I am unclear how to respond to the poll. If I vote for TMNT, am I voting this was the better deal for the buyer or the seller. I would rather have the AF15, how do I vote ?

Vote for the one that's "got".

 

There is no buyer or seller.

 

If you could "get" one of the two, which would it be?

That's a great point. I didn't do an economic analysis, I just chose the one I would rather have. That seemed more interesting than going to GPA and checking the numbers. lol

The Turtles 1 is the cooler book (in those grades) and far, far harder to come by, but it also has a much smaller buying pool at the ~$10,000 price point. I think the AF 15 is the better buy money-wise, but the Turtles is the better buy cool-wise.

It looks to me that if someone bought a TMNT 1 for say, $8600 and traded it for a 4.0, they may have gotten a 500-600 bump in FMV.

I voted TMNT. I'm in my early 30's, and the turtles were a big part of my childhood. That being said, I'm also a Spider-Man fan, and as a collector my main focus is the somewhat pedestrian goal of a full Spidey run. I WILL own a copy of AF 15 one day, at it will have the privilege of rotting into nothingness with me in my grave for eternity.

 

But I see 4.0 AF 15's all the time. As was previously mentioned, a 9.6 TMNT 1 is the cooler book.

I think the TMNT has more room to grow, less available and harder to find in that grade.

 

that being said, it also has a greater risk. people couldn't care about the turtles in 2-3 years while AF15 is a solid book for a long time
