Can’t really tell the print editions so I thought I’d let CGC figure it out. Odd thing is they are all different sizes.

The #2 may be a second print, as the size is slightly smaller than the first print which is magazine sized like your 3 and 4. You could open it to the inside page so we could verify it as well. The 3 and 4 are surely 1st prints. All of the books look to be in nice condition as well! CGC is doing an Eastman signing if you wanted to get these signed, but I believe the cutoff is in 5 days. Good luck with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue two you could peek in the inside cover and it would be written there, if it's a second print. Plus the inside cover art is slightly different between 1st and 2nd prints of Issue 2.

I think the #2 is a first print from the cover. The bottom left corner shows a little white on the first print while the second print does not.

First prints have that tiny smidge of white on the bottom left. While 2nd prints are all black ThothAmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich_TMNT Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Spoiler @SpideyFein Congrats man! It's awesome that these are now getting graded by CGC when they come with authentication from Kevin. Those SS yellow labels really add some hefty value to these books.

I’ll start by saying I never thought I’d own these. These copies had been sitting on the “Bay” for quite some time. I had been looking at them long enough, and with support from some fellow “chuckers” and turtle heads, I decided to make the move and take the chance. After all, when you buy a set of Gobbledygooks, you are never 100% certain they are real until Eastman (or Laird) gives the “green” light. I traveled over 3 hours to pick these up in person, and the seller Steve was great to work with. I’ll post some pics from that faithful day. When I looked at them, I was floored, as they were nearly have the size of normal size comics. I thought they’d be smaller height wise but bigger width wise. Anyhow, from there started the journey to Eastman. These were sent to Dave from Comics and Ponies, who always comes through. He was 100% stellar from start to finish! They were doing a signing and I just got in. When I heard Kevin signed them with a little old school flare on the turtle and he said 💯 that they were real, I was flabbergasted!! As you may know, CGC takes these books very seriously and wanted to 110% make sure they were legit. After some back and forth, and patiently waiting, these arrived at my door the other day. To say I’m in turtle heaven is an understatement. I’ll be posting these in the Gobbledygook club as well. Big shout out to @Turtle @TMNT @rich_TMNT and all of the awesome shellheads on the boards. Here they are... That’s an 88’ mask by the way! I would like you to know that I audibly gasped when I saw this SpideyFein 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
