Transactions from this week that sold for higher than the previous twelve-month average:

FOURTH PRINTING 9.6 sold for $235 vs the average $185 (+27%)
FIFTH PRINTING 9.4 sold for $197 vs the average $162 (+22%)
There is probably no greater success story that came from the post-pandemic secondary market boom than TMNT #1
In December 2020, a 9.4 first printing sold for $36,000
Six months before that, TMNT #1 in 9.4 sold for $17,250, which was higher than any other previous sale
Six months later, a 9.4 sold for $46,500
In one year’s time, a 9.4 went from $17,250 to $46,500 – an increase of +170%
The market has since corrected, but it’s safe to say that the stabilized value of a 9.4 is $20,000, which is +185% higher than a sale of the 9.4 from 2016
This type of activity over the course of the past 10 years is consistent with other grades
The highest amount paid for a copy of TMNT #1 first printing was $245,000 in September 2021 for a 9.8
The most recent sale in 9.8 happened in June 2024 for $87,000 – much lower than the all-time high but a great deal higher than a $15,000 sale from 10 years ago
Some might be surprised by the figures associated with later printings of this issue, but considering the supposed print of 3,000 copies, the demand for any reprints associated with issue #1 shortly after the publication of the premiere issue is viable
According to the CGC Census, nearly half of the issues from the first printing are accounted for as graded, with 1,358 registered to their population report
CBCS shows 15 graded copies and PSA 0
The following are the number of copies per grade of TMNT #1, first printing: 9.8: 37
9.6: 69
9.4: 109
9.2: 105
9.0: 122

This is the first time TMNT #1 appeared on the Hot 10 in 2026, mainly because copies aren’t listed often or at a price point that commands a quick sale
Only 6 first printing, graded copies sold in 2026 – two of the sales occurred this week of data collecting (two additional sales occurred after the data collection deadline)
Just one first printing, ungraded copy sold in 2026 – a low grade copy that went for $5,000

There is probably no greater success story that came from the post-pandemic secondary market boom than TMNT #1
In December 2020, a 9.4 first printing sold for $36,000
Six months before that, TMNT #1 in 9.4 sold for $17,250, which was higher than any other previous sale
Six months later, a 9.4 sold for $46,500
In one year’s time, a 9.4 went from $17,250 to $46,500 – an increase of +170%
The market has since corrected, but it’s safe to say that the stabilized value of a 9.4 is $20,000, which is +185% higher than a sale of the 9.4 from 2016
This type of activity over the course of the past 10 years is consistent with other grades
The highest amount paid for a copy of TMNT #1 first printing was $245,000 in September 2021 for a 9.8
The most recent sale in 9.8 happened in June 2024 for $87,000 – much lower than the all-time high but a great deal higher than a $15,000 sale from 10 years ago
Some might be surprised by the figures associated with later printings of this issue, but considering the supposed print of 3,000 copies, the demand for any reprints associated with issue #1 shortly after the publication of the premiere issue is viable
According to the CGC Census, nearly half of the issues from the first printing are accounted for as graded, with 1,358 registered to their population report
CBCS shows 15 graded copies and PSA 0
The following are the number of copies per grade of TMNT #1, first printing: 9.8: 37
9.6: 69
9.4: 109
9.2: 105
9.0: 122
8.5: 137 (most abundant)
8.0: 127
7.5: 111
7.0: 94
6.5: 55
6.0: 33
5.5: 26
5.0: 21
4.5: 13
4.0: 6
3.5: 3
3.0: 4
2.0: 3
This is the first time TMNT #1 appeared on the Hot 10 in 2026, mainly because copies aren’t listed often or at a price point that commands a quick sale
Only 6 first printing, graded copies sold in 2026 – two of the sales occurred this week of data collecting (two additional sales occurred after the data collection deadline)
Just one first printing, ungraded copy sold in 2026 – a low grade copy that went for $5,000
