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

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.
