Up in the Shed. Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Hello, How much might one expect to get for a TNMNT #1 3rd Printing signed by both Laird and Eastman? Thanks!

revat Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) For an idea, go on eBay and look up past sales compare pictures and grades to match yours. make sure you factor in fees and other costs like shipping or taxes it makes a difference if signed raw or CGC SS or other certifications. But add maybe $25 to $100 from the unsigned version good luck Edited December 9, 2020 by revat Up in the Shed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Raw, or CGC'd, or...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro. Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 TNMNT? Is that the Teenage New Mutant Ninja Turtles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up in the Shed. Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Hi Revat, Thanks for the response! I was thinking to get the comic graded too. Seeing as how you’re a veteran do you think I should go that route first instead of try my luck on Ebay? The comic looks to be in great condition and is signed by both the creators. It was given to me as a gift from them after having sent out for a pewter ninja turtle figurine and never receiving it. After pouting to my mother months later that I never got the figure she said I should write them a letter so I did. Then a few weeks later I received the signed comic in the mail. Pretty neat. Been sitting in the sleave since 88. Thanks again. UpintheShed comicdonna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up in the Shed. Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) It’s a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 3rd Printing from 1985 signed on the inside cover by both Laird and Eastmen in different pen inks dated 1988. Going to get it graded soon. Edited December 10, 2020 by Up in the Shed. Wrong grade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its in great raw condition. Going to get it graded soon. I’m not saying you should or shouldn’t get it graded, but just know that if you go w Cgc the signatures will not be authenticated and it will not be in the Cgc SS program. And the book would be enclosed so physically seeing the signatures would be impossible. in fact, depending on Grade of book, size, and location of signatures, Cgc might actually downgrade The book from signatures. so factor that into your math. It’s not automatically worth it to get it graded. I’d post pictures here first and seek advice. Arkham and Up in the Shed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I had them as guest at a convention in 1987 and they signed everything on the splash pages, not the cover so CGC will not knock the book down for that. You will get a blue label that notes that the names are written on the front page, but there is no way of knowing who wrote them. I think I would not slab the book if it were mine.

Up in the Shed. Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Please tell me more about what I have if you would? I'm new to this as you can see. Obviously I'm unaware of the grades and terminology. Thanks. UpintheShed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkham Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Hey @Up in the Shed., Revat’s advice above is bang on. I’d post your pics in the following subforum and ask for help grading it: https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/forum/42-hey-buddy-can-you-spare-a-grade/ The boardies who lurk in that subforum will advise and also suggest whether it would be worth giving it a press to help flatten out some of those bends and waves.
