TMNT 1 different printing

[HotJuicyBurgers]

Hey guys, I know there is a thread here that goes in to extreme detail the differences between tmnt 1 printings but I can't seem to find it. Anyone know where it is?

You mean like, cover variants?

Maybe I should have specified. I meant volume 1, first printings, second printings and third printings. No worries though because I have actually found the thread :tsmile:

[Toby Barrett]

Ah, gotcha. Wasn't sure which issue 1 you meant. ;p

I kind of forgot that now that the new series came up we have multiple issue 1's with a large amount of different printings

It was actually on a different forum, but regardless here it is.

It goes into extreme detail as to how you could tell the different three printings apart from each other if you only have a front cover to go on. Interesting read, also someone in the thread also seems to have gotten a third printing interior with a first print trimmed cover. Sucks for him, but an interesting read.

That was actually a boardie. I ended up purchasing that book from him and submitting it to the CGC (it's there being graded now) as they grade Counterfeits for most books. As a completionist, a counterfeit #1 had been on my list for a long time, and it made me feel good that I could put a pretty decent chunk out of what he originally paid for it.

Really cool!

Please do post the book up when you get it back.
Did you choose economy? How long till it gets back lol

Yeah, that was my book. I was always suspect about its authenticity since I got it. I even emailed Dan Berger with pictures once, to which he replied it looked legit to him. I took that at face value and kept it a few years. Then I ran into that thread on collector's society and, reading all the detail about the first printing, I submitted it to their trained eyes. Lo and behold, what I suspected years ago was true. Great informative thread.
I'm glad to hear it will be going into a CGC case so no one will get tricked again. In person it may not fool people, but online it just might.
