If I bought 1000 Bitcoins when it was $0.25 and now I'm worth millions yes

You don't even have to do that...  NFT market is hot this year, with a few like BAYC hitting massive success, and have only been minted in the past 5 months .  Lowest price right now for floor apes (commons) is $145K, up to 2M for rares, with a total of 10K were minted (I think each was first offered at 0.08 ETH, or $250-ish ).  It's a bubble no doubt, but damn is it interesting to see it explode to such HUGE levels (for blue chips like BAYC, Punks, Gutter Gang, VeeFriends, etc..) - see the recent Sotheby's auction to see how mainstream this has become - https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2021/ape-in/101-bored-ape-yacht-club

I just saw this update on Mirage's website:

September, 2021

Mirage Studios sold the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles intellectual property to Viacom/Nickelodeon in October 2009 and, after winding down business affairs over the last dozen years, the four Mirage corporations (Mirage Studios, Inc., Mirage Licensing, Inc., Mirage Publishing, Inc., and Mirage Management, Inc.) were dissolved in 2021. Mirage is no longer conducting any merchandise sales, either directly through this site or via eBay as of September 19th, 2021. This site will no longer be updated and is being maintained primarily as an archival resource related to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics published by Mirage between the years 1984 and 2010. While Mirage has gone out of existence, thanks to you, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will live on forever. Thank you all for your years of support. It has been a pleasure sharing the Turtles’ story and universe with you. Cowabunga!

Not surprised but it's still kind of a downer. End of an era. I've bought pieces of their back stock here and there over the years. I wonder what they will do with whatever was remaining in their warehouse. 

This does underscore how unlikely it is that Pete ever does a signing for CGC. He has simply moved on from TMNT.

Yep I feel the same way :( I find it somewhat ironic that Mirage dissolves at a time when interest in TMNT is at an all time high

Sad to see them go even though they haven’t published comics in years. For its original namesake, being named “Mirage” because of the fact they weren’t an “actual” studio.. 37 years is a good run. I suspect any of their remaining stock will go for sale on Eastman’s site.

Any idea how many TMNT 1 first print would be left in their stock and if they will finally be willing to blow them out at below wholesale prices just to get rid of them after all these many long decades?  lol  :takeit:

Well, with that many left and still unable to move them out after all these decades, they better be offering free shipping if they really do want to get rid of them.  lol  :takeit:

I've always been good with Peter Laird, I really aughtabe first in line :)

Had to share some OA I picked up at an estate sale a few months back...from #4 & #7 (second prints). It was part of a larger collection that went to Heritage

Very cool  to see a duotone, a technique which isn't around anymore...
