Turtlemania Gold 2/10 On Pedigree

Archon_Turtle · 07-20-2010, 02:40 AM

The owner of one of the only currently known Turtlemania Golds is taking it to comic auction. And no, this isn't my copy (the guy dropped my name though, lol):

Oh aand before anyone asks, I did not write what he said about me.

Very gnarly. In all seriousness, who would win the "Foremost TMNT collector in the universe" contest between you & Ivey? Lol... Jokes aside, I wonder what that puppy will sell for. Keep us updated if you happen to find out!

Uhm, is it true what it says about the regular white edition? That it's been sold for that much? Cos I have one of those and I didn't pay anything special... Just what you would pay for any old "whatever"-comic book,

"Foremost TMNT collector in the universe" has got to be your new custom title!!!

And as far as know, that $$$ for the white is a myth. I have no clue where he pulled that number from. But I guess we'll see what it goes for.

Indeed. While he is correct about Silvers selling for a grand+, I am not sure where that white figure comes from.

*Spitfire* · 07-20-2010, 12:20 PM

I paid a whole 12 dollars for my white copy. Things are only worth what people are willing to spend on them. I sure wouldn't buy that thing for more then 20 bucks, I don't care how rare it is. I have it already just a different color cover. This is why I don't own a first print of the original comic. I could spend over 1 grand on a single item or I could buy several items, like the statues for example.

Ninja_Shoe_Repair · 07-20-2010, 01:44 PM

yeah, I kinda agree with you Spitfire. That comic is neat because of the sketches and low print run but it's just not for me. I'd rather invest in original comic art as those are one of a kind. I do however own a first printing of issue 1 as that is something I had to have as a TMNT fan. I guess the moral of the story is, "to each it's own".

Archon, if you don't have "Foremost TMNT collector in the universe" put on business cards as your job title I might just have to kick you.

I got my white copy for $10, and while it's a neat little trinket, I never really gave it a second thought (sorta like that TMNT interview special I bought). I didn't find out about the different colored printings until a few years ago.

Personally, I'd never pay such prices for something I could get exactly the same content for for $10, the only difference being a different color cover. But that's just me; I'm more into TMNT comics for the content than the rarity. Sort of why I actually opted to buy later printings of most of the Volume 1 issues in my collection because they had bonus stories in them over first printings.

I buy my comics to read, less so to showcase. No offense intended to those who *do*, it's just not for me, that's all.

Oh I'm not saying use them for actual professional type things.
Just think of the GREAT EXPRESSIONS you'll get when you use them for winning free lunches at restaurants.

I will be interested as to when this goes to auction, keep us posted, Stephan..

Peter Palmer · 09-21-2010, 11:07 AM

Did this ever come up for auction? If so, anyone catch what it sold for?

Archon_Turtle · 09-24-2010, 02:26 PM

They removed it from the auction list before the auction went live.

Rise1184 · 09-24-2010, 03:31 PM

Damn, that sucks.. I wonder why?

BoggleKng · 09-24-2010, 08:48 PM

probably another private sale else where..

Gooseatello · 04-25-2014, 08:30 PM

I just saw this book today. It was the same 2/10 Gold edition. I asked to hold it just so I can say I did. The owner was asking an insane amount.
