[carcrawfordfan]

Does anyone have any type of value on the TMNT mag 1984-3rd printing?? Or the print run?? Or graded info?? Thanks for any help in advance.

You mean the original TMNT #1 comic (it's oversized)?

[ashrael]

www.comicspriceguide.com probably has it

I can't remember the print runs, but it has been discussed here on more than one occasion.

 

Try running a search. The answer is definately in an old thread.

This thread discusses the print runs, among other things:

Thanks for all the help guys..I did mean the magazine.

[50 Cent #II (1st)]

Still confused if that helped. If there was a magazine, then it didn't, but if it did help, then he probably meant the oversized first issue (especially since he said 1984 and I don't think anything else came out back then).

TMNT #1 (first printing) - 3,000

I never realized how low that run was....

[carcrawfordfan]

Yeah, I meant the 1st oversized issue. I thought it was different than the 1st regular sized issue.

[Bronty]

1st, 2nd, 3rd prints of #1 are oversized. 4th, 5th prints are regular size.

If you look at the run for Gobbledygook... that's the REAL Rare one. 150 copies of #1 and #2.

[Bronty]

I think 150 is too high. I was under the impression it was 50 of each.

Since we are on the topic of TMNT print runs, does anyone know the print run for a comic called How to Draw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 ?

 

How to Draw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1

Publisher: Solsen Publications

Year: 1986

Pure Guess Based on Zero Fact or Knowledge: 15-25K

I'm sure it was lower, but not positive, Solson was small. I have that issue and remember that there was a error varient (I have) where the cover came out lighter than it should have.

[juggernaut]

Quick Question!!

 

Has anyone ever heard of the TMNT Role Playing Games by Palladium Books? Also, would CGC slab such a book.

 

Note: These books are magazine size and contains art from Eastman and Laird.

Yeah but they aren't early books by tmnt standards. I think the date is more relevant than the publisher in this case as once the tmnt craze caught on, anything with those four letters on the cover was going to sell well.

Yeah, I have one (got it signed by Eastman and Laird back in the day ). Bought it when it came out -- around 1987 (?) (around the same time issue 7 or 8 came out.) The game is overly complexed and it never really took off. It's pretty thick so I doubt CGC would be able to slab it.
