I'm partial to the copy with interior sigs, the big, straight, beautiful interior sigs with Peter's standing out like a champ. I have to admit that I don't own a #1 with interior sigs but that was more about availability at the time I was in the market for one than preference.

I have to admit that I don't own a #1 with interior sigs but that was more about availability at the time I was in the market for one than preference. I think I prefer the signature versions as I swear this copy would have been signed at an early comic con when the second print was launched. I like that Pete’s signature is in purple pen. I also think a signed inside copy for the early prints is as close to the earliest tmnt days as they get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subby1938 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 With signatures on cover I dislike when the sigs are on top of the graphics . If they are along the black border ( which is very uncommon ) that’s nice but I think being inside keeps the cover appeal at a maximum and adds that special factor knowing they are inside . So I like inner more but wouldn’t pay extra for that sorrenmj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, but, if I could get my hands on a #1 with dual interior sigs I would pay much more than if it were a yellow label without. Love sigs inside, regardless of book.

At the moment it suggests it’s a true second print and could be seen as misleading. Updating it as they have isn’t clear enough, especially if the highest bidder placed their bid before the update. If it was me I’d pull the listing and start again making it clear it’s the free reproduction that came with a visual book. There’s no way someone is spending over $1,000 for a reprint of a second printing. This will most likely double or triple by tomorrow’s end of auction. It’s over $1200 now and ending in 9 hours. I can’t watch. sorrenmj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subby1938 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 What that would do for 8.5,9,9.2,9.4,9.6 would be mind boggling . Over night those grades could double in value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
