They are still less common than the direct market ones and are typically harder to find in high grade...

The next auction (Heritage?) in November should give us a more realistic view as to what this book will sell for on the open market. Personally I think it will sell for less than $90k...somewhere in the high 60’s to low 70’s...

Fugitoid #1 9.8 SS Eastman from PeasOfCrap in 2012. It’s only 7 yrs ago but 2 kids (6yr old and 3yr old) later it feels like a lifetime...(at least for the kids...oh wait....)....

RIP Stan Lee, you the man...

9.4 Canuck version sold for $256 a year ago...

thanks Adam, that's 30 years of being pressed in mylar in a long box and never seeing the light of day. Even after all that the mini series #2 still came back a 9.0...

Yup I was one of those guys that paid just under $1k for my book and almost the next day there were many on the census and the price dropped by more than half. I am happy to see I’m not in the red anymore (if the latest sales are any indication)... I can remember seeing loads of copies of this book rolled up in peoples’ back pockets at school and thinking how badly I wanted one...even though I had missed the boat on it already. I didn’t get my first near mint copy until at least ten years later... for whatever reason I had a really hard time getting a #2 and a #7 as well...

...on a lighter note I received the books below back from CGC recently. They were bought off the rack at my LCS in Montreal in ‘88/‘89 thus the ‘Canadian Edition’.

Is there a story behind why and how you have a horde of these?

Wow!

Personally I prefer the number 1’s without the yellow label, looks cleaner and, imo, better... but it boils down to what you like

I’m a bit confused by this slab: https://www.ebay.com/itm/TEENAGE-MUTANT-NINJA-TURTLES-1-CGC-9-2-WHITE-PAGES-1988-STREET-COLLECTORS-EDIT/382412562891?hash=item590990a1cb:g:6poAAOSw2cVarCa- is this an error? I thought the street collectors edition was a mini comic included in the fan club kit from 1988...

Below are some more Turner sigs... if i'm not mistaken the silver foil 21 and 2nd print 22 are the others that remain to be seen... shout out to OV for selling me that sweet renegar
