where did you bought them?

**Kali** · 08-18-2002, 10:08 AM

Yeah, I'd say that's a pretty good price, especially with a bunch of first prints. I'm so jealous. *pouts*

**Karpo_007** · 08-18-2002, 10:14 AM

Yeah a good offer i payed 200 for whole first volume.. everything from 5-62
are first prints...

That's cool... the first 5 are pretty rare nowdays...

Ninja Turtle · 08-18-2002, 01:41 PM

Yeah I found them on ebay. What is a first print of #1 going for? I want to get one but isn't it almost impossible to find one?

**Karpo_007** · 08-18-2002, 01:42 PM

I have heard it could cost like 50...

Ninja Turtle · 08-18-2002, 01:45 PM

Do you have any idea where I could find a copy of one?

**Karpo_007** · 08-18-2002, 01:47 PM

No... I have seen them on ebay from time to time... But with high prices

**azure turtle** · 08-18-2002, 02:18 PM

That is definitely a sweet deal. You're one lucky turtle.

A first print copy of the very first issue is one of the hardest comics to find. Only 3000 copies were made for the first run. A near mint TMNT #1 can go for around $200 or more. If you want to get your hands on one, I suggest you find a comic store that has it, and then buy it from there. Don't trust ebay if you're looking for the first print. There are a lot of fake copies going around, and you can easily lose all of that hard earned cash if you're not careful. The fakes are easy to spot... The paper used to print the fakes is white and sturdy, as opposed the original comics which is yellow and has a soft newspaper feel to it. And remember, the first comic was printed in magazine size, not the normal comic size. I hope that info helps.

~~PWDESAI~~ · 08-18-2002, 03:09 PM

actually azure i here it goes for $500 now

*Nickokapo* · 08-18-2002, 03:12 PM

$500 dollars for a comic...uhh...

Ninja Turtle · 08-18-2002, 04:40 PM

Well it looks like I'm going to pass on the idea of a first print for a while. First I must finish off my collection of every TMNT comic made before I can consider that.

Kingkapong · 08-18-2002, 05:30 PM

ya. i gotta wait until i'll become some millionaire tycoon to consider with a rare collection.

**Karpo_007** · 08-18-2002, 05:51 PM

Everything else is rather easy to find.. the first prints are most rare..

~~PWDESAI~~ · 08-18-2002, 07:35 PM

yeah if anyone found a first print, pm me, I have a friend who really wants it.
thanks
