I just looked and I have a high grade (probably 9.6/9.8) #16. Is it worth getting graded and slabed? Looks like there isn’t a lot in the census. Is that because it’s hard to find or no one wants it? 😂 No recent sales on a 9.8 either other than an SS one in 2018, any ideas on what one would go for?

I just got a TMNT Adventures #1 (Archie). There is this signature on the back. Does anyone recognize it, or is it the previous owner practicing for when they'll be a movie star? Any help would be appreciated!

I would definitely slabe it . . . :whistle:

It’s a tough black cover . If it comes back 9.8 it was worth it . Ultimately it depends on what you’re doing with it  the cost of grading , may not yield a big return if it’s just a flip . I’m seeing great numbers on eBay auctions for issues 5-10 in 9.8 but I don’t know how long this will last but generally getting 9.8 is not easy with these early turtle books.

Not really a flip. I’m the original owner and not really collecting TNMT anymore.

I submitted the first 9.8 of that book.  The black cover makes it tough to find in 9.8.  It's also a Mark Martin story, so it's disjointed from the main Mirage narrative.  

It's definitely worth the submission if it has a chance at a 9.8.  It likely won't hit the same price as 9.8 that was worked on by the main Mirage guys early in the run, but you should still do pretty well if you decide to sell.   Even a 9.6 should have no problem selling for more than the grading fees.

Damn, maybe not a 9.8. I didn't notice the bottom left corner (front cover), press may get it out (no color break, it's the lighting).  The back looks OK to me though!

That's not bad at 'tall!

Be proud, I'd love to not have come into turtles late, although the experience hasn't left me salty, I'm quite satisfied, but just glad to see others fair so well :x

Both my boys are big into sports cards, graded esp/PSA, but those one touch magnetic ones for their cards just under their slabbing tier. 
Happen to see at the card store they had a three pack of comic ones, so bought it and decided to put my three fave Ronin Covers in them.They are pretty convenient and cool I have to say. No scratches on any of them🏆

I'd be more concerned about the tape on the BC . . . :baiting:
