Maybe they didn't sell and he didnt bring them out again until his last appearance??....just caught my eye and seemed strange. I pray this is the case and there is no tomfoolery. Or, PL accidentally signed "2014" instead of "2018" but that seems unlikely. Probably what you said makes the most sense but it makes it stand out as something that's not right about it.

I think it was 2013 and he signed 2008...not even close! The book he signed (IDW series with an Eastman/Laird cover) didn't even exist in 2008. So it's certainly possible. But I think what actually happened is what you said earlier. He signs his work as he completes it and will sometimes load up a binder full of head sketches to sell at signings. It's possible that someone got one at one of these signings. As long as the sketch is picked up directly from the artist in the presence of a CGC witness, Signature Series is possible. I'm pretty sure the date lines up with one of his appearances too, but I'd need to double-check to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it sounds like it's rarer to have a sketch with the actual correct year on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 On 12/11/2018 at 2:37 PM, rich_TMNT said: @Turtle Here's a list of the ones I know about from the past few years. The first couple are new ones in the past few months in addition to the Frankie's Comics cover. You may already have (or know about) all of these but just in case you don't... - TMNT #1 Special Kickstarter Edition - available with the Munchkin TMNT Board Game Kickstarter campaign - Radically Rearranged Ronin Ragdolls (Eastman cover) - TMNT homage / parody available through Kevin Eastman's "Drawing Blood" Kickstarter project. There was also a Ben Bishop cover for RRRR but it's not really an homage to TMNT #1 (at least, I don't see it as one). - Teenage Mutant Ninja Cerebi - TMNT parody from July 2018 - Do You Pooh? (3 homage covers) - these were issued a few years back so you may already know about these. - TMNT Vol. V #45 Ottawa Comiccon - from back in 2015 - Squarriors #1 Phantom Variant - 2015 - TMNT Vol. I #1 (IDW) Lego SDCC 2014 - from SDCC 2014 - TMNT Vol. V #33 Jetpack - 2014 I can check a few more off the list. Here's the Kickstarter version: And here's ONE of the Ragdoll versions: Emphasis on the "one" because there's another raw copy that just arrived in the mail with the Ragdolls in the famous pose drawn by Alan Quah. It'll get submitted in the next batch. rich_TMNT and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nriccijr Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) I'm glad you are happy with it.......the margins on them drive me crazy though, especially on #2. It would make a nice area to get signed, but otherwise it bothers my OCD. What condition have the books been? Potential 9.8s?
