“Check out this totally AMAZING PUBLISHED 1990 Jack Kirby pinup! Jack Kirby was close friends with inker Mike Thibodeaux, and as a favor, Jack Kirby agreed to pencil 1 pinup in this 7 page story as a favor for Mike Thibodeaux! This POWERFUL Kirby FULL SPLASH PAGE featuring Donatello ( actually it’s Mikey. ~t )battling a fanged gorilla type monster is signed by Jack Kirby in the artwork and it’s also signed by the inker: Mike Thibodeaux at bottom! Don’t miss it! If you want the entire 7 page story, which has a beautiful page 1 splash and several all out action pages, it can be had for 700 more than the splash price if you want to keep this story COMPLETE! Story is penciled and inked by Mike Thibodeaux (other than this splash of course!)”

The Most Valuable TMNT Book!

Here it is folks. No, it’s not those ’84 Gobbledygooks nor is it that shifty Gold Turtlemania. Fittingly, that title belongs to a TMNT #1, 1st print. The one and only book in CGC 9.8, it’s the highest graded TMNT book ever!

You may be wondering what’s so special about it. I mean quick searches on ebay will yield books that can be had in the hundreds, if not low thousands. So what’s the big deal?

That CGC 9.8 label is the big deal. CGC has become the world authority on graded comic books. The higher the score on a 10 point scale, the closer to perfection your book is. To finally have such a rare book in incredible condition has comic geeks salivating. So how much is it worth?

Estimates from numerous high end comic collectors/experts agree that if this book went to auction, it would fetch $20,000 – $30,000!! With the last 9.6 selling for nearly $10,000, I really think those numbers are VERY likely.

And of course as the fates would have it, the owner of the book doesn’t even like the TMNT. He only bought the book back in ’84 from his LCS because the guy behind the counter was so persistent. So he buys it, flips it open, sees no color, and quickly closes it. He puts it away not to be seen again for another 25 years or so. He hears about this new fangled CGC thing, sends in his book, and now has basically won the lottery! As of now, he plans on holding on to it to pay for his kid’s college education one day. I’ll let you know of any developments.
