But I realized yesterday that he's on the cover of Leonardo 1 that came out a few months before. So is that Shredder's first cover appearance? Or is this something that doesn't matter in the TMNT comic fandom? I can tell you that it doesn't matter to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauce Dog Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 So what's everyones guess on what this epic piece sells for?

Icculus308win Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 ....About Tree Fiddy No clue final hammer price, but I’m excited to see it. A great provenance to boot. Neat C-Link has it, was honestly surprised not seeing a Heritage or Metro link when clicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icculus308win Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Wow just learned from jimcas43 (TMNT Registry) a few minutes ago, he has “sold his entire collection.” He told me upon asking him if I could give some cash and trade a 9.8 #23 I just got back from CGC, for his #13 9.8. ***Just wanted to let fellow TMNT Boardies/collectors know and be aware*** Edited August 3, 2020 by Icculus308win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is this something that doesn't matter in the TMNT comic fandom? I'm late to this party, but if you want to get super technical about it, neither cover features Oroku Saki/Shredder. He was killed in issue #1 and the versions we see in that arc and the Return to New York arc are clones comprised of worms and magic. It's kinda like the Alien franchise. Ripley dies in Alien 3, but there's a clone of Ripley in Alien: Resurrection. It looks like Ripley and it goes by Ripley, but it's something wholly different altogether. ...Plus both Shredder and Ripley have failed clones that make appearances. The analogy works pretty well.

Popular Post spracknetch23 Posted August 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2020 I thought collectors would like to see these cool pieces of history, which we usually only see in the ads of the early comics. 12 of the 14 iron-ons, which were sold in '84-85. I'm having a heck of a time locating the final two for the collection to be complete. Anyone got a time machine? telerites, Sauce Dog, ADAMANTIUM and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
