Those are all gone, in case anyone is wondering.

But I do appreciate you, and a few others, pointing me in various directions. The good news is that by chance the stars still aligned and I may have secured a copy anyways. More details once in hand (trying hard not to jinx it but I'm pretty pumped to be almost back in the club!)

Maybe its a real sale? If it was raw I would be more inclined to think it's legit, But something is just off here imho, Hey let me or my dad, mom, cousin Joe CGC the book, then sell it at 60% below FMV oh and I will spell the name of the book wrong, sorry just been around to long to take this as a legit sale.

Maybe a "divorce" sale?

So, what will this hammer at? Let's hear some predictions. I'm going $35k

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-1984-TEENAGE-MUTANT-NINJA-TURTLES-1-CGC-9-4-UNIVERSAL-1ST-PRINT-SIGNED-WOW/254849652536

Good eye. I'd guess $41K. The last 9.4 sold on Heritage back in December 2020 for $36K.

Of note, this one hasn't come up for sale publicly since I have data back to 2005. So this appears to be a long-term owner cashing out (who likely sold it to this dealer). I like how ambitious the dealer is mentioning the 9.0 sale, which of course was from the Kevin Eastman personal collection. But hey, a guy's gotta dream right?

That book came from a two way trade that saw original owner trade TMNT 1 and a slew of old Detective Comics and a sum of cash to obtain a copy of Whiz 1 comics in 3.0. I follow him on Instagram and he owns some impressive comics in Superman 1 and Submariner 1 etc. His logic was the Whiz comics 1 was holy grail from golden age and very few affordable copies exist ( the 3.0 last sold for 75K USD ) so he made his move . I think he will hunt down another TMNT in future was his plan.
