I bought this one in early 90s.  I looked for a very long time to even find a copy much less purchase one (pre ebay days).  But once I did I scrounged the money and bought it, it wasn't really a sought after item at the time and was in kind of a lull with collectors but it was sort of the reason I even got interested in comics in the first place trying to find this book I'd just heard about but never seen.  I've moved a gazillion times since then and lugged it with other long boxes from place to place and finally got it graded after value shot up so much in last couple of years.

That's a nice looking book :) Glad you kept up with it and didn't give up on it either!

Another high grade 9.6 TMNT #1 coming up at auction at Heritage. This one last sold around 7/2016 for $12,500 according to GPA. It has OW/W pages, not that that matters all that much with this book apparently. But we will see.

This sold for $18K w buyer's premium.  Slightly lower than recent sale of $20K around 3/19, but higher than a sale of $14.4K around 2/19. Not bad for a sale during world turmoil!

 

Of note, a 9.4 sold on Comic Link recently as well for $14,450. Solid sale based on previous, recent sales of $13.5K also in February, and a $10.5K sale in December 2019.

So did Rick buy it? If so how much?

No... dude decided to hang onto it and wait for something closer to $60k...

no way he really had any intention of selling it... You're not going to pull a fast one on that show with something whose value is so relatively easy to pin down...

Yea I sadly forgot to put a note with it when I packaged it up. I was just trying to get it out before everything got bad.  Wasn’t sure how CGC would be operating at the time. Took 2 weeks to total to get it back though

How is this book holding up during the market crash.  How much would a 5.5 or 6 cost?

Book still going up regardless of world issues:

6.5 universal last sale April: $5500

No recent sales for 6.0 or 5.5 in blue label (last 3 months).

This copy "sold" on Comiclink on 12/5/19 for $50K, so clearly that sale fell through.

 

I had the 11/21/19 sale at $52,800...was there another one I missed or are you thinking of this one?  link here: https://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/alternative-underground/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-1-mirage-studios-1984-cgc-nm-mt-98-white-pages/a/7212-91102.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515
