That is literally my favorite comic, can't beat it. What do we think the CGC 9.4 #1 on Comic Connect starting in a few days will go for? It has the same sigs on the interior. It's been a while since a 9.4 sold as far as I can tell. I think 50k+ given the 9.6 with sigs at 88. But who knows. Maybe closer to 40 if the sigs don't mean as much. I guess the sigs mattered! 58.5k is by far a record for a 9.4. And shows that the 88k for the 9.6 WP sigs on inside in April wasn't a fluke. The next time a 9.8 goes to auction it's going to be quite a show. Especially if it has sigs on the inside like these.

DPV Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Same auction there were some other interesting data points: TMNT #1 6.5 - $12,700 TMNT #1 7.5 - $16,100 TMNT #3 NYCC Variant 9.6 WP - $8,400 - Sigs on inside. This went higher than the 9.6 SS #3 Variant from Kevin Eastman's Collection recently on Comic Link for $5,532. There's definitely evidence over the last 6 months that sigs on the inside by the creators add a premium. pubmonkey, jeranimal and Icculus308win 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid more for no sigs or blue label notes. (And no, sigs do not "add" $20k in value to anything .) -J.

Sigs or not - 🎩 off on your guesstimate! 🏆 I totally forgot about this one on the block. I didn’t tag/mark (auctions are so damnn long) and spaced it.

pubmonkey Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) what is this? Ebay 2nd print (counterfeit?) Quote You are buying Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 2nd Print. This comic is a reprint of the 2nd print. I don’t know much about this comic. I have been collecting comics for 20 years and I decided to start selling my collection. (I am not a professional grader.) huh??? sounds ambiguous and deceitful Edited June 28, 2021 by pubmonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That listing isn't directly deceitful but certainly isn't going out of its way to be upfront about what it is. tvindy, DPV, pubmonkey and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeardedBubba Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Yeah, if they know anything about TMNT comics they're gonna be pissed when they get it in hand. I've seen that version posted more than a few times now as a second print. I feel like it's going to keep happening. CGC calls it the "Insight editions" (2018) if anybody wants to look it up in the census. pubmonkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse-Lee Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Just snagged a 9.2 4th print off eBay on a best offer. Probably the closest I'll ever get to a true #1; but I think I did ok price-wise. Just have to keep an eye out for 2-4 and I'll have the run of the first 10 - I think 2-4 first print aren't out of reach yet for my budget, but even a #1 3rd print was getting spendy for me... pubmonkey, Gump24601, BeardedBubba and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the seller added an update at least: On Jun-30-21 at 21:47:20 PDT, seller added the following information: To let everyone know that this comic is a reprint. Not an original 2nd print.

I would say it's safe to assume most of the interior signatures were done at the NYCC in 1985. It would be hard to pinpoint any other issue getting signed at a particular event. Many thanks for posting this. My NYC variant is signed by both KE/PL and was wondering if this would be the case pubmonkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
