Appreciate the feedback and would definitely consider reaching out to you closer to the con 😊 With how elusive Peter has been in the past (and more recently this year) I feel like it's always a gamble if he might show up at a con nearby to him. I'm hoping that with the significance of next year's anniversary that it might encourage him to venture out a bit more, with Granite seemingly the biggest for us turtle fans. I know I'll still enjoy seeing all the talent and fellow fans there, but a bit hesitant to start organising such a big trip when it could be to no avail with Peter not attending.

*Brushes of the dust* Bump!

So I'm in a bit of a predicament currently when it comes to the 40th anniversary celebrations next year. First of all, I'm based in Australia. With the horrible USD->AUD conversion everything is super expensive (eg. plane tickets, transfers, accommodation, con tickets). Secondly, I separated from my wife late last year and currently still working through asset assignment, which includes a number of TMNT books that can fetch a hefty sum. Thirdly, I've always wished to get Peter's signature CGC witnessed on the #1 my ex and I currently own. So apart from wanting to be there for the anniversary celebrations, with my ex's blessing (TBA) I might be able to attend Granite Con with the #1 for a CGC signing. Would there be any fellow turtle aficionados that would be able to help facilitate a potential CGC witnessed Peter signing?

Been a while... time for a bump!

I have a paid membership and I'm still waiting for my grades from my TLR submissions, yet I'm seeing people with free-tier submissions having books back already. Just slightly annoyed I've paid for a tier and not getting books back sooner than the free tier. Anyway, anyone else still waiting to get books back from the recent TLR signing?

Le bump!

Managed to snag a couple from the pedigree auctions - wasn't able to pickup some of the low census issues as my savings could only stretch so far! Waiting on delivery still but did the #62 on auction. I hadn't got a SS volume 1 issue with Peter's signature so very happy with that one 😁

Nice pickup! I saw that book on offer and missed out by a couple of seconds 😭 One of my favourite covers due to the beautiful sunset, so striking. Thank you for sharing the original art. How big is the piece?

I've been on the lookout for a #2 and #3 first prints in 9.8 this year and have watched the prices follow the wave and I think for these books (and a couple of others) are on their way down now. If you look at HA hammer prices alone last week a #2 OW/W went for $1920, the month before one went for $2880 and another back in June: $4320. #1s are obviously a different story but I feel other previously bumped up books are coming down to where they used to somewhat be.

1 lot thanks!

What website is this?

Man I'm hoping it was legit - the fact that it was via CC and not HA is a bit more comforting, but you just never know these days with the shilling that's happening and what books are being pumped or not.

Any leads out there? 🤔

There's a #1 9.8 First Print that you can BIN on Comic Connect: $250k! https://www.comicconnect.com/item/929799?tzf=1 They've rejected 2 offers so far, the highest being $220k. I feel the asking is a little too rich currently, but with how crazy prices have become plus the recent sale of $180k and that 9.8 first prints don't come up often it's quite possible the book will hit over $200k for the first time.

Long shot but here goes... Chasing the splash page (#7) from Marvel Preview #4. I haven't found it to have been publicly sold so putting it out there if anyone out there does have it I'd be interested. Thanks!
