TMNT #1 CGC 9.8 SKETCH SS 2X MISPRINT/ERROR/RECALLED 2009 PRINTING 1ST IN COLOR

Description: TMNT #1 CGC 9.8 SKETCH SS 2X MISPRINT/ERROR/RECALLED 2009 PRINTING 1ST IN COLOR Product InformationCheck out this beautiful 9.8 (NM/MT) professionally graded CGC Signature Series copy of the exceptionally low print run MISPRINT/RECALLED/ERROR EDITION VARIANT of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 Color Special (2009). Signed 2x, by TMNT co-creator KEVIN EASTMAN, along with long-time TMNT artist STEVE LAVIGNE -- a legend in his own right, Lavigne was the very first artist Eastman & Laird ever hired, and he was the colorist on this very issue -- who also sketched this copy above his signature! Gorgeous turtle-green paint pen signatures both of which came out looking absolutely amazing!There have been a number of additional printings of the original #1 issue over the years, and the "Color Special" edition of TMNT #1 was a special 25th anniversary printing where Mirage published this key book in full color for the first time ever.The first run of just 1,000 copies printed (that's a third of the print run of the original #1 issue from 1984) was manufactured with font problems and hatch patterns on interior pages in error, prompting a quick "RECALL & DESTROY" notice. Misprinted/recalled comics are prized by collectors for their comparable rarity. Survival count for this misprint following the recall notice was estimated by resources such as RecalledComics which pegs estimated survival count at 800 copies, rendering this one of the rarest Mirage TMNT comics in existence!Lastly if you are not already aware, CGC is the best authentication for comic books available. It is the only way to guarantee that you are getting the real deal encapsulated in a protective casing slapped with a certified grade by true professionals in the industry. So anyway check this out because these beauties will be harder to come by as time goes by! This comic has nice eye appeal and will make a great addition to the collection of the TMNT fan or hobby collector/investor in general as it will continue to appreciate in value for years to come!
