The orange Jetpack Error never really caught on, though I think it's one of the cooler TMNT 1 reprints. 

I am just learning about the Jetpack Error edition now - interesting story

There’s only 1 #16 9.8 that exists. I sold it to icculus304win for a disgusting amount of money lol 

There's 2 total. I know 1 is @Icculus308win and the other is another member here and fellow Canadian. 🇨🇦😎🙌

I'm just putting out positive vibes to hopefully get 1 if someone gets it graded in the future. 😃🙏

(Possibly a disgustingly low amount of money in the current market 😛)

Is there anything you don't have?! Your collection is, how you say? Unbeatable!

Hello again

I'm wondering if anyone knows about this TPB? It is has a Raph postcard inside signed by Peter Laird. I cannot find any information anywhere. Are these scare? Sought after? Does anyone know?

Oh thank-you :foryou:    
Definitely fortunate for what I have acquired through the years. I don’t have any raw or slabbed non counterfeit Gooks, Silver or Gold Turtlemanias. Those that do - 🙇‍♂️

That book is called “TMNT Sneak Peek,” details the 2007 TMNT animated movie. Pretty cool book, hard to find in 9.8 condition, the little I’ve dabbled trying to find one. 
(Always thought cool cover)

I feel like they had a large amount of these......they still have them available after all these years...possibly a full run of them?

Yes it is an "error" because it is not what they intended, I don't think it is truly very scarce and it worked out to them. To me an "error" is something was released in limited quantities to the public (in the wild), they realized they messed up, and corrected the rest of the run.

It's been posted before, but the cookies, cereal, and these oh so tasty custard green turtle terds were delicious! Ahhh, the good ol' times. It also reminds me of when Little Debbie's Brownies and boxes of treats were 99 cents.

YEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!! These, a .99 monster can of Arizona Ice Tea, and 2-3 comics were my middle school years!

Finally! Got my grades in. First time slabbing magazines, and probably viewed them with a harsher eye....

I'll post pics when they arrive.

Well I've been out of the volume 1 collecting game for a bit and only now I've stupidly decided to start chasing 9.8s xD

Going to be tough and definitely behind the 8 ball. Time to sell off the rum collection and trade it for comics!

@Icculus308winyour collection is a thing of beauty! I found it yesterday and after a few minutes I had forgotten my mouth was still wipe open! Probably a crazy thought, but would you ever consider cracking any blue labels to get SS'd?

How much rum will it take to buy a #1 first print?!

Totally appreciate it @Gump24601🤘   
It has been a trip that’s for sure. 
Btw coming from a gent who has a 9.8 SS TMNT #1! 🙇‍♂️ and I believe the first 9.8 SS TMNT #1 🙇‍♂️

I totally get your question not crazy at all. I have actually thought about through the years upon owning my 9.6 #1. There would still only be one book, my first print #1. Since I have been blessed through the years with many cool/unique SS books from Boardies, eBay, auctions. Furthermore, I’m so fricken grateful how many Laird’s I have! Obviously the ratio of Kevin and Peter sigs or especially just Peter sigs vs Kevin’s….are far less. 


If I had a magic wand, it would be to have, Eastman AND Laird both sign it (no sketches) in white and they would be on the back cover. My first choice is both signing on the bottom. (Hope you don’t mind, I used your book🤤 to show what I was thinking) But if they needed more room, than top.   
I don’t think I could risk it, I haven’t pulled the trigger since 2014 and don’t know if ever could. If somebody has a magic wand (that works 100% of the time 60% of the time lmk!!) 😂

Lol, certainly don't have enough for one of those nowadays ... I'd probably need an actual (and full) vat to sell now to get one! 😂

Appreciate it @Icculus308win 🥰 - I wasn't the first 9.8 SS and I hope I'm not the last!

I'm actually of the same opinion regarding signatures: I'd probably be seen as mental but I would really like Peter's sig on the #1. Again, I'm far too late to the game but still hold out hope he does a local con or maybe like a 40th anniversary celebration at Jetpack - I'd be there with bells on!

So many ways to skin a cat. A white marker would really be in keeping with the colours of the 1st-3rd print of #1. With mine having gold marker on the front used I'll have to keep with that theme, but if I had my time again white would have been a great choice!

I do have Peter's sig on other books but on the #1 would be the ultimate for me!
