CheezyWhiz Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Today I finished by TMNT 1-4 run Thank you Adam and Michael for your help with completing this. All issues are white pages and all are 9.8 except for #1, which is a 9.4 signed by Eastman and Laid with a sketch on the inside cover. This gave me enough points to tie for #5 in the registry sets. Yeap, turtles sets are getting that competitive around here! Nice Jad. Why stop at #4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dupont2005 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I saw a raw #1 in the wild today with a $3500 price tag on it. I am terrible at grading but if I had to venture a guess I would say 7.0-8.0, I could be a mile off though. Is that a good price? There was a stack of 2-4 there too with price tags in the $50 range and comparable condition. I didn't ask any questions about those though. I only asked about the #1 because there was a tear in the price tag right where a decimal would go and I thought it might have been priced at $35.00 but it wasn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Just wanted to share a few sketches that a friend of mine got for me at WWAnaheim a few weeks back. They're both artists of the TMNT...Bisley is more associated with Heavy Metal and Bode worked on the original run...issues 18 and 32 I believe.

Vroomer-migration Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 My commissioned piece by Jim Lawson is in the process of being framed. =D eastbayrudy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockMyAmadeus Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 What's up, Vroomer? Long time, no posty by me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Awesome Lawson piece. What was your request? Just Mikey, Raph, and a few Triceratons or is it from a particular story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vroomer-migration Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I requested Mike and Raph and the Tri's. Since Mike's with the Tri's now and there's about to be a war, I figured why not. (Raph was my favorite as a kid.) He got the poses on Mike and Raph right. Would have liked the Tri's to be providing more cover for them and not walking. Totally looking forward to issues 31 and 32... when they come out. =\ All in all, totally dig the piece. And will be requesting a 2nd. =D Yeah, Zeph. Some rook posted you were in chat this week. HAHA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Man Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Personally, this is entirely too much especially for a raw. I don't have GPA but I think going rate for a book in that shape would be about 1/2 that price.... slabbed. The big concern is the number of raw copies that have small amounts of color touch on them, and while I'm totally fine with restoration (amateur or pro), I'm not paying a premium unrestored price for a restored book. I'd suggest steering clear. The books are rare but you don't want to buy something you'll regret later. I'd also say this person probably is a little high in his prices for 2-4 as well. On the whole, unless he's willing to bargain on those prices, I'd avoid any deals with this seller. I saw a raw #1 in the wild today with a $3500 price tag on it. I am terrible at grading but if I had to venture a guess I would say 7.0-8.0, I could be a mile off though. Is that a good price? There was a stack of 2-4 there too with price tags in the $50 range and comparable condition. I didn't ask any questions about those though. I only asked about the #1 because there was a tear in the price tag right where a decimal would go and I thought it might have been priced at $35.00 but it wasn't I just realized of all the TMNT fans out there....

DJB Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) I bought this comic a few weeks back. It's the Vol.1 #4 Misprint. Not only that though but this copy is a MISPRINT of the MISPRINT! Haha. Seriously! check out my auction for pics, and wish me luck! check the proper board for that! also, anyone know where I can buy a decently priced #1 1st print? don't say eBay.
