Just added some new books yesterday. Batman Eternal, Batman '66 and assorted Knightfall books. Also a really cool Batman '66 #1 SDCC variant signed by Burt Ward, Lee Meriweather, and Adam West!

I'll take one signed if you can get it graded

Hey guys, As I've said in the FS threads for my Batman collection. All books are graded and 99% are high grade. The ones that don't sell here are getting moved to eBay. I've put a link to my eBay store and will be bumping this thread. Thank's to all who look and buy! Comixfanatic eBay Store

Does anybody have any suggestions for framing? Type of glass, mats, and stuff. I'm wanting it to be top notch archival stuff so this art and things stay great forever and don't want it to yellow.

Well, it came in. I can't wait to get it framed.

Great books toitle!! I love those counterfeit books with sigs. Regardless of authenticity those things are killer and a part of TMNT history, thanks for sharing!!

Here is a neat little gem I got yesterday. I'm going to have it pressed and hope it hits a 9.4 or higher. Love to get this puppy signed by Kevin and Peter.

Looks like a guy on HA.com just turned my offer down for a Turtlemania 9.8 white cover. The offer would have had the top spot on the GPA, search continues....

Okay, I'll overpay for an item if I want it but that's ridiculous. 11k? You could get a 9.6 first print #1 and some nice rare OA for that.

As long as it went to a TMNT fan I'm happy (thumbs u Finding the raw in good shape is not a huge ordeal but the staples on this book are a nightmare.

No, not that I've seen. Really that or gold, especially gold. I would have gotten that 9.8 white if I hadn't had a total system failture. Phone and sniper together. I'll put it this way, I've got enough saved back now and on top of selling my Batman collection off, if a silver, gold, or Gobbledygook #1 & #2 come up. I'm gonna be the new owner.

I had a 9.8 Turtlemania on eBay all set up and my phone messed up and auction sniper didn't work correctly. Great books!! The journey for white 9.8, silver, and gold continues.

Really? Now I really feel like an insufficiently_thoughtful_person because I've been scoping the site everyday for awhile. Thanks guys, I'll get some scans when it comes in. Now to find some older commissions...search continues!

Man, it was luck honestly. I've been checking his website like a hawk the last few days and BAM some new stuff got posted yesterday I think(might have been Wednesday night) and I jumped on this piece. Can't wait to see it in person.

Just bought this from Kevin's collection. It's from issue #5, page 8. I'll take a scan when I get it in. It's supposed to ship next week. Can't wait..

I ended up paying around $1200 for it if I remember right. I didn't think that was that bad considering if I wanted it pressed it would grade higher. It was from Kevin though so I didn't give two damns about the grade. I've put some pics of the photocopy number #1 signed and the intro letter.

Just got this in from eBay. It was sold by KevinEastmanStudios so I would assume it's from Kevin's collection. The book is gorgeous and presents MUCH better than a 7.5 and honestly could be pressed to a 8.5 or so I think. The kicker is, it came with an envelope that had a letter from Kevin, several photo copies of different covers(first turtle, first poster, etc...) and the last was a photo copy of the first cover signed by Kevin. Guys, I'll tell ya, I've met a lot of artists. I have yet to meet Kevin but this guy is the best/friendliest in the business based on this one act. I'm beyond stoked to have this in my collection and will treasure the papers with it forever.

Oh wow Adam that's incredible!!

Yes, if I remember correctly CGC will charge you the magazine tier for grading due to the larger size. I believe the coupons are for standard size submissions only. Somebody with a little more expertise in the coupon department might be able to help a little more.

That's all the Lego variants I think Adam. Two released this year at SDCC. I love these covers.

Got some stuff in from CGC today. Really glad this Lego Edition came back 9.8, tough to find in good shape. Also got back 4 Limited Edition sketch pack 30th Anniversary books. Just love that cover.

Look's like I won the #3 variant that KevinEastmanStudios was selling on eBay. Beyond stoked!!

Also, to everybody in this TMNT thread, like I told Dan(SpideyFein) I'm selling 90% of collection. I've decided to shift everything to my true passion and that's TMNT. With that said, I'm going to be moving about 900 to 1000 Batman slabs. Yes, you read that correctly. Now, creating price lists, inventory, and stuff is going to be one of the most time consuming adventures I've ever dealt with. With that being said you guys get first dibs at my stuff. Just go to my registry and you'll see everything. EVERYTHING is for sell except anything TMNT, Transformers, and my Dark Knight Returns set. Let me know if you see something. I'll be starting a sales thread soon I hope and I'm starting with 600's to 700's. Like I said, very time consuming but I feel it'll be worth to go after and collect something that's always been a part of my life. Any questions fire away!

$100 isn't bad for it though...it's getting to be a tough book to find for cheap. 20+ years ago I could find that book every day for less than $5. Plus, I'd buy back-issues in bulk sometimes and Turtlemania would included. Good luck on the Gold & Silver hunt. Very hard books to find. Gold is still something I need but prices have just been too high every time I've had the chance to buy. What's frustrating is the book is in NM condition wise. No spine ticks, sharp corners, and a press would make it better.

Yeah, I know. I got burned on it. I paid $100 for it raw. It would grade at maybe 7.0. I'm great at reading conditions but not at knowing what stains and such will deduct from the grade. It would be a good book once pressed and graded to have the guys sign it. No to find a silver and gold.....
