A 9.8 sold by Heritage Auctions in 2019 for $90,000, but that includes their 20% buyer's premium. So probably about $72,000. Others in similar condition ranged from $52,000-66,000, but still in a little better shape than the one in the video. One in slightly lesser grade sold in 2020 for $45,600. None of those, however, were autographed. That said, an autographed 9.2 sold for $39,600 this past January.

[@rbdz29]

The appraiser was low-balling the seller...possibly because Rick Harrison doesn't like to sell comic-books. A 6.5 of the same comic book is priced at 15 to 20K. The 9.8 sells for around 100K. TMNT stuff is hot and only likely to continue going up in value.

"The Brain" got too much turtle in his head, that's why!

[@kyle1m]

I did some research on this comic and found it around the same price that is was appraised at on this show however it was without the autograph. Probably around 15 to 20k is accurate with the autograph. I read that the original sketch for the photo on the cover of the comic sold at auction for about 70k which is why I think the seller was asking 60k because he mistook the sketch price for the price of the comic book.

[@whiskerbiscuit6674]

Signatures often reduce the value of the book regardless of authenticity. It's still considered altered and damaged. Signatures only help authenticate things that are mass produced that can't be pinned down to the person. IE there are a million fender strats, so to have one signed says it was owned by that person. Which makes it rare because not all strats were owned by that person. The comic itself is inherently rare so the signature isn't necessary. You're not buying it because of the autograph you're buying it because of the rarity of the book, and the signature is technically damaging the rarity. The smarter thing to do is get a picture with the Author or Artists and have them sign your picture, or just have them sign a reprint or a postcard.

[@l.a.rodriguez9581]

What? signed 9.8s exist, which if you know comics, means it’s perfect. Also, Guitar players sign guitars that aren’t theirs. A vintage Strat signed by Leo Fender is worth way more than an identical unsigned one. The smart thing to do is get something signed with a CGC witness. A signature by the creator will make an item more valuable 99.9% of the time.

[@rbdz29]

The value of this comic book varies greatly - price guides put a 6.5 of the same comic at 15K. Don't know where the appraiser got his numbers but he was way low for a comic that is likely to increase in value.

[@fightingking482]

9.6 of this book today is worth $76K. And this one is signed and verified on the show is probably worth a lot more than that!

[@alexisrivera200xable]

@@JJ_Lloyd That is not being smart though. The appraisal was at 11k he went and asked way over that several times and went as low as 15k. When confronted with such a low offer lowball appraisal the only smart move was not to keep bargaining and walk away. For all we know even at the 15k he asked it was a bad deal. Were he smart he should have had it graded before going to try and sell it.

[@MiggyRules]

Kevin Eastman is such a legendary comic book artist ever. I always loved the story of how the TMNT came to be and YES this was completely true of Kevin and Peter. The guy was crazy though to think that comic would go 60 thousand, I mean Kevin is a legend, but the legend he and Peter wanted to be was Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. 11,000 definitely worth the comic indeed.

When an “expert” comes through it’s almost always the same story. It be like, “wow this is extremely rare, this is insane, howd you acquire this?, but wait it only worth $200” 🤣☠️ then Rick offers $20 for it.

[@johndough3125]

Seriously, it happens every freaking time. I think their “experts” are in on helping them lowball the customers

[@Shakester71]

$11K isn’t $200 so your analogy is way off. I’ve watched this show for a long time and I’ve never, and I mean never, seen Rick offer someone $20 when it was worth $200. 50% is usually the starting price and that’s just good business. Those pair of Nikes you bought at the store for $100. Sorry but it costs them about $6 to make and wholesales for around $20.

Reality: The Eastman and Laird run of TMNT is closing in on the upper echelon of comic book prices. Ninja Turtles are close to being in the same category as Super-Man, Batman, The Flash, Spider-Man, Captain America, and Iron Man....all of which have gotten upwards of 500,000 dollars or millions for their respective number 1's, even in some cases, comics graded as low as 5 or below. The TMNT number 1, first print, has reportedly sold for 150,000 and 250,000 in some cases for a 9.0 or over. But, the point of this is, Rick Harrison poo-poos on some collectibles as not his thing, which are generally given to Chumlee (ex, comics, shoes, video games, etc). Rick supposedly doesn't deal in Nazi paraphernalia, Ivory.....or baseball cards from after 1960 and beanie babies. I have lists from auctions in which the TMNT number 1 has sold for over 30 to 50 thousand....and in recent years, the number appears to be skyrocketing. Every generation has Ninja Turtles as part of their pop culture and I don't think that will change anytime soon. BUT - if you're a Pawn Shop dealer, you're not looking to pay 50K for what could eventually be more than 1 million in 20 years.
