Icculus308win Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 👍 So they are the same (can’t tell if colored diff) - just 84 vs 85. Well I learned something about these and obviously if 84s of Don and Mikey cross my path, I’ll make sure to pick up for you or let you know. (Totally get just trying to complete/completist and just hung on one or two remaining pieces.....time machine indeed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for keeping an eye out! The button set is really cool as well, I see it every so often on eBay. Good pickup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDarkseid1 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Could someone explain to me what this guy is selling? Is it essentially a modern reprint of the infamous gold edition version, and worth like $5-$10 lol. Or is it legitimately worth around what he's asking? https://www.ebay.com/itm/174191436059?ul_noapp=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it legitimately worth around what he's asking? https://www.ebay.com/itm/174191436059?ul_noapp=true @LDarkseid1 What he's selling is TMNT #100 The Fellowship Turtlemania Gold variant. It's not a reprint of the original Turtlemania but is a variant cover for issue #100 of the TMNT Ongoing from IDW. The reason for the high pricing is that there were only supposed to be 10 copies of this variant made available for sale (just like Turtlemania Gold). Those 10 copies were all to be numbered & signed with sketch on back cover by Kevin Eastman and then graded CGC SS This issue caused HUGE backlash from some in the Turtles collecting community because the creator of this variant (Sad Lemon Comics) actually printed 250 copies of this variant and destroyed 238 copies to get down to the 10 for sale / 2 for 'proof' or 'file' copies. He documented this via videos on my FB TMNT page. Many TMNT completionists were very upset that this one issue would make their collection incomplete (or more incomplete). So, people were really ugly and mean to Sad Lemon unfortunately. What then happened after the release of TMNT #100 was that these Gold books started appearing for sale ungraded / raw from two different sources. Apparently, the artist Mike Vasquez received comp copies of this from IDW and IDW themselves had a stock of extra copies (they overprint every variant for their own use). Many of these copies started leaking out and so there are many more copies than 10 out there. However, the officially sanctioned 10 copies are signed, numbered, and graded with sketch on the back by Kevin. So, that's the rundown of what this book is. Hope that helps. Here's my copy of this variant (#2 of 10) - I asked to have Kevin reproduce the actual sketch he did on the back of the original Turtlemania Gold #2 of 10: SpideyFein, DTM700, ADAMANTIUM and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sonic77 Posted August 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Here's my newest TMNT pickups for this month. TMNT #1 is a 3rd print and yes that's a TMNT #3 NYCC Variant signed by Eastman and Laird. That #3 is a major grail for me. r Edited August 15, 2020 by Sonic77 GM8, rich_TMNT, Turtle and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icculus308win Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I totally agree. (Me thinks a lot of us agree) Such a great character and story. If your a Casey fan and don’t have one, I’d highly recommend picking one up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
