Ryan. Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 He's brought this up before. We get it, he doesn't like SS. I'm not sure why he lets himself become so bothered by what happens to other collector's comics. No matter how much thin logic he types into these screeds, he's not going to convince SS collectors that they are wrong to buy what they like. I've never looked at a signature and thought to myself, "Boy, that sig is really DISTRACTING ME FROM THE ARTWORK.". That's silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toitle Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Adam, that NYCC #3 9.8 makes my heart stop for a second. I had to pinch myself. Being signed on the front makes it 100 times more impressive! I live through your collection! I know I would never be able to come anywhere close in my lifetime, with any amount of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_TMNT Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 That truly is an impressive grade on that book. Out of curiosity, do you know the grader's notes for it? What prevented it from being a 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of SS either in most cases, but I can definitely see why some people are into it. It's cool its just not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're not about to tell someone that they are wrong for collecting sigs. I went through a phase where I only collected blue labels. Then I went through a phase where everything had to be yellow. Now I like both. Maybe my next project will be purple It's all good in the neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 That truly is an impressive grade on that book. Out of curiosity, do you know the grader's notes for it? What prevented it from being a 10? It's tough to tell. It's got very sharp edges and the corners look nice, but I think a 10 needs all edges to be razor-sharp...a tough feat for books that admittedly used pretty junky stock in the beginning.

Turtle Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 By the way, I'm finally checking out your site (that I found out about from your shirt on FCBD). Very cool! I'd encourage any TMNT fans to do the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archon_Turtle Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) That's such a great book to get in 9.8 with white pages. I'm just saddened that it's an SS because as you may already know, it won't truly be a 9.8 in another 10 years after that sig ink has stained the pages below. I've been hunting down a universal grade for a while for this book with that rating. Congrats though all the same. It's what matters to you that's important. That looks great! Forgive me, but I don't know the artist. Who is it? Nobody really knows as far as I'm aware. It was just some in-house production artist at Konami.

Bronty Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I know who it was. And I apologize but I am going to keep that to myself for the time being. The name wouldn't mean anything to you guys anyways as he didn't do comic book work. Fabulous talent talent though, did a lot of the classic contra and castlevania stuff and too many others to mention. He did three other turtles related pieces, radical rescue, and two ads. I'll post the images at some point here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 One of my favorite images of the turtles ever (its an ad for turtles in time): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 this one is disappointing to me (konami golf ad including turtles, blades of steel, bayou billy & defender of the crown) as he was told to tone down the bad*spoon* factor on the turtle in this one. So you don't see his style on the turtles in this one Excuse the poor image. I can't find the ad on the net so I had to take a photo of a slide.
