If anybody has a copy they're thinking about putting up, let a brother know. Thanks! I miss my 4.0 and should probably delete the old picture.

(thumbs u My old and first copy. I'll never forget when I first unwrapped it. I literally couldn't stop looking at it. I'm glad it went to another great dude. Congrats and Welcome to the Club.

I like that cover! (thumbs u Some of these 30th Ann. and new IDW covers are great. Nice sigs! I love Dooney

Drop a gem on em! Can't wait to see em' I actually have a couple myself, that I just got back in trade and an old Peas mash up! I'll post tom

You're not getting too old. Lyrically, today's mainstream hip hop artists are garb compared to those back in the day, IMHO. They could have really made the turtle song pop (besides the hook). Nas would've ripped it up

It sold for $71,700 at Heritage after being displayed at the 35 days event at Meltdown with a ~$600,00.00 price tag. Not 100% on the 600K, but it was around there and greater than 1/2 a mil. http://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/kevin-eastman-and-peter-laird-first-ever-drawing-of-the-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-1983-/a/7059-92357.s He has done these nicer sketches at some shows and not others. I think he started selling these sketched 2012 Annual RE's around the same time the "Team Eastman 2014" art boards were first released. The pickup for the books on FCBD weekend was arranged prior to the Shellback signing, where they were picked up. TY again HANS! Thanks man. I'm hoping to pick up a Mikey or diesel Eastman sketch in NYCC. We shall see. I appreciate the info. As far as the hip hop video, it's tough for me to feel these new artists, although Juicy J's style makes me laugh. Def a catchy tune. Nothing beats "Iceman, you know I'm not I'm not playin" and that dance that I could break out in a whim Def showed some great action sequences. I agree Toitle- btw- I hope your summer is going well! Let's hope for some good turtle action next week.

Nice! Beat me to it. I will soon be joining in the tree of goodness!

TY. Kicking myself I didn't get my Raphael slabbed. Wasn't a huge fan of the colored bandanas. TMNT will always have red bandanas to me!!! I'm kind of shocked Eastman is selling his 1st turtle sketch. Feel that may be a regrettable action later on. It's like King Arthur selling excaliber... If form follows function and the first group shot sold for about 13% of the initial asking price when it was displayed at Metdown comics, will that be the true selling price of his 1st turtle? roughyl $256,000.00? hmm... I like the red bandanas also. When I show my 6 yr old the original comics she will say, "daddy how do you tell the difference?" My reply, "the weapons the carry." Haha I am not surprised that he is selling. With all the hype why not, it is a sellers market. I am sure he is sick of looking at it. Does anyone know how much the "proof copy" of TMNT #1 first print went for? That Raph is badass!!! +1. I love the old school arm. Question. This and the Casey look "beefier" than his regular quick sketches. Did he work on a few of these throughout the day, or went at it while others thirsted on line. Maybe Peas could answer best. Just curious. Thanks. Also, I think Eastman knows it will go for a premium and he has all the turtle memorabilia he wants. Yeah, a little weird that it's the "first turtle," but dough is dough.

Thanks man. I honestly didn't think I was going to get it. I thought I'd would have broken a g easy. It was exactly my max bid too! My eyes lit up

Yeah, the Shredhead and Technodrome rocks

Congrats! I saw this on ebay and put serious thought into buying it. Be sure to scan it when it's in-hand. Most definitely. I'm tempted to reach out to Eastman for a commission. Well, in time. Any thoughts or does anyone have experience doing so. When I had asked him he seemed open to the idea. Thanks.

Peas Rocks man. That Casey and Barbaric Fantasy are bananas. Well, this is me "chillin with the books." Well, I guess that doesn't mean art. I hope this doesn't start a trend, but this is my first official turtle OA I'm such a Feinnnnnn. I love it though

well thanks to Cools generous offer I'm going to excitedly take this awesome Colan page! my offer will be coming soon. Just PM your address Very Classy Andrew, and very classy all around. Not everyday a Colan OA piece is given away. Giving Tree- what a great place

Thanks man. That Kingpin is crisp! Niceeee. Here's my new Spidey beauty. It's my first time owning one. Finally! It's a clean one. You got a great deal on the book too. I saw when it went up on the boards. Nice book! I just picked up a 5.0 of the book for the first time. It is my favorite Ditko cover and I actually have a poster of it in my basement. I like the color and all the villains contrasted with the white back. Yeah, it say there for almost an hour and I couldn't resist any longer .i live it as well. We need a pic of the poster. What year is it from. Yes, great contrast. The more you look at it, the more you appreciate it. Congrats on the 5.0 Wowwww. Did it just have CT? He probably still has it. Guys are bananas with speculation. They'll pay good money for a book, and ask even crazier money for it.

That's awesome. Mikey ripped it up. The artists had a good point when they said the Nintendo game couldn't be beat. I'm the man at Nintendo/Genesis games, and I couldn't beat the damnnn game. I think I gotta break it out tonight.

Wowwww. That is ill. Like I said, when you're ready. I love that Raph. Holy Spoon. Tomorrow I'll post some of my Dooney's

It's you who has the Dooney Casey! I slept on it and in an instant it was gone. When you're ready to let it go, let a brother know. Thanks, and yes, the shredder blanks have a good deal of room to sketch. Here's another example.

that's all I gotta say

I never knew they created that pic. So Cool. I've had hundreds of these cards, but never a full set. I have the cycle in the box. I loved the cover art.

That's awesome I'm a spec. ed consultant and do a lot of community integration. Going out dinner is sometimes a perk (if my particular student is patient ). We just waited 45 minutes for the pizza. He was a gentleman. No craziness today. Calm waters.

I'm out to dinner with a student, and got amped (like a kid) when I saw this. I take it for what it is. I'm a turtle nut. I remember Pizza Hut back in the day was rockin turtles.

Group shot please I couldn't get a group shot (too many books). Here are some shots by print and vol. I will post vol 4 once it is complete. I have all the Dreamwave comics but I didn't take a picture. Turtletastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow. I love all the printings!!

Jared rocks, and bought a FF5 off me, paid immediately and was a gentleman throughout. Definitely would do biz again in a heartbeat. Thanks.

Niceeee. Here's my new Spidey beauty. It's my first time owning one. Finally! It's a clean one.

:applause:Very Very Nice man! Congrats.
