[REPOST] Gobbledygook Set 1st Print + Issue #1 Original Cover Art - Turtles

[com1cbook]

[i had posted this in the MODERN forum and someone told me to repost it here. NOOB]

 

In 1985 I was corresponding with Kevin Eastman and peter Laird and I purchased the original cover artwork from their first published work, Gobbledygook #1. I have the art, a one color/halftone overlay that Eastman made just for me, I have correspondence, and a copy of both issues of the Gobbledygook series of which only 50 copies were printed.

 

Can anyone take a look at my pictures and give me any idea whether or not this lot is worth anything?

Thanks!

I'm sure you're getting quite a few PM's about the items. While you're sorting those out, any chance you could tell us a little of the back story behind this? As a Turtle collector, this seems like a rare opportunity to learn of of the early history behind the TMNT.

PM's about what?

As they say on Antiques Roadshow...

 

"The individual pieces are valuable, however, as a group with the correspondence and provenance, the total value is most likely greater than the sum of its parts."

Many thank to all of you on this board for your expert opinions. The lot is now in the hands of Steve Borock at Heritage Auctions. It will be featured in their February auction.

 

Thanks again.

Oh mess. I better start saving.

..........and saving.

 

 

HOLY TURTLE mess I have been slacking on my CGC surfing!!!

I just read what I have missed in Modern! Darn you Paw3 for posting this there, cause I missed all of this.

 

Like many said, if it is in Steve's hands it is in a good place and I know all will get sorted out by February. I do TOTALLY hear where Archon Turtle was/is coming from due to his friendship and name in the TMNT community. The same goes for TMNT, Danny my main man, who also has an obligation along the same lines.

 

I am obviously a TMNT fan and I must admit I'm anxious to see what it brings.

Paul in all seriousness, I wish you well with the future sale!! I do feel you made the right move selling something like this at Heritage - this will bring forth some cheddar.
