Patrick Past few months preoccupied with my sons’ and when their coveted nba/nfl: blaster, mega, box, hybrid and hobby boxes are in and ready to pick up Not to mention the original delay(s) with the Ronins, I didn’t know if the 2s were even on target. I had a box in my car since last week of some Graphic Novels, TPBs, Omnibuses to drop off at my comic store. On a whim just happened to work yesterday afternoon to swing by. I was floored when I walked in and he goes, “You’re here for your Ronins” I laughed and said, “Not remotely, but I am fricken now” Icing on the cake was due to my box of goodies, my copies yesterday and rest of series are for free I gotta say - Edited February 18, 2021 by Icculus308win sorrenmj, ADAMANTIUM and Turtle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I went in to pick it up. I remember going in for issue #1. They had no copies on the shelf. Luckily I started a pull list for Last Ronin so mine was set aside. Yesterday I went in to browse around before picking up my copy from my file. They had 8+ copies of the standard cover and another 8+ copies of the Eastman variant right on the shelves. As I'm browsing, at least 5 people come in to pull their stashes from their files. All of them had Last Ronin in them. The series seems to be picking up steam. I hope they can maintain the momentum! Icculus308win 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icculus308win Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Yep, when I was there two guys picked up Ronins in their pile behind the desk and two kids grabbed Ronins from the shelves. That was just in 30 minutes time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post whetteon Posted February 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Digital Webbing Presents #24 Last Issue of the series I believe and they had a 500 limited copy printing of the Turtles on the cover.

DPV Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Hello! First time poster on here. I hope this is the right place to post this. I inherited my Dad's collection and am reselling most of it with Comic Connect. My Dad was a dealer at comic book conventions and shows and was friends with Eastman and Laird in the 80's. He used to see them at the shows and they'd always chat at each other's tables. Dad had all signed first print comics from them, #1-10, many in multiples. I grew up with these stories (I was born in 84), but hadn't gone through his comics with him in 30 years. Growing up and loving TMNT, It was so cool to go through his collection and see everything he had. And I'm just realizing that the value of these comics is a bit crazy. The TMNT #1 CGC 8.5 is up to $14,400 now! I can't believe how much these are worth. Part of me is really sad to see them go. Every comic, action figure, movie were simply the best growing up... But this will help my Mom retire, so I am glad Dad is still taking care of her. I think I will keep a few because they mean a lot to me. I'm pretty new to all of this. One quick question if anyone can assist. What is the Variant Cover story with #3? It says "Laird's Photo" in white on cover. I can't see the difference between the regular and variant. And it's hard to figure out what it's really worth. Here's the auction. Any idea what this is worth as a CGC 9.4 variant cover #3? Thanks!

Well welcome to the Boards, good that it is providing relief and a bit of joy to your family As far as I know the "variant" just seems to have more white to the cover, be it splotches or the over all effect of the white it's hard for me to pick out of a crowd too DPV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should know better and googled first. The description and side by side pictures here in this article make it a lot more clear. If you look at the sign that says "Laird's Photo" one is mostly white (variant) and the other is mostly blue (regular). The story makes sense too. I still have no idea what the ballpark value is, but I guess I'll find out in a few days. Edited March 1, 2021 by DPV ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the value of a 9.4 3 lairds photo? Probably around $3500 or so. Shellback has a 9.2 listed at $3000 and it hasn’t gotten a bite. Good luck, it’s one of the books missing for my collection.
