[WTB] Mirage vol. 1 number 1 first printing

[HotJuicyBurgers]

Well, I thought piece of mind as to whether or not it was a real vol 1 issue 1 1st print. I've always heard that books from the creator might not be in the greatest shape, but I'd at least expect them to be real lol. As for the giant crease on one, I wasn't really looking at the auctions for more than a second so I didn't see it, but honestly I think I would just be happy to own a copy of 1st issue 1st print lol

For sure, but my comments were more directed at Fifth Turtle. A man who is looking to throw down $500 for a set of miniatures is probably not someone looking for a low grade copy of tmnt #1.

Those raw Eastman books are also pre-signed, so they couldn't be submitted for Signature Series. If I WERE going for one of the HA copies, I would certainly recommend one of the pre-graded books.

That is true lol. Although, I've never been a big fan of cgc stuff because then I could never read and appreciate them. although to be fair if I had a 1st issue 1st print I'd probably buy another printing for a reading copy lol

Yeah, that's the thing about books that have been reprinted a half million times. There no reason not to get first prints graded when you could buy one of the books NINE printings to read.
