That's what I figured, due to the bit of color rub on the back.

I think after fees my books would have only netted $240 so that is a fair price for a 8.5 tmnt 4 2nd print? I hope

 

[ADAMANTIUM]

@grendelbo?

Or anyone else? A press isnt going to help this? It has a thumb dent upper right edge of the front... not sure if sending this in for a signing and press will benefit...

I'm not seeing anything a press would help. It's all fair if you're happy with your trade/purchase.

8.5

[Geoff2099]

agreed on 8.5/9.0. Not a lot of sales to go by but at an 8.5 I'd say you're down just a smidge factoring in cgc fees and in a 9.0 you're at least broke even maybe in the money a smidge. A perfectly fair trade is what I say. (note I'm assuming your $240 valuation is accurate).

Amen thanks!

I went ahead and sprang for a press and Eastman sig.

X-men 5.5 last sold for $150

Asm 365 9.2 pretty steadily sells for $75

Batgirl 40 may be more like $40-60, but only cost me $1 so I through it in for good measure

I'm seeing 6.0's of TMNT sell for $200, so maybe slight edge to the LCS, which is fine.

I'm seeing TMNT 4 and print ss 9.0 sell for as much as 9.4's that may change eventually after everything dies down. I'm not going to have to sweat much   I hope haha

I just can't seem to get into TMNT stuff....maybe I'm just old. 

The X-Men #107 is more my speed. 

Good luck!! Keep us posted!!

I've had people say what I traded had more promise, true, no worries as the slabs and the raws all together cost me $$71 total, I feel since they were undercopies that I traded for a decent grade of another part of my hobby, that I only owned a 1st print of.

It's a book I didnt own, but hoping it still had "quality " to it is all 

[Geoff2099]

A good trade should feel like no one got a steal and no one got ripped off. To quote Comic book guy: I deem this trade rack-worthy.

[ADAMANTIUM]

Lol anymore opinions? This is finally pressed and signed by Eastman, but is stuck at GEI over the weekend.

I think the trade held out over time, but anticipating grades, anyone else or changed their mind?

[MrRoboto]

8.5-9.0

[Hulksdaddy1]

I'm seeing 9.0 all day bud. Heck, 9.2 if the grader got lucky the night before.

8.5 if there was a headache involved.

Nice book!

[ADAMANTIUM]

Odd that CGC positioned it at the edge, on purpose, but back from CGC.

 

[ADAMANTIUM]

It does have the QR code on the back!

[BDubs]

Very nice!!! 

[Albert Thurgood]

Looks so much better in the slab than in the original pics!
