Always been very into mafia media, so seeing the turtles wrapped up in it with those wild outfits always tickled me. Years ago I encountered one of Raph in someone's collection on CAF (who never replied to my asking if they'd sell), & another of Michelangelo popped up a year or two back for around $400 on ebay, but that was a price beyond comprehension. Fortunately, Steve Lavigne threw one on Facebook during his little Black Friday sale, & with a bit of assistance from Oldmanwinters I was able to nab it! Showed up the day after my birthday, one hell of a present.  I know it's not much to most people, but for me it's super special. Very glad to have it.

I know this may be pretty late (4 months) but nice get man. I had similar story with the turtles in their trench coat attire. Always wanted a cel and after a few years managed to get one for a reasonable price.
I was super bummed when I missed Kevin selling basically all the original art for the issue in which they all wore trench coats. Would kill for a nice page from that book.
