🤣 We just need everyone to stop selling them all the time! There are only 3,000 copies and it seems like the other 2,998 trade hands ALL the time anymore.
I remember around 1987 in CA, a kid in the neighborhood i was friends with who also collected comics was showing me his TMNT books. He had a #1 2nd print and 5-11 1st print. I had never heard of TMNT before and thought they were the coolest thing. I got the 5-11 from him which i kept since then until selling in early 2022. He wouldnt give up that #1 2nd print though.
My mom gave me $100 dollars as a graduation present in 1984. The tmnt hype was so high at that time that I must have called around 30+ LCS and luckily found one that carried tmnt 1 1st print for exactly 100. No Internet back then.
My fav cartoon growing up… TMNT! Eating pizza and sewer surfing looked fun. And the 4 player arcade game is still one of the best! I didn’t even know they had comic books as a kid? Also don’t cheapen this video by talking about money 😂
I don’t remember when I really became aware of the Mirage cartoon. I know it was a fascination of mine for years, because Overstreet didn’t used to put values for #1, which was so weird to me.
Good job pumping TMNT #1, we need it!

That’s what’s crazy right now! These things rarely used to change hands. I don’t hardly remember the last sizable auction that DIDN’T have a copy!

That’s awesome! What a graduation gift to get for yourself!
Great round up about the turtles. I had not seen some of those photos. Thank you for sharing. How does one private DM you?
IG!
