toitle Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Here's a blast from the past, original comic book store sticker, on one of the first prints, a "well loved" copy. Can you see the original price behind it? Makes me wish I could go back in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybuck43 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hey Toitle, wanna sell one of those so I can join the TMNT 1 club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toitle Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hey jaybuck43, Nice to see you're only about a mile away from me. I'm in downtown JC. I basically grew up in Hoboken, and went to school there from 5th to 12th grade. I spent plenty of my youth there, and that's where I used to bring my comic books to trade with my friends. About the selling question... I'll PM you soon, there might be a chance we can work something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I don't usually buy prints, but I thought these were awesome. The artist is Jason Flowers. They arrived today and look awesome. Both are 11x17. Here is his site: The Art of Jason Flowers He's got more TMNT stuff at the site, but these are the 2 I picked up. I'm thinking of grabbing a couple of these prints. I love the TMNT 1 cover recreations. How is his shipping? Is the paper stock good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prints were shipped inbetween sturdy cardboard, with a ninja turtle head sketch saying "please don't bend" on the outside. Paper quality is good too. If you like em, go for it!

Ryan. Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I picked up the redtoned version of the issue 1 cover. I may grab a couple more after I receive this one. Now I just need to find a reasonably priced copy of the Nickelodeon poster from last year's SDCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toitle Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Pretty sure this was before comic book bags were invented? I know I've seen a few of TMNT #1 (different printings) with the sticker on the back, DIRECTLY on the comic. Does anyone remember the stores that did that? I wonder if there are evil ninja turtles waiting in hell for them... Here's a blast from the past, original comic book store sticker, on one of the first prints, a "well loved" copy.

Bronty Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Comic book bags had been around for over 20 years. The fact it was magazine sized is more likely the reason (different size bag needed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toitle Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Wanna spread some of that Jersey love around? You know us NJites get no love! Got to keep it in-state Comic book bags had been around for over 20 years. The fact it was magazine sized is more likely the reason (different size bag needed) TMNT were almost 30 years ago!

pubmonkey Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Been waiting about 5 years for my books to get signed. Special thanks to Adam E, Rich H and Glenn G. I used to have 13 of these...but when times were rough I had to give them up First print, all signed Eastman and Laird! I just about pee'd myself when I saw this...thanks for that...

toitle Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Thanks dudes, I look up to all of you. I check this forum thread every day because it always brings a smile to my face. Coincidentally, I also peed on myself a little (maybe a squirt?) when I saw my books back again with yellow labels. It's been a dream of mine for years. Now I need to decide... turtles, or house...what would a person do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
