JoeRock Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 23 hours ago, Turtle said: I've got a little free time today, so i thought I'd share another TMNT side-collection I've been enjoying lately: enamel pins. I know these things are everywhere, but that's part of the appeal. They are usually pretty inexpensive and you'll never know what you'll find. Quite a few of these are from Kevin Eastman's website or Zen Monkey Studios, but others I've picked up at a variety of shows. I found the 80's Donatello and Shredder at Baltimore Comic Con one year, I picked up the Jennika pin from Ben Bishop at NYCC, and the Shell with the Ooze in the belt was from Ian Glaubinger at a small show in Jersey last year. I like that it can be a bit like a low-cost treasure hunt that can be easily-displayed. It's the little things in life. Man that looks great, loving that Leo on the bottom right. Get you a sweet Denim jacket and pin up haha. I have this Mirage pin, found in a shop awhile back Turtle, ThothAmon, sorrenmj and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 That's so cool! Looks like old-school Jim Lawson art. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tagerjager Posted November 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2020 That Jim Lawson pin is a great find. Speaking of Jim, I just got this in today. It turned out really nice.

Really it's just not TMNT a lot of books are way up this year, I also think people have realized that 1st prints are in demand and the supple is low.

I think that’s market price right now. These books are scarce in high grade which is fanning the 🔥 Parabellum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMNT Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 It's not just the comics anymore...with a pile of 5K- 6K art sales, plus a 9K, and 3 recent art sales of 13K, 15K and tonight on HA 18K looks early art is starting to hitting highs as well. pubmonkey and Icculus308win 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am not Glenda Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I think the line is 8.5 and up and also 9.8 2nd print all have room to grow. pubmonkey and Icculus308win 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TMNT #5 page selling for $9,000 knocked me on my socks. It had sold on comic link about 18 months earlier for around $3,000 so to triple in just 18 months was shocking, and then on top of it, it’s kind of a weak page in my opinion, since the majority of the page is a space city.

I think the art of the Turtle in the first panel is iconic, being featured in some early ads and whatnot. It was one of my first exposures to Eastman and Laird's art, being prominently featured in ads in Archie's TMNT Adventures comics. I was offered that page for $1k a number of years ago...ah, hindsight! Also, that splash page that went for $18k was a grail of mine for a long time. Even when Eastman had it listed at $15k on his site, it was too much for me though Edited December 11, 2020 by spracknetch23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when Eastman had it listed at $15k on his site, it was too much for me though Yes, definitely one of the most used images for sure but still a very unexpected result. And I remember also having a chance but at $1500 years ago. That 18K splash was also a major want for me just like you guys. Tried to get it for years but never could. And when Eastman listed at 15K I thought it was too strong a price, considering most art was trickling out at 4K a pop. Turns out they were right! A main reason I wanted it was too bookend my issue #3 splash. That moment in #3, when they discover Splinter is missing, essentially began that major arc including their real origin story that would run through issues #3, 4, Fugiotid, #5, 6, and culminate basically with that reunion splash in #7 when Splinter is back. Still getting my head around that price...! Edited December 12, 2020 by TMNT Icculus308win, SpideyFein and sorrenmj 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
