What ever happened to the Value of TMNT Books?

[diablo508]

I'm trying to sell some TMNT books (1st series) and appears that not to many people are into them....I thought these were sought after?....the movies hurt the comics that much?

Scarce issues (1 especially, 2-4 somewhat, gobbledygook 1&2) are doing just fine. #1 has sold for over $1K on eBay raw. Overproduced issues are cheap - too much supply.

 

Sleepers are #50-62 with the return of the original creative team and lower print runs.

[diablo508]

Hell, I'm selling 3 and 4 on Ebay right now (1st print and haven't even got so much as a email from any buyers.....I had some super low Buy it now prices on them just to move them out....

You misspelled "ninja" as "ninga" in both auction titles...I bet these books aren't even showing up on most collectors' searches as a result!

 

What condition are these books in anyway?

I have a TMNT book that I believed was a low print run, can anyone tell me if they know the book I am talking about, it is a 1"-1 1/2" thick book with the cover having the turtles in B&W ON COVER AND WRAPS AROUNG THE BACK, no words or text on outside of the book. I remember getting it when it first came out but have not seen it anywhere. HELP!

[diablo508]

who's it made by?....year?

[ELBRUJO]

Mirage Studios! 1984-88 one book first printing(just looked inside it carefully) it has never been opened before. I remember when I bought it the dealer/friend said there were only 3000 copies printed.

[diablo508]

not sure without a picture....but it sounds like a reprint, if it has the date 84-88...should just have 1984 listed if it was the primo #1 first print. I'm not sure when the reprint were done. What's the size of the comic?...regular comic size or magizine size?

 

 

 

 

 

 

[ELBRUJO]

7 3/4" x 9 3/4" BLACK AND WHITE COPY INSIDE AND OUT. 1" THICK

[Bronty]

Do you have a scan?

[ELBRUJO]

NO, but I can take a picture of it! I dont know how to add it to this forum but I can email it, or someone tell me how to put a picture here on the site so I know how to do it and I can put others in the future! THANKS

[diablo508]

you can attach it ...under where you type your post, there is a section called "Instant UBB Code" click on Image

 

 

 

[ELBRUJO]

It asks for an http: I dont have them uploaded anywhere I just took the picture and I have them in a file.

[diablo508]

whoops, sorry-------

 

 

 

 

 

try agian, after you type in the Post area, go down, make sure the box that says :

 

"I want to preview my post and/or attach a file" is checked and click continue..

 

...then you'll see the "browse" button, upload there....watch your size

 

 

hope this works

Gone now. I have a friend who I forwarded the scans to and he said he wanted them.

 

Cheers......

[diablo508]

I hope you identified them before you sold them! I was told earlier that #1 (1st print) sold for around $1000.00 on ebay

My mate is a big boy, he can make his own choices. He certainly wouldn't come to me for advice as my knowledge of anything past 1975 is zip. Sent him the scans and he said he could flip them. I didn't tell him what Donut's went for.

 

His dime.
