It went for $10k plus and I thought at the end the two or three people were going to continue higher bids after my stop around 8750. ... search is on. Seemed very high for final price. Let me know your thoughts on the value of a TMNT #10 First printing, 9.8, with SS? (and if you might be interested!?). I'm having a hard time finding a comp to figure out what I should price it at!!

Ryan. Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I'd guess about $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug from Pedigree got back to me on the 9.8 1st print that sold on 3/9/22 on his site: $223,000. It seems like these have hit a plateau around the $225-250K range. szucchini 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bid would have been a winner and now Doug is trying to have me buy the 9.8 at $215k so the guy pays for the auction. That’s not how this works.

BDubs Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I took the time to add descriptions and photos for my TMNT collection. I don’t know the process but it may be the most completed overall registry for TMNT Mirage Studios vol. 1. I continue to search for the 3-5 comics left to complete it. If anyone wishes to sell a comic that I’m missing I will pay premium. Thanks. TMNT and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the one I was bidding on was a Signature Series and from what I was emailed, the winner decided that he had to sell the Universal prior to payment of the SS #1 9.8... after the point. I am happy with the dozens of books I did win however. Great auction house, just not buying the Universal to help the db that changed the terms of auction. I digress. Thanks for allowing me to vent.

Wait I'm confused. What did the SS hammer at and what book were you being offered? Were they trying to sell you the Universal for the price of the SS??

Ryan. Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I still think people's different uses of "sale" and "sell" are dependent on regional dialect. It's the only explanation I can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I understand, you were both bidding on a #1 1st print 9.8 and the other bidder had to sell his copy he already had at the same price? Do you happen to have the CGC# for the one that actually sold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you happen to have the CGC# for the one that actually sold? Sounds like there was a #1 9.8 Signature that was auctioned for $223k. The winner of that auction decided he wanted to sell his #1 9.8 Universal first before paying for the SS. Im thinking he asked Doug for help on that end, at which point he reached out to the underbidder, BDubs, to see if he wanted a Universal 9.8 athis max bid of 215K. But BDubs does not want to spend the same 215K on a Universal when he could have (potentially) won a SS for the same price and declined. Which leaves the current "winner" in a bit of a jam... Did he ultimately pay the 223K for the SS? Maybe he gave Doug his blue..? Of course this is all speculation. Which is seems appropriate here in this official TMNT speculation thread!
