"Lemme call a buddy of mine who knows the Ninja Turtles 🐢 very well" Master Splinter comes in.

You know things are serious when Rick calls in The Undertaker to appraise a comic book

Mr Eastman is so humble, honestly saying he doesn’t know what it’s worth, he wasn’t cocky saying it’s worth over $100,000. I love his work!

I just loved it when he said "if you are going to get 20k how about 30k?" . It was pretty dumb but finally Rick getting a taste of his own medicine

I love how rick will use the "I'm a business man, not a gambler" meanwhile in some other episodes he's like "i'm taking a risk, i'm taking a gamble here" lol

A 9.8 sold by Heritage Auctions in 2019 for $90,000, but that includes their 20% buyer's premium. So probably about $72,000. Others in similar condition ranged from $52,000-66,000, but still in a little better shape than the one in the video. One in slightly lesser grade sold in 2020 for $45,600. None of those, however, were autographed. That said, an autographed 9.2 sold for $39,600 this past January.

When they called a comic expert in I definitely didn’t expect to see the lovechild of Undertaker & Scott Steiner with a British accent walk into the shop...

Appraiser: “Alright retail value is 11,000 dollars” Seller: “Ok so how about you give me 30,000?”

9.6 of this book today is worth $76K. And this one is signed and verified on the show is probably worth a lot more than that!

As a comic fan, a Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtles fan. This was amazing to watch.

"Lemme call a buddy of mine who knows The Turtles 🐢 very well" Mitch McConnell comes in.

I'm so glad that he walked away!!

I did some research on this comic and found it around the same price that is was appraised at on this show however it was without the autograph. Probably around 15 to 20k is accurate with the autograph. I read that the original sketch for the photo on the cover of the comic sold at auction for about 70k which is why I think the seller was asking 60k because he mistook the sketch price for the price of the comic book.

Kevin Eastman is such a legendary comic book artist ever. I always loved the story of how the TMNT came to be and YES this was completely true of Kevin and Peter. The guy was crazy though to think that comic would go 60 thousand, I mean Kevin is a legend, but the legend he and Peter wanted to be was Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. 11,000 definitely worth the comic indeed.

"How about 30k? You can then sell it for 20k" lol that cracked me up.

One of the few smart sellers I've seen on this show. Good for him!

Finally they didnt bring out the weird IPad holding fraud guy that thinks he knows everything about signatures .

Worthless negotiation. Sell ​​it online to the highest bidder.

When an “expert” comes through it’s almost always the same story. It be like, “wow this is extremely rare, this is insane, howd you acquire this?, but wait it only worth $200” 🤣☠️ then Rick offers $20 for it.

I remember when this was $300 at local conventions and my parents said no and it was "too expensive".

Chumlee's face at the end 😂😂😂 He really wants that book

He could probably sell it on eBay and get 30 grand. The smartest thing he did was walk out of there.

Always cool when they bring in the person whos object it is or something they signed. Its a bonus surprise all the time. Awesome story of how the Turtles started too. Was fun to watch. Great video

You know Rick's excited when he called in a 2nd expert.

The second expert looks like he wants to fight the guy. "So, what've we got here" 👏👏

Rick: " Let me call a guy " Me: *sight* not that stupid fake autograph guy again *Ralph Macchio walks in* Me: :O

1:10 the guy's face lights up when Kevin Eastman walks in. Yeah I'd probably do the same. Lol

Eastman is a legend........the fact that my childhood came from a joke is crazy.......TURTLE POWER!!!

How did you get Kevin Eastman over so fast? He said it was signed by Kevin, your like "let's ask him" then Kevin Eastman walks in

“I’m a businessman not a gambler” nice sales talk i will use that. Hehe

This is an insult to the teenage mutant ninja turtles comic book community

The owner of this comic book, should've had the creator and the appraiser there at the same time when negotiations were on the table.

Rick: I got a guy that knows everything about the ninja turtles Shredder walks in. Says comic is worthless

Am I the only one who feels like rick calls the experts and says hey value this item 2-10k under...

Comic book expert ( 2nd guy ) looks like The Undertaker.

Chumlee's face says it all at the end... hes thinking in his head "even I ain't as stupid as this dude.."

That comic book expert reminds me of The Undertaker!

This book was bigger height and length than other comic books. I remember when this book came by UPS to the comic shop. My boss gave some away as a thank you to customers because some of them came damaged 😨 So 3000 copies, USA distribution only and 20% of them came pre-damaged. Yeah, rare!!! 2nd printing was about the same. The cover had 2nd printed on the inside. Wish I kept some ☹

If I had that copy of the original TMNT comic, I would never, ever, EVER, try to sale it. 🤓👍

Rick: Let me call in The Undertaker to price this thing..

Kevin Eastman! That is super cool. Wish he had talked about the production of that first issue.

The expert looks like the undertaker

I bet rick's gonna contact his buddy oroku saki for this.

I remember that in some versions, Splinter was a rat who became human-like, and in others, he was a human who became rat-like.

