Here's a cool one that I just came back from the Last Ronin signing (FINALLY after CGC's policy wouldn't allow for the boxes to be picked up at the FedEx facility...dumb policy ).  Definitely have to tag @rich_TMNT since this is one of his variants.  It's Last Ronin 4 and Rich commissioned the great Jim Lawson for a cover featuring the best turtle and a little cameo by the Fugitoid.  It's signed by the entire creative team and comes with the Last Ronin label. 

It arrived with a crack in it, so it'll need to get reslabbed.  If I'm lucky, I'll get it back before the Granite State show next month and I can have Rich and Jim sign the case.

This is awesome!  Definitely get it sent back to CGC ASAP for re-holder so you can have it back for Granite Con.  I sent all of mine back that came from the signing due to quality issues with the cases.  It only took about 2.5 weeks to get them back.

Got this in the mail today - I hadn't seen it before, and when I found it on eBay I looked into it and it seemed like a decent price. It's really cool!

This is the first printing of the Tales collected book and I think has an exclusive story not since reprinted? It’s a hard book to find in such nice condition especially at a good price! Congrats!

Thanks! Yeah, I was happy to find it - I actually just recently finished getting all 7 issues of the first run of Tales as well, so it was nice to add this to the collection.

I wasn't sure which Last Ronin issue I was going to buy, all I knew is that I wanted at least one graded copy of it - so big thanks to CGC for sending me this free (registry win prize) and putting an end to my cover choice dilemma

What's wrong with this pic?

 looks identical to my first and second prints.

Edited to add: Wait... is it the placement of the 9.2?

maybe it was submitted as a 2nd print and they forgot to label it as such ? my only guess

Possible, but there's no way to tell that from the picture.  1st and 2nd print #2 are visually identical (you have to look on the inside cover to tell print number).

Nope, but it is label related.

No, it's a 1st print.

not totally true, the 1st or 2nd print of issue #2 also have a white corner at bottom of spine so on the left.

I just can never remember which has the corner as white, the 1st or 2nd print,  but one of them does

You're right.  First print.

Here's my 9.4 first

Yea, I double checked my 9.0 and 7.5 (both double signed by Kevin and Pete) second prints.  Neither have white

None of my copies list Brad's name.  Just "Laird & Foster".
