What about the two signature series that sold nearly at the same time, (on eBay?) For $50,000 a piece? Compared to blue label that was $100k+?

I didn't know if those sales ever went through, but sounded like someone needed the money idk 😐🤣

Ebay sales for $50K you say? Hmmmm...those stick about as often as a brick thrown at a rock wall.  Seriously though, I went through my data and don't have any yellow label sales from ebay for anywhere near that price. It's not to say they don't exist - just that I haven't seen it and have no record.

Starting to see a couple of #3 Variant "White Laird" cgc 9.6s in ebay auctions... also see a 9.8!  Price offered declined however...  Looks like overall the non key common collection has taken some deep cuts in value.

Hmm, I'm not caught up on the recent stuff (still haven't read Last Ronin, but it's on my to-do list). Could be an interesting take if done well though, I'm intrigued.

So, I was fortunate enough to buy a TMNT #1 first print off the stand in 1984.  35 years later I sent it off to get it graded and got it back as a 9.0, registry number 1998931001.  I foolishly sold it a few years back and I'm looking to re-acquire it.  It ANYONE might have an idea where this book is, I'd love the opportunity to talk to the current owner and see what could be done to pry it away.  Thanks!

The $88k was on CC. That one was crazy! Just kept going up.

A little Heritage re-cap, there were 3 high grade 1st prints that just sold, 9.0, 9.4 and a 9.6 on 3/30/23 and 4/1/23.

The 9.0 sold for $18K. No prior history available for this copy. This is a $500 (3%) drop from the most recent sale of $18.5K on 1/16/23 at Comic Link. The previous sale to that was on 12/13/22 for $23K. So the trend is slowly moving down. https://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-1-mirage-studios-1984-cgc-vf-nm-90-white-pages/a/7339-94356.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515

The 9.4 sold for $28.8K.  This 9.4 used to be listed on Ebay for ~$50K and was last sold in 2016 for $7,500. This recent sale is a $8,382 (23%) drop from the most recent sale of $37.2K on 6/10/22 at Comic Connect. The previous sale to that was on 4/8/22 for $36K at Heritage. The trend is also down, but steeper than 9.0's. https://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-1-mirage-studios-1984-cgc-nm-94-white-pages/a/7339-92162.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515

The 9.6 sold for $54K. No prior history available for this copy. This is a $10.8K (25%) increase from the most recent sale of $43.2K on 6/17/22 at Heritage. Previous sale to that was $69K on 4/7/22 also at Heritage. The trend is up but could be more stabilizing since that $69K sale was so high relative to the most recent sales. The $43.2K sale shows the perils of auctions for sellers. https://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-1-mirage-studios-1984-cgc-nm-96-white-pages/a/7339-91043.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515