Can you do 30?? It’s valued at 20 .. think this guy should get his college money back

That clap though at 3:04 Ahahahah

That British dude def ended up buying it for 15 when he went to get it pressed 😂

It would be hard for me to sell that. It's such a beautiful comic

As a humongous ninja turtle fan I geeked out so badly in this video!

1:42 little brother watching older brother doing older brother thingies

Rick stores his experts in the basement winter soldier style

Steve goes BOOM! Love it!

It's valued currently at $11k. A press can cost between $20-$25. CGC charges if you have a subscription about $50. I would do the less than $100 investment and get that $20k. And tbh I don't think he'll ever get 20k for that book

Rick's bald head, Chumley and comment section is best part of the show

Guy nearly walked off without it. Are you sure you own it buddy 😁

Smart man. Did the right thing. You can see Rick wanted it.

The seller: would you consider 30 grand? He said it could be worth 20 grand...oh nevermind

“Well would you take 30k for it? You might be able to sell it for 20?” 😂😂☠️

That guy is DREAMING if he thinks he can sell that comic for $60 k.

Rick: I dont know the value of this book, let me call in my buddy who is a fictional martial arts character straight out of a comic book. He will know more about this then I do.

1:57 and then Eastman and Laird put their bongs away

Turtle head. LOL

1992 runnin home off the bus. Homework later I'm gonna miss the turtles

This is an insult to the tmnt first print first edition community

-Its worth 11k. (seller) -No! It´s worth 50k, but i want 60k.

Seller to Rick: "Would you go 30 for the chance it may go for 20"? LOL

Man said give me 30k and maybe u can get 20k out of it🤣🤣💀

The great thing about this scene is that the comic expert actually puts on gloves just getting NEAR the product he’s estimating grade on. There are so many “expert” morons on this show that will pick up a grade 6-8 with their bare hands and open up the pages, which decreases the value of the item in and of itself.

Dont go to a pawn shop asking for asking price lol

Always call Rebecca! For everything!

Smart man. I was yelling dont sell it...lol

I've browsed pawn shops all my life and I've never seen any pawn shop worker ever ask a customer how much they want for an item.

Love comics. Love Rebecca a little more. So this video just doesn’t do the job.

Who knew The Undertaker was such a fan of comic books!? 😮😂

hahaha-HA!!! The undertaker chockslammed you dreams!!!

Rick: How much you want? Seller: I heard someone sold it for 100 million Rick: 😑

Shredder and I got along famously..

Reality: The Eastman and Laird run of TMNT is closing in on the upper echelon of comic book prices. Ninja Turtles are close to being in the same category as Super-Man, Batman, The Flash, Spider-Man, Captain America, and Iron Man....all of which have gotten upwards of 500,000 dollars or millions for their respective number 1's, even in some cases, comics graded as low as 5 or below. The TMNT number 1, first print, has reportedly sold for 150,000 and 250,000 in some cases for a 9.0 or over. But, the point of this is, Rick Harrison poo-poos on some collectibles as not his thing, which are generally given to Chumlee (ex, comics, shoes, video games, etc). Rick supposedly doesn't deal in Nazi paraphernalia, Ivory.....or baseball cards from after 1960 and beanie babies. I have lists from auctions in which the TMNT number 1 has sold for over 30 to 50 thousand....and in recent years, the number appears to be skyrocketing. Every generation has Ninja Turtles as part of their pop culture and I don't think that will change anytime soon. BUT - if you're a Pawn Shop dealer, you're not looking to pay 50K for what could eventually be more than 1 million in 20 years.

I like this appraisal guy. Good character to bring in

4:58 his face 😂

Me: When can I bye that. My mum: When you get a job. Me: I'm never going to get that.

Get it pressed and professionally graded. Take that sucker to a rare comic auction event and sell it to real collectors. That's what Rick would have done.

That is such a best dealing and nice ended that this puppy has ever seen

Occasionally smart sellers walk into the pawn shop - that was one of them

I would have done anything to meet Kevin Eastman. One of my idol's

Chumlee looks great. Taking care of himself!

The expert they brought in actually works at Torpedo comics in Las Vegas! I’m pretty sure he knows his stuff! Well... from everything I’ve seen in all of the live shows the shop has! It definitely sounds like he does!

keep it longer!

Imagine if the second guy comes in and says this is not authentic signature lmao

In Sept. 2021 one of these sold for around $40k. It was not autographed and it was graded at same level.

"but it's signed..." "yeah? just-a-sec, lemme go get him"

Update: it sold for $290,000 at auction 6 months ago..............Just kidding

It's funny how Eastman and Laird were joking around one day and then there joke idea became a huge property that is still beloved today

The undertaker🤣🤣🤣

All collectors should go on this show get the demand up and tell Rick to stick it where the sun don't shine

I was there when he came in to have it pressed at a restoration business. I let him cut in front. Thank god. As they tried to iron out the crease it caught fire. 3rd degree burns over 70 percent of said product.

“I have the shroud of Turin, it heals any disease!” Rick - “best I can do is a $50 target gift card”

This episode got me thinking...Can the creator appraise his/her own creation? I mean thats like asking Leonardo Davinci how much is the mona lisa worth?

Good call, guy. Send it to CGC, along with this video.
