Sauce Dog Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) So, not sure what everyone else experiences are but I've been looking at the 3rd prints for the last two months (as that is the only 'original' copy of #1 I own still) and the prices are all over the place and still getting crazier. A decent mid/high grade raw file copy (with COA and signature by Eastman) sold in October for $670us. Flash forward to this month and BLAM...and absolute wrecked, crumpled, stained with water damaged copy issue sells for $567us. The lowest of the low are climbing (as those are often the only ones people feel they could afford) while the better grade ones are not going for that much more. The gap is very minor.

Outside of the GPA I haven't been following 2nd prints like I have been for 3rd prints (scouring for any raw sales). I would just assume they are doing as equally as silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubmonkey Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 HA auction has 1 day 7hours and 42 minutes to go... The results will be interesting as there are high grade copies that’ll set the price point going forward. Anybody have any predictions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not that familiar with Heritage Auctions. Do people often wait until the last few minutes of an auction on a popular item to get into vicious bidding wars that drive the price way up, like on eBay? Or are the prices on the day before pretty close to the final bid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The increments between bids are quite large so sniping may not work as it does on EBay. tvindy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't be able to snipe like on Ebay, as after the auction closes online it goes to a 'live' bidding. Once the lot comes up everyone can bid again and this is where you will see lots of the action on books (and bidding increases the time remaining by 30 seconds to allow for others to counter) pubmonkey and tvindy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauce Dog Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I'm personally interested in watching what will happen with the CGC 9.8 TMNT #1 Fifth Print, as it is already at a record high of $456us (with bp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5th print was not on any radar until this year. I remember seeing them in dollar bins around 5 years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have it and while I'm not wanting to sell it I'm interested in just keeping tabs on where they are going (I have one mid grade raw copy I use for reading, and then another 9.6ss). I think it will be interesting to see where the 4th and 5th prints end up, as they are distinctly different books than the other first three prints. I love the cover for the 5th, so from an art perspective I can see appreciation for it growing as more people discover this 'affordable' TMNT #1.

So that Heritage Auction has my interest too! There is sniping there too. The "pre-bidding" is already really high on the super-key TMNT ones, like #1, 2, 3 early prints.. So I have a feeling, this whole covid year, and it's Christmas... people might splurge on some old nostalgia from their youth. Plus, it's a perfect storm with the CGC Kevin Eastman signing coming up. I think it might be record prices! On that note :).... (for the Turtle on your list!).. I'm selling the rest of my Turtles collection. I'm keeping the few TMNT's that are near-and-dear to me, and the others - that are surely 9.4, or 9.6's, or (gasp) higher - are up for sale. Let me know if anyone is interested in getting an unslabbed 9.4, 9.6 or 9.8, and I can send all kinds of photos - perfect timing! unslabbed, never been pressed, Eastman signing. For me, I'm sending in my TMNT #5 (a chance at being a 9.9), my Raphael, my #4 1st print, and #1 3rd print in for the Eastman signing.. Cheers!

szav Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Man all the early stuff is really skyrocketing, even the one shots. Haven’t been motivated to slab or sell any of the dupes I kept all these years but it may be time soon. Will be interesting to see how well the price increases hold over the next few months. pubmonkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the cover for the 5th, so from an art perspective I can see appreciation for it growing as more people discover this 'affordable' TMNT #1. 5th print at $630 with bp... Donatello 9.8 at $432 with bp...this one surprises me as does #10 9.8 at $312 with bp... There are more bidders and trackers for the Blue label #2 9.8 ($2880 with bp) than the yellow label #2 9.8 ($2520 with bp) which is very interesting. Of course this is with 4 hours left so there will be adjustments. the #1 1st print 9.4 is at a nose bleeding $31,200 with bp...can it go any higher? and the #1 3rd print 9.8 is sitting at $3000 with bp The next four hours should prove to be exciting!

Sauce Dog Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I'm also not bidding on any of the comics, but am actually going in on one of the original art pieces (Urban Legends #13 cover art. I was actually planning on buying off of Eastmans website where it was originally listed, but he pulled it and other items for this auction just before I could pull the trigger) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
