The cents is nothing not only a zero, so you don't mention it at all. Same as $10,000.01, you don't say 10 thousand dollars and point zero one cents..... You know this, but may have forgot that you know this, that's the reason for my ribbing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I revise my "over five figures" to simply "five figures". Hopefully that clears up all the confusion my literally interpreted post has caused. tvindy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know this, but may have forgot that you know this, that's the reason for my ribbing I understand and agree with your words, but you seem to be implying that $10,000.01 is over five figures, while at the same time arguing (correctly that cents don't matter). Since most of this seems to be tongue-in-cheek, I think I'm probably just missing a joke. My main concern was just making sure that a TMNT #1 hadn't sold for $100,000, as that would have blown my mind. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes my apologies I just meant that as it's common nomenclature, that surely you knew that over five figures means 10,000 or more... A five figure salary is between $10,000 and $99,999 per year. A six figure salary is between $100,000 and $999,999 per year. A seven figure salary is over a million dollars a year, and under ten million. Quora › What-does-it-mean-when A five figure salary is between $10,000 and $99,999 per year. A six figure salary is between $100,000 and $999,999 per year.

If it had reached 100,000 it would have been a six figures number So all we know it's between 10,000 and 99,000 which wouldn't be to far off from your question anyway ha! tvindy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with two people telling me different, I may very well be wrong. No worries, though. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauce Dog Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Y'all are hilarious - settle down on the semantics (When I originally posted I said 'it was five figures'). After it was all said and done, my 5.0 sold for just over $10,000. That's all I will say. I do however think the price on the 6.5 was fair, as the gap between lower grades isn't much, and I had dozens of people inquiring about it and tossing back new numbers to me every week for literally months...until I finally broke. I personally think mine sold high...soooooo: Edited September 28, 2020 by Sauce Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's like that for me when it comes time to sell my 9.6. $10,000 is a great price for a 5.0. ADAMANTIUM and ghn999 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear that when it comes to TMNT 1 and possible shenanigans, there sure seems to be an awful lot of smoke. And like the old saying goes.........where there's smoke, there's fire. So, best not to get yourself burned while playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valiantman Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 There are so few sales for TMNT #1 first printing, every sale of TMNT #1 first printing is becoming its own event. There are always possible shenanigans, but there are only a few legitimate ways to obtain a slabbed TMNT #1 first printing and legit sales are legit even if a skeptical audience gasps at the end price.

valiantman Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 DACardWorld pulled their CGC 8.5 blue label TMNT #1 first print from Ebay - I guess they got an offline offer. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-1-CGC-8-5-W-Origin-1st-Splinter-1st-Shredder-/373152158236 ghn999 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
