Some sweet Turtles items. That Mondo figure is very cool.

Clearly, you're all about the Turtles, @kaptainmyke, as a collector & dealer. I'd love to know your history with the TMNT. What made you such a fan?

Only in the last few years have I come to appreciate the Turtles. More specifically, Eastman & Laird's Story. How they put everything they had financially into this obscure idea & turned a small Indie book into a phenomenon.

But what was it about the Turtles that caught your attention?

I grew up with the original cartoon and I had all the original toys. Was so mad when my parents threw my toys away when I was away at college. Had Turtles, GIJoes, Thundercats, Silverhawks, so so sad. 😢

I can't believe this guy rambled on about a lone figure for 30 minutes. That's crazy!

LOL, this was actually a short ramble by his standards.

So going back to the original post and my apologies if this has been answered before but where did you get the cases for the figures? I have been wanting some for some of my other collections (I have some TMNT toys, Strawberry Shortcake dolls, Care Bares, and a ton of 80s toys) and never was able to find something good to keep them in

Yep just measure your stuff with a tape measure to the nearest 1/8 and they can make custom boxed cases or slide rail cases.

I'm confused, how can a 9.6 blue label be signed a sketched?

CGC basically gave this a qualified grade but with blue label. Shenanigans!

They make an exception for 1st Print of TMNT #1. I think they were all signed. @kaptainmyke Buy now and verify the sketch/signature later via CBCS in the year 2099.

Oh cool. That being the case, they know 100% they are legit and even when and where they were signed, they should have given them yellow labels. CGC are dummies.

@kaptainmyke I get that they were not witnessed, but this is a special case of provenance that deserves recognition. By using a blue label they only serve to confuse the secondary market. Since they don't have a VSP program, should have been yellow. imo

Seriously though, do you have a room dedicated to the Turtles?
