Raphael #1 CGC Qualified 8.0 – 1st Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Spin-Off, 1st Appearance of Casey Jones, Signed “Kevin Eastman”

This intriguing merchandise caught my consideration. At first look, you may assume this ebook would promote for a low quantity as a result of it obtained the dreaded inexperienced “Qualified” label from CGC. BUT once you take a better take a look at it, you see it solely obtained this grade due to “NAME & SKETCH WRITTEN ON COVER IN MARKER.” Upon nearer examination, the one that wrote that identify and drew that sketch is alleged to be none apart from Kevin Eastman himself.

Of course, the signature and drawing may very well be fraudulent. You might all the time crack this case and submit it to CBCS for his or her signature verification service. If it comes again a yellow label, you possibly can obtain a strong ROI assuming you should buy it for an honest value by way of this public sale.

At the time of this writing (February twenty seventh), the present bid was $31. It’ll promote larger for than for positive, however this public sale presents a chance to buy this ebook beneath FMV.
