PGM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 (3rd Printing) 1 1

[The Savage Manc]

Hi there, I wondered if I could draw on the collectives expertise and if you could all cast your eye over my recently acquired TMNT#1. It has been a personal grail for a long time and although I know it’s not in the best condition, I wondered if somebody could give me an idea of the potential grade, as I am looking to encapsulate it to protect it from further degradation. Any advice/opinions would be very much appreciated! Thanks and I look forward to reading your comments, Mike

Need the back cover too, especially given the "heavy" creasing on that corner. I use the scare quotes b/c the black cover really makes these stand out and might not be as pronounced if it was on a different color background.

Thanks for the reply! I’ve added a photo of the back, hope this helps! Thanks again

There are some indentions on that back especially that would likely press out. I'd set an upper limit of 6.0 based on the creases, but my quick survey of listings shows that 6.0s of this book typically don't have this level of creasing, so I'm more like 5.0/5.5

Thank you very much for your estimate, and I plan to get it cleaned/pressed, so hopefully that will help. Your advice is much appreciated! 👍🏻
