Was that the one that had the sketches on the slab? 

that's the one. I finally got back from my deployment and got to actually have the book in hand. Between moving my family out to Louisiana and then all this going on in the world just wasn't able to get to it till now. 

With Ronin coming out this year, could it be possible that Laird may be doing a couple more signings this year than in the past? I know Steve has said he is gonna be at a show in Texas this year that Kevin is gonna be at, would love to see Peter be there as well. My dream/goal/grail has been to get my 2nd print #1  signed by Kevin and Peter. I could get Kevin's easy by sending it to anyone I know going to a show but I want to get these ones specifically in person.

I'd say it's worth a note.  I'd write something on the submission form and then put a post-it note on the case asking for its return.  They've returns certificates/bags/etc. in the past to my with my submissions, so it's not impossible.

A crafty person could turn that case into a nice signature display piece with a little effort.  Plenty of clean room to add Kevin as well. 

Alright. I’ll give it a shot. Might see if anyone from cgc here would be able to answer if they would as well. I’d absolutely love to add Kevin to it being it has Peters sig on it already 

What’s everyone’s thought on the going asking prices online for the Eastman/laird tmnt 100 variant. Seeing people/sites asking 200 already for it. That’s the one cover I want but no way I’d could or would pay that for it

Can you request they send it back? 

i highly doubt they would. For me though as I had said, it's not a big loss. I'm just happy to own a 2nd print again.

Sad to give up the signatures/sketches with a recase (I assume they're all on the case), but great book nonetheless. Congrats 

Indeed they are on the case but the only I’m sad about is the laird sig since he’s so hard to get. As much as I love Talbots work (I have a turtle drawn by him as a center piece in my tattoo sleeve) he means nothing to this book. The only sigs I personally would want in it are kevin and Peter.  Selling my second print is the only thing I regret selling over the last year so when my wife said it was alright to get this I made it all worth it. Now we’ll send it off. I can’t wait to get back from this deployment to see it in person 

Well guys I got my second printing. I’ll be sending it in to be recased as it’s cracked. This is an upgrade for me compared to what I had owned before. I’m happy to finally own this book again. 

I can manage around the 6-700 if graded in that range. I don't even need it to be graded. I hoping I can come across someone selling one in time. Just gonna set aside for when I do. Thinking of parting out my silverage Flash collection when I get back from this deployment to go towards ones

I would say a FN / VF CGC would be in that 700.00- 800.00 range

VF CGC 8.0ish would be in that 1000.00 dollar range. 

Hope to hear from others responses.

Dang I can see this has jumped up a lot since I bought mine back in '17. I paid 250 for it then. 

What price range can I expect/look for on my search for a FN or higher 2nd print #1? I sold mine last year (along with 1st Prints of 2-4 + Raph one shot) and have regretted it ever since. I'd love to have that set back but more than anything I want to pick up #1 again. 

Is it possible to have this added to the Current run Flash set:

Went to the Boston show yesterday. Early Turtles stuff is sky high. Even reprint issues, like issue 1 4th and 5th print and the later FCBD reprint, have crazy sticker prices. Like $50 for very fine copies. I saw a $1000 sticker on a Fine second print. 

Was good to see Steve and Dee Lavigne. I couldn't resist picking up the original blue lines for Steve's rendition of the issue 1 cover. 

Thats a great piece. I really do miss going to Boston Comic Con. I would go every year when i was stationed out there in '12-15. Met Eric Talbot and thats when I got my first commission piece from him back in '15

I'm surprised this passed the censors.  Who thought this would be appropriate for kids?!!

I have no idea 😂

Rich is hands down my go to guy to get signed/my books signed. I can't thank him enough for the work he puts in for us.
