DJB Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 if its Mark then Yes. This art is unmistakable as its original ONE and ONLY art. Mark is a good guy. Has sold me a lot of turtle items too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARiche503 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm not interested in the Kirby art but I think I can reach a deal with Mark on the shredder piece. I just got my tax return back and it's a nice hefty one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) I'm pulling out things from my collection to sell to help fund my new #1. As seen in my last post I listed my cgc 9.2 turtlemania. I also came across this single sheet Mirage Order Form for T-Shirt Iron Ons and Issue #1. Its a "legal size" document 8-1/2"x13". Folded squarely in half. Also attached by staple is a personal note on Mirage stationary by Peter Laird. Read the note attached. Pretty cool, as it seemed to of originally gone to someone involved in comic industry. Editor of fanize book "the legion outpost" (google it). Im still unsure of the editor's last name. I do not know how these order forms were distributed. Think this may have some value? Out of all my turtle pieces this and Turtlemania were the only things i could muster up to sell. Edited February 5, 2011 by DJB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I guess i'll just throw it up on ebay and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon_Turtle Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Out of all my turtle pieces this and Turtlemania were the only things i could muster up to sell. I feel ya. That is never an easy decision. I've never sold a TMNT item that I didn't regret selling later. So I've just stopped. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon_Turtle Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Not strictly COMIC related, but definitely TMNT related, so I thought you'd enjoy it: So as you may know, Turtles in Time is really really hard to find. Even harder if you want it in good shape. Klov.com rates the game a 12 out of 100 for rarity (100 being most common). Anyway, I've wanted a Turtles In Time 4-player upright for a long long time, but have never been able to find one in good enough shape that is close enough to me. Then today I see this on ebay: When suddenly I am reminded that I purchased a working Turtles In Time JAMMA board several years ago: So I swoop down on the Side Art, since complete sets INCLUDING the control panel overlay are few and far between. On a lark, I then do a quick search for a Turtle in Time marquee. And low and behold there is one for pretty cheap! Swoop! "But Archon, you still don't have a cabinet!" Well friends, the cool thing about all of the 4-Player Konami Titles (TMNT, TMNT:Turtles In Time, The Simpsons, Sunset Riders, G.I. Joe, X-men) is that they ALL use the exact same cabinet. So I get on the horn with a few distributors I know, and it turns out that there is a guy in Los Angeles proper with a Sunset Riders cabinet. It is currently sight unseen, but I am going to be checking it out in the next couple days. If it is indeed still in a 4-player konami, I'm nabbing that . Costs so far: NOS Side Art + Control Panel Overlay: $300 Marquee: $20 JAMMA Board: $0 (Already had it in the collection) 4-Player Konami Cabinet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 SUPER cool! My 2011 project is to fix up my arcade cabinet. I'm particularly fond of 4-player beat-em-ups like TMNT. I've got working JAMMAs of this and the first TMNT game along with X-men...I'd like to own a Simpsons once all is said and done. I'd like to build a multi-game system with a quick board switch. Very cool that you got all the original stuff. I, for one, will LOVE to look at the finished product. Be sure to post it. If I'm not mistaken, you've already got a TMNT pinball machine. They'll look great together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) A friend of mine just forwarded me a text with the following picture. Story is my friend's co worker was childhood friends with one of Kevin Eastman's ex wives kid..... got that one? Apparently Kevin painted one of the wall's in the kids room of the 90s cartoon Turtles in sailor uniforms. (not pictured) Sailor uniforms.... IDK why. Must of been what the kid liked? This said kid's best friend was a huge turtles fan also. Kevin supposedly painted this portrait of issue #14 for him on canvas. The painting looks amazing. But I don't know how legit the whole story is. Also, looking down at the bottom of Casey's foot is a small signature? Looks a little blurred but doesn't seem Kevin Eastman to me. BUT IDK!? Either way, what an awesome painting to have on canvas. Edited February 8, 2011 by DJB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icculus308win Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'd love to hear what the TMNT Experts on here know or can find out about the validity of this canvas. Very cool story (be really sweet if it was truly legit) thanks for posting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMNT Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 As far as the blurry blue sig there, that is actually the "Eastman ''88" sig he used on the original piece. And having seen the original painted cover for that issue, I can say that that "canvas" piece is 100% identical to the original painted piece. So I tend to think that if Kevin were recreating this cover on canvas that it would be at least a little different, if not intentionally that probably by accident. It wouldn't surprise me if someone used a cover proof to create this and that Kevin had 0 influence on its creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyDeLicious Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I was just playing Turtles in Time on XBLA last night (not as good as original, but fun). VERY jealous of your future cabinet, and if the Sunset Riders board works (and if the game is the one that I remember it being) even moreso, great alternate game!
