WDBill Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 CGC Census | Certified Guaranty Company, LLC (cgccomics.com) I believed there is a problem with this census. The "Mystery Box Edition" was a Gold Foil limited edition to 100, Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird cover signed by Kevin Eastman. Then there was a virgin Chromium Edition limited to 150, Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird cover. I think you have the two combined as a foil cover. jstam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator jstam Posted January 26 Administrator Share Posted January 26 @WDBill I've sent this information for the data team to take a look at. What I can see is that there are multiple Mystery Box variants represented for this book within the system. I'm unsure if the census is parsing the data incorrectly or not, but I'll come back to you once the data team confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WDBill Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 Why does it not differentiate between the gold and the chromium variants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator jstam Posted February 6 Administrator Share Posted February 6 There are 19 variants associated with this title and all are reflected in the census. These variants are recognized in our database the way that they've been entered. There is a Mystery Box Gold Foil Edition. As for a chromium edition, I'm not sure which book you're referring to and what name that's been given in the database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am referring to the Mystery Box Gold Foil Edition that is on the census but only shows 1 9.6 copy. There were 100 of these, Gold Foil Eastman signed with a sketch. Available only as a prize via 100 golden tickets inserted into random “Ultimate TMNT Box Sets” from Torpedo Comics – this variant was not available for direct purchase. I just believe something is wrong with the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator jstam Posted June 17 Administrator Share Posted June 17 @WDBill Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately I don't have any involvement with the census numbers but I will pass your query along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but from what I have read and seen there were 100 signed and sketched by Eastman and all 100 were graded when they were to be given out as prizes, so I really expected to see 100 of different grades in the census, not one. I have a 9.8 and there is a 9.8 and a 9.6 on Ebay now. For some reason I missed your post back in February so sorry for the late reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found 75 of the ones I think should be under "Mystery Box Gold Foil Edition". All 75 have the same Issue Date, Grade Date and Key Comments. Also the number of 100 signed and sketched by Kevin Eastman. Busy day for Kevin.
