Collector moment.
Over 30 years of conventions Iβve gotten Kevin Eastman to sign most of my Mirage Turtles run.
But this is only my second autograph from Peter Laird β an original Turtle sketch.
Pretty happy about this one.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has always been one of my absolute favorites. The Turtles were what first got me curious enough to go hunt down a comic shop when I was younger.
Always great seeing another Turtle book come through the press.

THE ONLY 9.6 SUPERMAN FROM 1949β1958.
This Superman 115 came to us as a CGC 8.5 and came back a 9.6 Top Pop after being cracked out, dry cleaned, pressed, and resubmitted.
One of one. No copies higher.
