Any CGC case may have minor imperfections including Newton rings, scuffs, standard surface wear, or minor cracks. CGC considers these defects acceptable, as do we. If there is any significant damage to the slab it will be noted in our description, and we will not list any slabbed comics with a damaged case that compromises the integrity of the grade.
Description
First printing. This first printing is the only printing that has an ad for Gobbledygook #1 & 2. Origin and 1st appearance of the Turtles and Splinter. Shredder appearance. According to Overstreet, the first printing is the only printing that has an ad for Gobbledygook #1 & 2. The four later printings of #1 can be identified as such by the printing information on the inside front cover. Counterfeit copies exist for this issue, most of which have a half inch wide white streak or scratch marks across the center of the back cover, as well as a bluish black instead of a deep black on the black part of the cover. Counterfeit copies also have very white inside paper and the inside cover is a bright white. $1.50 cover price, 7.5" x 11"
