Description

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mike the Sewer Surfer AFA 85 NM+ ** POP 6 Highest-Grade ** (Playmates, 1991). Cowabunga meets California dreamin' in this wave-4 classic that turned Michelangelo into the ultimate beach bum, complete with crab-clutching surfboard, sunglasses, and tide-pool accessories. Early production runs flashed a white "NEW" starburst on the card front before Playmates swapped to yellow, making this first-issue backer the choice target for variant hounds. AFA's lofty 85 NM+ certification with subgrades of C85 B85 F85-one of only six recorded at this grade and none higher. Whether you ride the gnarly wave of Series 4 or chase every Mikey makeover, this top-population surfer is ready to anchor any vintage TMNT lineup before he shreds off into another collector's pipeline.
