A new TMNT “Pizza Party” pop-up sale is live, with 25–50% off “everything” in the shop/auction. In the livestream, the hosts walk through where the TMNT inventory appears, how discounting is applied across different formats (runs, slabs, and exclusives/variants), and how to make smarter offers on rare and numbered lots.
They also share community updates around Discord and future “raid train” livestream planning, plus a rare TMNT-adjacent story time involving a Fanatics-published book called “Eagles of the Vortex.”
TMNT “Pizza Party” pop-up sale: 25–50% off everything
The stream opens with the promotion: this is a “pizza party” pop-up show where everything is discounted by 25% to 50%. The hosts confirm that the TMNT selection is accessible in the auction area.
As the sale runs, they rotate through multiple categories of items, including:
- Comic runs and discounted inventory
- CGC-graded slabs
- Exclusives and variants
- Live pricing callouts, including moments where bids begin at low (“dollar-start”) levels
If you’re shopping specifically for CGC slabs, the sale format includes graded items rather than limiting deals to raw books.
Where to find TMNT listings + Discord/community updates
The hosts direct viewers to the auction tab to find TMNT listings. They frame the sale as a coordinated event, and they repeatedly tie it to community activity.
Alongside shopping, they discuss building out Discord community channels and using the Discord as the place for updates and giveaways. The livestream also references:
- Discord giveaway activity (including winners being called out)
- “Raid train” planning for future livestreams, including how seller run times may be coordinated
- Website changes, including that new features have already been posted while they build and test the site before pushing more traffic
If you want a more synchronized buying experience, the hosts encourage keeping an eye on Discord and the site updates while the sale is running.
CGC slabs, rare variants, sketch cards, and practical pricing tips
The hosts’ collecting focus goes beyond “what’s on sale” and into “how to evaluate deals.” They discuss several collector-relevant topics as items are featured.
Slabs and grade expectations
The stream includes discussion of CGC-graded books in the context of the discount event. The takeaway is that sale pricing can apply across both slabs and other formats, so it’s worth checking both when shopping the TMNT section.
Rare variants and exclusives
They highlight that the pop-up sale includes rare TMNT-related variants and exclusives, including crossovers. The hosts also point out that short-run items may show up with pricing that moves based on current demand.
Individually numbered sketch cards
A featured item is an individually numbered sketch card (described as “25 out of 50 / 27 out of 50” in the transcript summary). The host describes the subject matter (Mikey feeding a dinosaur pizza) and discusses typical vs. current pricing.
The practical value for buyers is that numbered items tend to have limited availability, so you may need to compare the ask against the card’s specific numbering and the current market moment.
Numbered comic pricing tip: divide price by the number of books
One of the most actionable tips in the livestream is how to evaluate numbered lots.
The advice is to:
1. Ask for (or confirm) photos and details.
2. Send/receive the seller’s requested price.
3. Use a simple value check: divide the total asking price by the number of books.
This helps you gauge whether the deal makes sense for the lot’s limited quantity. The hosts specifically mention buying with attention to “the number of the books” and “the price the person is looking at,” then comparing it using that price-per-book method.
Collector decisions: slab vs. signatures, remarking, and signatures
The livestream also covers decision-making for collectors when dealing with signed or modified issues.
They discuss how collectors think about:
- Whether to slab items or leave them raw
- Whether to add signatures later
- Remarking choices and how collectors may decide what signatures to include
The discussion includes mention of signature subjects and remarking considerations in relation to Mirage-related content, as well as the broader idea that collectors debate which text to leave versus which signatures to add.
If you’re buying during a deal event, this segment is useful because it frames value not only as “grade and price,” but also as “what the book will become with signatures/remarks.”
Rare TMNT-adjacent find: “Eagles of the Vortex” Fanatics pitch material
In the middle of the stream, the hosts shift into “story time” about a rare TMNT-adjacent item: a book titled “Eagles of the Vortex.”
According to the transcript summary, the book was created by Mirage artists and published under a Fanatics imprint for potential licensing. The key detail is that these “Vortex” books were intended as pitch material and were never released through normal comic distribution.
The host suspects that copies may have surfaced later through Mirage’s shutdown-era “basement” sales on eBay. The group also notes there may be at least two other similar Fanatics books that were never released to distributors.
For collectors, the relevance is clear: uncommon publishing history can dramatically affect rarity and demand, and that’s the kind of background that often isn’t obvious from marketplace listings alone.
How to evaluate numbered lots in the sale (what to ask sellers)
When you’re messaging sellers for scarce items, the livestream gives a specific buying workflow.
The hosts recommend:
- Requesting photos (and any details the seller can provide)
- Asking the seller what price they’re looking for
- Using the price-per-book calculation for numbered lots (divide the total ask by the number of books)
A specific example mentioned in the summary is an individually numbered comic (described as “23 out of 25”), associated with a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive related to “Shredder looks to the rescue.” Even though individual listing details vary, the method stays the same: confirm the exact numbering and compare the ask to a per-book value.
Final thoughts
The TMNT “Pizza Party” pop-up sale isn’t just a discount event—it also functions like a collector-focused walkthrough. The hosts emphasize where to find TMNT listings (the auction tab), how community updates and future “raid train” planning connect to the sale, and how to make smarter offers with a numbered-lot pricing method.
If you’re hunting rare variants, CGC slabs, sketch cards, or unusual TMNT-adjacent items like “Eagles of the Vortex,” this stream’s guidance gives you a practical framework for shopping while discounts are active.
