Those with deep pockets who are buying in to collectibles at high prices right now, whether it be TMNT 1 or Jordan RCs or sealed Pokémon boxes, can afford to hold out if and when the crash comes. So while Deadpool trading cards probably will go back to being worthless eventually, the type of buyer spending $100k on a comic is also the least likely to panic sell. 

No doubt, however, I suspect there are quite a few % of buyers that will no be able to hold on to those Zion cards they paid 20k for and are now worth 5k because he sprained his ankle. The spectrum of speculation across the board right now ( ie Deadpool cards) is just mind boggling to me. If you tell me you over paid for a AF 15 by a few grand I think your just fine, if you tell me you paid $2200 for TMNT Adventures 1 or 25k for the variant of Miles first app, regardless of your financial situation your a braver man then me. ( I love Miles and can't wait to see him in movies but these instant collectable items ( comics, cards, toys) are nothing new) & have a negative historic trend. Should be fun to see where it all lands. On a side note I 100% hope I am wrong about the future, having people get burned is not good for any hobby.

But hold the phones. The SS 9.0 sold for $45,600?! Holy pepperoni pizza. The last SS 9.0 sold for $14.4K on 5/20/20, that's a 217% increase.

Well, roughly a month later that same copy now has a BIN of 55K.

That's a :ohnoez: if I ever heard one

But think of it, if it levels for a time, maybe people will think it's a healthier market, you get some data lines, and perhaps for these few they can com out cheaper than a lone book...... :tink::wishluck:

What are your guesses for the two TMNT1 1st prints ending tomorrow night on Clink?

9.4

https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAuctions%2Fdefault.asp%3FFocused%3D1%26x%3D25%26y%3D13%26pg%3D13%23Item_1462321&id=1462321&itemType=0

 

8.5

https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAuctions%2Fdefault.asp%3FFocused%3D1%26x%3D25%26y%3D13%26pg%3D13%23Item_1452977&id=1452977&itemType=0

 

Prices realized during this auction have been crazy. Many new highs per grade have been set. Will TMNT do the same?

 

I'm going $39k for the 9.4, $26k for the 8.5 :headbang:

I'd be curious to see what mid-grade to upper mid-grades would sell for now. Would they take a hit due to not being high grade, or would they actually turn in higher than expected results since it's an opportunity for collectors who don't have ultra deep pockets to get a first print?

For example, if I had $8000 to spend on a TMNT 1, would I shoot for a 9.6 second print or, let's say, a 4.0 first print. I'm not so sure.

It would be EASIER for you to find and buy a second print, and I honestly like them just the same. There are very few low grade first prints that ever hit the market and I guarantee you those that do again will go for more as everybody and their pet will jump on to bid or make offers.

4.0 1st print.  What the heck!   That's the first appearance.
