It would be a nice problem to have, no? However, this isn't a record. The Heritage sale on 11/17/17 of $26,920 was a record for a 9.6 (cgc # 1294883001). Still a nice price and ebay takes less of a hit on sale(and buy) than Heritage.

Didn't see that yet. That's a slight bump up from the average price of late. Seller had this up on Comic Link and ebay at several prices, originally 30K then 25, then 27, then 23.5. So he really tested the higher prices but settled at 20 for this one.

Ok, finally had a chance to add some data that pubmonkey sent from GPA sales of 9.6 and 9.8's:

Thanks! Wasn't sure if these would interest anyone else but good to know there's other data nerds here!

Ok sure. Excel doesn't like different dates for different chart lines so it lumps them together but I think I can make monthly sales work.

Here's 9.4 sales: and 9.2's (sorry the data gets bunched in spots, there's a couple sales for some of the lines, marked with different prices. and last one 9.0's:

I track these sales of TMNT #1 9.0 and up. These are confirmed sales on all outlets, ebay, heritage, comiclink, comic connect. Was doing a bunch of Excel work for work and figured I'd churn out a chart or 2 or 3:

It does happen all the time and it's a direct result of the ever-increasing fees charged to sellers and the ever-decreasing benifits sellers receive. It's not right but it just is.

He says in the title it's a "replica" so I don't see an issue with it. It would only fool a fool I suppose. Never heard of this particular reprint.

Just read the story of your "Grail", great get! So that painting is a one of a kind?

Not from what I've seen. I track high-grade sales of this book and people just seem to want the book since its so rare - sig or not.

Good observation, that ratio is common with the CGC grades. Uptick in grades are often doubling of prices. A good sale though, keeps the trend going. That person who got the 26K for the 9.6 really did well in retrospect.

Now $11,000 w/ Buyer's Premium (BP) : $13,200.00. 5 days remain. https://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-1-mirage-studios-1984-cgc-nm-96-white-pages/a/7189-91162.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515

I would skip it entirely or if you must, ask them to sign the interior cover like they used to. The cover is 90% of the appeal of a book and to have some scribbled writing in big thick silver or whatever color is a travesty, imho. I know some people love signatures but I track sales of TMNT #1 1st prints in high grade and, at least for now, they add 0 value to this book. Looking at AF covers where Stan Lee signs the middle of it I just shake my head. And people value that!

Hey, a first print is a first print! Only 3250 or fewer even exist.

Saw this freebie on Dealnews: Amazon offers downloads of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 Kindle/Comixology eBook for free. (It's the same price for iBooks and Google Play Books.) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IU2EWZY

That was quick, now $8,500 w/ Buyer's Premium (BP) : $10,200.00. For reference, the last two sales of 9.6's I have went for $14.3K on 2/23/18 and $26.3K on 11/17/17, both also Heritage auctions. My best guess is that this one sells for around $18K.

A 9.6 is up for auction on Heritage. Current bid $3,400, w/ Buyer's Premium (BP) : $4,080.00. https://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-1-mirage-studios-1984-cgc-nm-96-white-pages/a/7189-91162.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515

Just another reason not to use fedex.

What does it mean when there are two of the same comics, with the same or similar grade next to each other consecutively? I've run into this a few times now, with the final digits being a "1" and "2". The comics were same book and grade. Is this a reholder or is this just someone sending in multiple copies that happen to grade the same?

Angela stuff is starting to move again with the news of the "Asgardians of the Galaxy" series on its way with Angela and Valkyrie. I thought Marvel had forgotten about her.

Oh yeah, well I up you clouds and bet you stratosphere.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/TEENAGE-MUTANT-NINJA-TURTLES-1-1st-Print-CGC-9-8-HOLY-Mirage-1984-TMNT/113029194942?epid=86513984&hash=item1a5110a4be:g:SB8AAOSw5PJbEMBu Asking prices are just that but you've got to hand it to the guy, he's ambitious!

Ok I see what you're saying. They're adding an extra layer...annoying but they already make you click on extra time to see a sold item's details, this seems like just another layer. Ebay's gonna ebay.

I don't get it. This was relisted and didn't sell. You're saying it sold and the page with the sale price isn't available? Unless this sold, I don't see anything different here. I use ebay all the time.

Hmmm not sure what to make of your situation with ebay. I would try other computers & browsers to see if you can get the original view. I'm not seeing this issue on my end, just checked again to be sure. Usually when ebay changes something they just do it and don't make it sometimes work and then othertimes not.
