What do we all think about this?

Super strong price, makes me question its legitimacy hm

is it that strong? Heritage sold an 8.5 last year for $22,000. I know it’s not a yellow label but it’s pretty easy to tell Peter and Kevin’s signatures and head busts are real. So is it Really super strong for a 10% increase over last sale?

Good point. Last blue 8.5 sold for $18600 according to GPA, but that might be a low sale outlier. Overall, looks like TMNT books have decreased a bit, like everything else, so just seems funny for a green label book to go that high. (shrug)

Yea I get that, but green labels are weird to me. A lot of peters signings didn’t have a Cgc representative there so it wasn’t always easy to get a yellow label Peter book. (One of my Peter sigs is a Voldemort slab because they authenticated it)

I'm waiting on Voldy to grade mags so I can get this graded and authenticated :headbang:

I've been tracking this one. This one may set the floor or begin the bounce back. It's a strong bid for 8 days left.

In general I like how they make it so that the offer has to be a 50% premium to the cost paid, but I think when it gets to six figures that percentage can probably be relaxed.    Would the buyer really turn down a 275k offer made today?

186k....

A dip in the price for this book, but not to the doomsday levels some predict. Previous sale was $223,222 at Pedigree on 3/9/22, so this $186K sale is a 17% drop from that previous sale. Interestingly, this exact book (SN# 1262933001) last sold by my records way back on 11/20/2014 at Heritage also for a paltry $14,938. Oh to have a time machine!

Final sale price: $156K, a 16% haircut from the previous sale of $186K on 9/8/22 and a 37.6% discount from the all-time-high price of $250K set on 10/13/21 on Comic Connect. Is this the new bottom? Time will tell.

Does anyone know for sure if unsigned copies of a 9.8 or any grade are more desirable than the signed copies? Unsigned seems to be getting harder to find I'm finding

For the first prints at least, there isn't a discernable difference in pricing, from what I have witnessed (also, many early signatures were on the interior covers of these books). However, one book that sold on Comic Link back in 2021 was a large price dip from the going rate (both before and after). The only difference was that the particular book had blue/red and green signature and sketch all over the cover. I think people are turned off by overt defacing of covers with sigs.
