What are those label notes on the 9.0 and the TMNT 1? I can't make them out. Just curious.

The books are signed by Pete and Kev on the indica.  Notes say "Kevin B. Eastman" and "Peter Laird" written on inside. which is how CGC treats signatures on the inside of the book.

Nice mail call today....TMNT 2 9.8 Double Signed (2nd Print)image.thumb.png.5095b83e36afbc7728e60368243e4acf.png

It doesn't get better than that! Do you know when the interior signatures were signed, were they back in 1985?

Sadly I don't - it was part of a collection I picked up. Heres some more:image.thumb.png.18b765a33237da1fd0af991357f4f6bd.png

That's awesome! Not to prattle or I'd ask if you waited until this, but that sounds like the perfect sub if you were able to wait until the price change with cgc?

I say this as I sent in a magazine soon after the change that might be back here soon!

Save at least "some" dough as it went down for modern mags like $10 doh!

Makes me wonder why I had waited all those years, guess it paid off 😂

All around congrats though!

A couple of #1 9.8's in upcoming auctions:

ComicLink #1 9.8

ComicConnect #1 9.8

There are now 42 copies in 9.8 and 70 in 9.6. Do you think the growing population will have a negative or positive impact on the values?

 

The ComicLink 9.8 last sold on Heritage for $192K just over a year ago on 6/16/2022. 

The ComicConnect is a first time on the public market that I can see from my database.

I think the ratio of 9.8 to 9.6 is not a negative for values. The overall # has grown but the numbers are still very small relatively.

:cheers:

I hope the comic link one clears it's Heritage price... I'd be a bit nervous selling so soon. It hasn't started yet so we will have to wait for play by play.

$23k so far on the CC copy...

What's with the large white smudge marks on the back cover photo here?  :p

Looks like somebody placed something on top of the CGC holder and definitely not appealing for a $192K book.  doh!

Exactly. Someone had something either heavy or abrasive on the case. Not smart.

It's a simple but stressful fix. Reholder to CGC but with loads of insurance and painful wait until its back safe.

ComicLink does not seem like the best venue for a book of that caliber 

I wasn't sure of your comment so I checked my database of TMNT #1 1st prints for sales of 9.8's only. You may be correct, there appears to be a discount to selling on Clink versus Heritage and Comic Connect, at least for the 9.8 grade. Here are a few examples:

Heritage: 11/21/19 $52.8K

Clink: 12/5/19 $50K

 

CConnect: 4/30/20 $59K

Clink: 7/7/20 $58K

 

Clink: 12/9/21 $198K

CConnect: 12/14/21 $231K

True but don't forget that that Heritage takes a higher percentage too.  20% vs 10%

Closer to 30%.  10-6% of the hammer price (depending on price), plus the full BP.  So on a 52.8K final, you're looking at 27% of that sale going to Heritage.
