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. True, but if there's some distinction between CGC 9.6 with signatures and those without, the $20,000 for a copy without signatures is a record.

jeranimal Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 This one is ending in a few hours... Current high bid is $15,361 https://www.pedigreecomics.com/auction/comic/063330/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-1-cgc-96-ow-w Quote TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES # 1 CGC 9.6. Signed and sketched by both both Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird on the interior of the front cover (in pen). A perfect specimen of one of the most sought after books ever. Perfect centering, sharp corners, deep rich coloring, an absolute must have for any true TMNT fan. The key here is that it has Peter Laird's signature. Since selling to Viacom he is no longer attending conventions or doing signings so good luck finding a Laird signed copy again. It should be clear how extremely rare Peter Laird's signature is nowadays plus not only did he sign the book but he did a sketch as well. These books are incredibly hot right now and a super sound investment. A perfect example of the most sought after copper age book, we are thrilled to offer up this pristine NM+ copy. Ridiculously EXACT centering, sharp corners, bright coloring. How hot is this book? The last 9.6 offered for sale sold for $19,200 in August. That copy was not signed or sketched. We just sold a 9.2 in our last auction (August, 2018) for $11,251. Both are record prices in that grade! GM8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minus the consignment fee of 10% on Pedigree, this is a profit of $1659 or 11.5%. Not a bad return for 8 months.

valiantman Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I prefer the unsigned copies for the high grades (9.4+), but I would definitely prefer a signed copy (especially signed inside in the 1980s) if it was a mid-grade book. szav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icculus308win Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) I just got this back yesterday from CGC ?

Popular Post Turtle Posted October 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2018 I bought this book raw and submitted it at the Baltimore Show a few weeks back. I figured I'd share. Fits well in my collection of TMNT #1 homages. Callaway29, spracknetch23, Icculus308win and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no question...which was nice because typically books with black borders have a tendency to be tough. How was the Laird signing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This edition is one of my "ones that got away". There was an ebay listing, mislabeled where the seller was just selling a bunch of turtles comics and I was bidding it as well as another person. We kept bidding it up to where it was obvious something was valuable under the surface. My max price was just outbid of course. Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
