stubborn is stubborn and the quest must be fulfilled as prophesized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 as good an idea as any I suppose. BDubs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sckao Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I had this same idea with Sonic the Hedgehog... Many issues with zero HG copies in the census, but if there are no Registry completionists out there, there may be no demand. TMNT is a more popular media franchise, of course, and more comic-book based vs Sonic, although both have movies and video games based on their characters.

Given my history of selling books and then a year later watching the prices sky rocket, I predict Sonic the Hedgehog will take off in value sooner than later. I still have two issue's of the initial 1993 series of 4, before the main series began. One slabbed copy of issue #2 and this raw copy of issue #3. This issue does have a small spine crease by the upper staple so it's not slab worthy IMHO. ADAMANTIUM and MetalPSI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozentundraguy Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 While I'm interrupting the TMNT thread for a bit I might as well show my slabbed copy. It's not CGC and not voldemort. It was graded as a 9.6. MetalPSI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDubs Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Comiclink Auction nearing its ending for a few key TMNT Mirage Studio issues. Game on for the CGC 9.8 2nd Print.

Not to come out of left field, but is there any hope for 2nd print TMNT #2? even in 9.8? I like that the First issue gets all the attention, but again with albedo as well, after the 1st appearance of the main characters the turtles, it kind of dwindles. No love for April?

Mousers and etc? I don’t see why not? It’s still a magazine sized issue which appeals to TMNT collectors like myself. On the other side #2 second print is more of a book for completists not the person who collects major keys across various titles. Just my opinion of course.

It's tough the thought, that like myself (a fan of TMNT) that it is seemingly, a somewhat passerby.
