Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 CGC 9.8 For Sale<\/p><\/div>\n

Why it’s important<\/strong><\/p>\n

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was one of the first independent comic books to really hit the big time. Outside of the comic book itself it has spawned movies, television cartoons, toys and more licensed items than can be mentioned. This perpetual interest keeps the comic book in the limelight. \u00a0The movie remake in 2014 is also helping push this comic to new heights.<\/p>\n

The Gotcha<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first issue is in black and white with a black cover prone to easy damage. High grade copies are more difficult to find. The big gotcha are the counterfeit copies in circulation. For that reason, unless you are an expert, I can highly recommend sticking to CGC copies for purchase.<\/p>\n

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 Value<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2o14 reboot of the movie franchise has pushed some copies up in value. \u00a0A copy of TMNT #1 in CGC 9.8 (the highest known graded copy) has sold as high as $22,752 in 2011, although it has recently sold for $15,000. \u00a0CGC 9.4 copies\u00a0have moved from the $4,000 – $5,000 range a couple of years ago up to a new high of almost $7,500 in 2014 (only one copy sold for that amount, most went in the $5,000-$6,000 range)<\/p>\n
