I guess I won't be submitting anytime soon to CGC until this gets rectified. They lost my business for now.

Checkmate indeed. I apologize to Kevin Eastman because I just glanced at the picture and didn't know it was him. I would say it's a very expensive ad page of the turtles, even though it's not considered a comic book. If you can prove something like this, that's fine I guess for the first or second person down the line trying to sell them. What's stopping someone, down the line, to reproduce those Gobbledygooks and pass the fakes ones as the genuine ones with the signature letters and with the picture of Kevin Eastman of himself? As the Riddler says, "Riddle me this, riddle me that!" That's right Batman. That's why I stick with real books. Kevin Eastman should have talked to CGC and just flat out told them "What do I need to do for you guys to accept these Gobbledygooks?" Then it would be slabbed. I guess maybe he tried that and then had to resort to picture taking. I guess this can go on forever about these Xerox copies, but anyways I apologize to Kevin Eastman once again for not recognizing him in the beginning. Thanks for creating the turtles. I love them. Whoever buys them, have fun and enjoy.

I'm looking at the signature from the letter and some of the CGC signatures what Kevin Eastman actually signed. From the letter, Kevin's T is jagged at the bottom and the CGC signatures are not. On the letter of Kevin's signature, the line in the 'K' passes thru, but on his other CGC signatures, they do not. And on the letter, Kevins 'K' is separated from the other signature, but on the CGC sigantures, they are close together. The letter can be genuine, but I see differences in the signature. Maybe he uses two kinds of signatures. I only use one form of signature, and if I'm tired or not, they usually look the same. That's why the Gobbledygooks will always be a problem. Maybe you can contact Kevin himself if he is approachable one day and see if did sign the letter. In the meantime, I'll be somewhere in the sewers.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh NO! Notary please!!!! I can write that letter and say it was from him. If I was in Dale's shoes, I would go out and notarize my letter showing my copies of the books, and then I would fake Kevin's letter. What's the difference. I've watched to many shows with fake COA's (certificate of authenticity) and fake signature's. Then again, if I had a close Uncle, who's a notary, and we can conspire, he can notarize my copy of Kevin's signature as well. So what's real and what's not. A real comic book I guess. Only way to do it right would be to have a notary with a picture of you and Kevin, and when the Gooks gets passed down to a new owner, another notary with the picture of previous and new owners, and so forth. Really cumbersome I say.

Some one is selling a set of Gobbledygooks here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GOBBLEDYGOOK-1-2-TEENAGE-MUTANT-NINJA-TURTLES-TMNT-EASTMAN-PIC-LETTERS-/130963144383?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item1e7e02febf#ht_4535wt_1170 For those of you who might want to buy these. He wants $15,000. For me, I think those letters should have been notarized by a professional. Just me.

I'll be happy to upgrade to 9.4. $30,000 can only be paid at two times the market value if there was only one 9.8 out there.

For Archon_Turtle response about the "copier fade" in the Gobbledygook #1 and #2. I think if a criminal can produce a good looking fake $100 bill nowadays (Episode of American Greed), I think someone can produce a simple Gobbledygook #1 or #2 look a like. With todays computer technology and the printers that are out there, it can be done.

$30,000 for a TMNT #1 first issue. If I had the money I offer $13,000. There were only 3 at 9.8 when one sold for $22,000. Now there's 13 out there at 9.8. Not worth $30,000. Not now for sure. Looks good though by a mile. <3

Here's Casey Jones as Rambo. I don't remember what issue this was. Have to go to each copy and to find out. Pen and ink by Eric Talbot as an interior page (15" X 20").

That's how a TMNT turtle suppose to look like. Awsome.

Nice copies. Really good third printing at 9.8.

The brave and the bold #28 had an ad page just like the TMNT had, an ad page. Just that. So why is it in the same ballpark then. Sounds to me like a speculation market for the Gobbledybook #1 and #2 amongst TMNT fans only. Only TMNT fans have those copies right?

Yeah, to me their worthless I guess. For someone else, they're seeing dollar signes in their eyes. I probably shouldn't have made that "worthless" statement. It's now at $4,050. I guess the reserve is very high. You're right Ryan, It's their money, they can do what they want with it. But, photocopies are not comic books. It's like high rollers at Las Vegas. They lose millions like it was an after thought.

It's get me upset because he's trying to sell them for $24,000 to sum sucker with no knowledge of PGX. Like the old saying goes, a fool is born everyday. Then comic books gets a bad rap. Like we need the comics meltdown of the late 1990's all over again. Just saying.

I guess I did.
