Archon_Turtle Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hey everyone. Today I obtained what is for me, my holy grail. Barbaric Fantasy #1 and Ten Penny Funnies #1-8. What do they have to do with TMNT? They are Peter Lairds absolutely first comic works, ranging from 1972-78. These books have remained unseen by the collecting community for over 30 years, as they were self published and done in impossibly small print runs. Ton of pics and information on them HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to do this to the seller, because he seems like a really nice guy, but from the pictures emailed (as opposed to those on ebay) this book looks pretty beaten up on the back bottom edge. Just make sure you know what your buying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather have a VG with a bunch of bends on the spine than an edge that looks like it was chewed by an animal, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Looking forward to it. In the mean time, I came across this ebay listing: TMNT #1 Please note that the seller has been connected to several known scammers on ebay and I'd be willing to wager that this particular issue is restored. Here are the related threads here on the boards: Lexerific/makemeanofferandwin/cdpaoli thread 1 Lexerific/makemeanofferandwin/cdpaoli thread 2 BUYER BEWARE! The final price ended up being $787.77. It's unfortunate because it's definitely lower than the advertised 9.0 condition and it's likely restored given the seller and his history. I wish there were a way to contact the buyer.

I wish there were a way to contact the buyer. he has another #1 up for sale now. This time under his cdpaoli alias. Damn how many #1s does this guy have? So far he has sold 2 different proclaimed 9.0 #1s under 2 different aliases. Same thing this time too. I sent an email asking if there has been any restoration, with a respone of "none that he can see". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
