PGM TMNMT #1 3rd Printing(Signed).Grade and Value? 2 2

[Up in the Shed.]

Hello,

I'm curious about getting a general grade and possible value for this comic. It's a T.N.M.N.T #1 3rd Printing signed by Laird and Eastman on the inside cover.

Thanks to all the members who've helped me to get to this point. I'm Green as can be...

Thanks again.

First off, this book needs a press like no other book I've seen. It's almost too tough to grade without a press.

I'll hazard a 5.0 with a press, but that's really just...

 

...spitballing.

5.0 with  press I agree as for value a 5.0 sold on eBay for 475 but since this is more beat I’m gonna say 400 dollars +

Pre press I'll go 4.0. I have a 5.0 that presents much better than this copy. I dig those signatures.

I don't know about the grade, but I'd love to see Before & After photos of that book after pressing.

Thanks everyone for the notes. Sounds like a good pressing might be the move. I'm Looking into getting it pressed locally. Once I get it done I'll provide before and after pics.

It's 4.5 pre-press IMO.

As was mentioned, by Captain Obvious @oldrover, this desperately needs a press.

4.5 as is

5.5 after press

You guys are nuts. Look at that thing! Besides the obvious cover damage every page is damaged and it has water damage to the covers and pages, tide lines, brown pages, etc. I wouldn't be comfortable giving it more than a 2.0.

Okay Bizzarro-Dylan.

Yup. Maybe you need to look at it on something other than your phone.

4.0 as is press will  improve the grade

[Sauce Dog]

I honestly have this pegged at 4.5 after press, but I have been know to be wrong (but also right, soooo...YMMV)

I’m also 4.0-4.5 as is with an outside shot at 5.0. She got issues but there some room for improvement
