Set Description:

Although, I have never been a huge TMNT fan, I bought the first four issues off the stands at the advice of a LCS worker. I was in college at the time and went ahead and picked them up. Never read any of them but stuck them in mylar and there they sat until I subbed them for slabbing.

I have come to appreciate the iconic cover the first issue. My set description details how I purchased this and the other issues in this set off the stands. My OCD forced me to buy the first four issues and never open them after I bought them. My plan is to hang on to them for a little while and then auction this issue and the others to fund a portion of my child's education. Although with the cost of education continuing to rise, I hope the value rises. I wish I would bought more but no way I can complain with what I have.

I really like the blues and blacks in the cover. I have found out that this issue is infamous for not holding on to white pages and my OCD makes me want to find one a 9.8 with white pages. My OO set was second printing of the second issue which really surprised me but that was almost 30 years ago and I guess I didn't pay attention back then. Still no complaints as my OCD forced me to add this book to my set to complete my set of all 9.8s.

A surreal cover with light blues and blacks make this cover a keeper. I remember how different these books were at the time and as I said they never grabbed. I was a Marvel and DC guy but got heavily into the indies as the 1980s went on. I actually bought two copies of this issue and #4 off the stands. The other is contained in my other TMNT set.

I really like this cover. Green seems to be appropriate for a turtle book. This was one of two copies of this issue that I bought off the stands. I kind of wish I would have continued buying the series now even though the value decreases. Never would have dreamed how iconic the turtles would become but that's what makes them valuable now.
