Awesome turtlemania! Count me in as four, for any possible CGC SS appearance on the east coast! I can promise at least 20 books signed as well. I am excited!

Jared just paid a whopping sum for a grail he wanted, and that he luckily scored from me! I don't know how he got me to give up my favorite book, but he did. Also I allowed him to pay over time, over a few months, which he did with no problems, and maintained excellent communication. Good luck with you new grail Jared!

Dayum that sneak peek one looks awesome. Got an extra Pete?

Now you've got us interested...link to minicartoon plz EDIT: Confession, although I had already read and was hooked on some pretty bloody/violent turtle books (Turtle soup), when the kiddy TV series came out, I was still a huge fan. I will admit I skipped school more than a few days JUST to watch the show. Any kids reading this, don't try this at home!

Almost laughed my brain out my nose when I saw this. PS. Peter Parker your gold books make my day (always), and they look ten times better than the same comic in a blue label

Can wait to see! The books in your collection always make me drool

Cool man! I just realized theres no weapons..or can't see them ...so they are super kid "safe"

Super awesome Pete! I have never seen that back cover. I wonder if they really had a life size alien statue, or what that is all about Anyone going to see Kevin in New Orleans? I am a little bummed. I wish I could go but it's so far from New York.

That means even more overpriced TMNT's on ebay?

Hey dude, thanks for this post, and directing me here. You can tell a counterfeit by the back cover, there is a huge smudge on it. Bad picture from an old ebay listing but you can see the white stripes and a smudge going horizontally about halfway down: This is my copy of the counterfeit, you can see the smudge much better in this picture: This thread was awesome and made me go

There was a great thread about the differences in TMNT #1 printings awhile back. It's a must read if you are in the market to buy. Here is the link: Ninja Turtles - Differences between printings? Holy cow man! I've been into Turtles #1 for a while and never knew that! I cannot believe it. My mind is blown. How can a third print be labeled as a first? This is craziness. I'm only on page 4 of the 24...must read more! Thank you for the post!

Q: Counterfeit? Signatures look a bit wacky (but not that much), and the ink seems super dark, just like the counterfeit... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-TMNT-1-1st-Print-Signed-Eastman-Laird-CGC-worthy-/290812776119?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item43b5caceb7

the Paint and Pixel Festival is Oct 20 in Northampton, MA: http://paintandpixelfestival.com/ Halo65 : that OA is amazing and so early....what a find, insane!

Ok that's 40... 160 books to go! Anyone else?

That sketch is awesome Pete! Question: Who is going to go to see Peter Laird at the Paint and Pixel festival? and Who would be willing to help set up a CGC SS submission thingy? I can guarantee at least 30 books I want to get signed. CGC says we needs 200, and a retailer to be there. Anyone want to help arrange this with me?

Trade you my 2nd print 9.8 for your 1rst print 9.8?

Funking super nice! Can I ask what the two #1's are? I'm drooling! EDIT: I see a first print and a third?

Yep, like this gem I saw on ebay years ago: Fonking nice signature! "Pete" Laird Also loving the squigglies, like oh my gosh how cute!

2nd Print TMNT #1 - CGC 9.6 (drumroll...) $900 ! http://www.ebay.com/itm/TEENAGE-MUTANT-NINJA-TURTLES-1-CGC-9-6-2ND-PRINT-1-OF-ONLY-6-2ND-HIGHEST-GRADE-/250972115208?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item3a6f1a9108#ht_1174wt_779

Friend sent this to me today

Another paid $550 for a second print http://www.ebay.com/itm/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-TMNT-1984-1-CGC-9-6-Off-White-Pages-0501435001-/160694103570?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item256a1d6e12#ht_1536wt_1021 Regarding the last post - any clues to why?

Someone paid $400 for a 2nd print, cgc 9.6. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-1-CGC-9-6-2nd-Print-Mirage-Studios-1984-TMNT-/250965127809?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item3a6eaff281#ht_1478wt_1255 Any clues to why someone did that - is it really worth that much?
