Ryan. Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I still think people's different uses of "sale" and "sell" are dependent on regional dialect. It's the only explanation I can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bid would have been a winner and now Doug is trying to have me buy the 9.8 at $215k so the guy pays for the auction. That’s not how this works. I'm not sure I understand, you were both bidding on a #1 1st print 9.8 and the other bidder had to sell his copy he already had at the same price? Do you happen to have the CGC# for the one that actually sold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you happen to have the CGC# for the one that actually sold? Sounds like there was a #1 9.8 Signature that was auctioned for $223k. The winner of that auction decided he wanted to sell his #1 9.8 Universal first before paying for the SS. Im thinking he asked Doug for help on that end, at which point he reached out to the underbidder, BDubs, to see if he wanted a Universal 9.8 athis max bid of 215K. But BDubs does not want to spend the same 215K on a Universal when he could have (potentially) won a SS for the same price and declined. Which leaves the current "winner" in a bit of a jam... Did he ultimately pay the 223K for the SS? Maybe he gave Doug his blue..? Of course this is all speculation. Which is seems appropriate here in this official TMNT speculation thread!

tvindy Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 My 9.6 TMNT #1 is about to go up for auction on Clink:https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FPREVIEW.ASP%3Fcode%3D2022may%26pg%3D2%23Item_1560433&id=1560433&itemType=0 Before the stock market and crypto crash, I predicted that it would go for about $80,000. Now I don't know, but I'm betting it will go for less than that. I'd be curious to know what you guys think. sorrenmj, The Comics Trip and BDubs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all collectables will take a beating now I’m glad I sold when I did ( not Tmnt but in general ). The world is a very unstable place and the economy in North America a steaming pile of dung. Money won’t stay parked in collectables if other tangible assets are plummeting . Hope you can get some good money but those crazy highs are long gone .

Then the crash happened just before the auction started. I'm still hoping to be pleasantly surprised. ADAMANTIUM and Subby1938 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you think the softer market doesn’t affect the price at all? Nor the fact that a sig series 9.6 is on HA right now and Quinten’s 9.4 is on comicconnect and all three hammer roughly at the same time? I mean, I already have my 9.0 and not looking to upgrade, but if I’m parking 70k anywhere, I’m keeping my powder dry for quintens book due to the history. tvindy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
