I had five or more on my watch list and they all were bought up on the same day. I agree with you about it being undervalued. IMO this is the last TMNT book with any big first appearances that hasn’t blown up yet. I’d argue that Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang are more widely known than Casey Jones, but I could be wrong.

I'd argue that Bebop and Rocksteady's first appearances are in 2, not 1 - they don't have names in the first issue and they're still human. They first show up in their mutated forms (and are first called by name) in issue #2. But it seems the masses feel differently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hezi Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Can somebody more knowledgeable than me help answer a question? on TMNT adventures 1, there seems to be two different versions of the Canadian price variant. There was a sale today on eBay for a TMNT adv #1 Canadian price variant and this version doesn’t have a barcode on the cover. My copy of the Canadian price variant has a barcode on the cover. I’m assuming this means that there are two versions of the Canadian price variant? Is this right or am I confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to the original cartoon. B, R and Krang were in almost every episode. I think Casey was only in 4 or 5 episodes out of the almost 200 produced.

GM8 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 It's the day you've ALL been waiting for. No, not election day silly, that's boring in comparison! This is the day that you can trade fractional shares of TMNT #1 1st print 9.8! Right now they're at $90/share which translates to $90,000 for the underlying book. I can't wait to hear the resident Debbie Downers on this forum give us their "completely unbiased, expert-opinion with absolutely no jealousy" analysis. https://app.rallyrd.com/app/assets/comics-literature/TMNT1 valiantman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmakt Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I love this idea in theory... It would make me sad not to have something to see or hold, but it would also be nice not to have to worry about protecting it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone attempted to sell their initial $65 for $90? It can be done today, assuming the price stays at $90/share. I have sold shares on RallyRd before, and I'll do it again. I "tried out" the RallyRd platform several months ago and they had a 1956 Mickey Mantle for $1/share. I bought 10 shares for $10. When it was put up for trading, it jumped to $4.10 per share. I sold 8 of them and got $32.80. GM8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some free time today and am ready to go down the Rally Rd rabbit hole -- though if people want we can move the discussion elsewhere. I believe (could be wrong) the initial offering for this comic was $65/share at 1000 shares and sold out. Now it is valued at $90/share but all of those shares are already spoken for; so how many are up for purchase? (and this info may be readily available on their site but I'm not going to use them so not giving another company my info.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
