If you can afford it, here is your chance:

 

ComicLink.com TMNT 1 1st print 9.8 auction

 

 

off-white pages? eh, pass!

 

 

You jest but that's kinda how I feel. I wouldn't shell out that much money for anything less than white pages.

 

But aren't you also the one that thinks signature series is a sin?

Great stuff! Congrats!

Are the 1:50 sketch cover variants able to be graded CGC SS?

 

...Sorta?

 

If you acquired them AFTER they made it to Diamond, then no. Most of them were pre-sketched by Kevin and sent to Diamond, then sent on to retailers. Any of those would receive a Green label. These particular copies were a gift -- witnessed sketched by Kevin at Long Beach Comic Con, so they were eligible for SS. There are currently 10 copies out there that are SSed (or being SSed). My 4, and another 6 that were done in front of Joel Elad at the 35 Days of Kevin Eastman art show in Los Angeles last month.

Thanks for the explaination! I guess I don't need to look into getting my 2 CGC SS'd.

those are nice...

 

What would happen if you took one of those Eastman variants and had it SS'd by someone else on the back cover?

 

You'd get an SS label with the sketch on the front being counted as a defect. Since the sketch takes up most of the front cover, I'd guess 5.0 or less. I've seen unwitnessed sigs on otherwise 9.8 books get 7.5, as a reference.

Yeah... you knew we were going to love those books, didn't you? :baiting:lol

 

Seriously, very cool additions! You wouldn't happen to have a close up of the DPS on the bottom, would you? Looks wicked. And I love how Eastman uses the blue in his originals here. Really makes the OA stand apart from some of the standard black and white.
