I would be curious to see a nice looking unrestored 0.5 to 2.0 cgc with nice pages come to auction. Especially a October copy☁️☺️✨ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage_Paper Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) I always have a laugh when an October Marvel Comics 1 shows up. It reminds me how Metropolis Comics would go on and on about comic collectors don't distinguish between multiple printings of Golden Age comic book keys and they are all worth the same as all that's important is it's the first issue. That was until they had an October Marvel Comics 1 they were selling. They did a complete 180 and went on an on about how important and more valuable the first printing is.

They sold out the first run. Then had to add November for the second printing. So a TMNT first and second have to the same value? So you laugh every 5 to 7 years🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps with modern professional restoration and thus a higher grade. Obviously grade by CGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep the “11/39” notation on both printings.
