Volume 1 Trades/Collections

[cormano]

I am looking to get as many of the various collections of the Volume 1 comics. I have Volumes 2-4 of the First Comics color reprints, so the one I am most interested in Volume 1 from that series. I am also interested in the original black and white "Collected" books, though I'm not sure how much they're going for :lol:.

Aaaand… I'm also interested in adding the Challenges and Shell Shock books to my collection. I'll be watching Ebay, but any help from anyone here would be appreciated.

Also, I have a question about the old Tales collection. I know it has that 10 page Nobody story that isn't in the new Treasury edition, but is there other stuff? It's listed as 242 pages on the official site and the new one at only 158. I may have to pick that up, too…

In the original Tales collected, there is also an introduction spanning 4 or 5 pages, but no other new stories. There are also pages of TMNT art in between each story. That's alot of extra pages though. I don't have the book in front of me or I'd check it more thoroughly.

Also, I have an extra copy of the original black and white collected book (softcover). Was thinking of selling a copy, not sure though. I still need to find the hardcover edition.

Thanks for the info and if you decide to sell that volume 1 collection (this one? (http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/books/volone1990.htm)), let me know, I will definitely be interested.

Nope, it is this one:

It collects Vol. 1 #1-11, plus the four micro-series comics. That is actually the same book that you showed, but it was the second printing with a cover by A.C. Farley.

That is awesome. I have never seen that first printing other than the listing on ninjaturtles.com.

I've been looking to get that thing but I rarely see it on Ebay. I need Shellshock too.

Thats been on ebay allot as of late spit.

[Spitfire]

Must have missed it since I was focusing on figures lately. I looked today and neither were up so yeah.

[cormano]

A copy of Shellshock just went off Ebay a couple days ago. I was the high bidder on it when I went to work, but lost by the time I came home.

[Spitfire]

Yeah I passed on it. I really wasn't to happy with the condition. I have trouble buying trades online cause their rarely in good shape. There's only been once I got a great deal on some.

[MrPliggins]

I don't see the hardcover very much on Ebay, but when I do, it goes for 150+ dollars. The softcover is alot cheaper, but I've still seen it go for over a hundred.
