What Should I Have Signed by Eastman?

[MikeandRaph87]

I plan on going to Durham, NC on FCBD, May 6th to see Kevin Eastman a second time. Last time I got my copy of IDW's first issue with Michelangelo. The only trade I have is the four Turtles one shots. What could I get to have signed? Looking for opinions while I have two weeks to figure it out.

When I met him last year I had a JetPack RE #1 and a copy of TMNT #50 signed, but at the time I didn't own any Mirage books. If I did I would have had him sign #17 or #11 maybe.

I would get a NECA movie Raphael signed first. As far as comics go I would have him sign one of the early Mirage books (1-11).

I always go with #1's, his solo issues, & otherwise important specials.

He created Venus, I'm just going to throw that out there.

Anything he did with the Mirage logo...

The FCBD Turtles book?

I just picked up the Eastman variant of IDW's TMNT#50 off of Ebay for just $4. What do you all think of having that signed?

Do you only have IDW items? I could always sell you a Laird signed Mirage book and then you can have Eastman sign it too... lol.

I own the seven issues of Tales of TMNT and a print of the first 21 volume one issues of TMNT. As far as IDW is concerned, I absolutely love it and find Mirage hard to get into especially after The Shredder's final defeat.

Out of curiosity what do you have of Laird signed?

last time i saw Kevin Eastman i brought a bag of Tmnt Comics and Graphic Novels and paid the donation to have him sign them.

if you have the Deluxe HC 'Change is Constant', that'd be a good one!
also the HC collecting all of his IDW covers is a good choice.

I have some v1 books, and then 2 or 3 sketch covers with Lavigne and oen or two others sig/sketches on it...

Follow the link to my FB page or I can PM a partial list.

I'm gonna be there, too. I figured I'd just pick my favorite IDW cover of his. The only Mirage stuff I have is ultimate collection volumes.

The Ultimate Collections make great items to get signed... plenty of space for lots of signatures!

[chrisdude]

It may be the most appropriate choice. I'm gonna go through my IDW covers, though. I generally opt for the Eastman covers when I pick up my comics on time.

[MikeandRaph87]

What do you guys think? I got Eastman variant of IDW's TMNT #50 for $4. It arrived today in the mail. This is what I will get Kevin Eastman to sign this time. Thanks to all of you for the suggestions.

You get a choice? I take where is in my box. Sometimes its standard. Some times its the Eastman variant. I don't have a consistent A or B cover set. I couldn't tell you which ones are the Eastman variants in my complete set through #68. I do have two copies of #1 and now #50 which were repurchased for the expressed reason of having Kevin sign his own variant of a notable issue.

I hope to see you there. I plan on going as close to opening as I can. I will be in this shirt if it helps point me out. I hope its better than the Heroes Con was in 2014. It took 4 hours and 5 minutes to meet him that one day appearance he made.

Nice shirt! Yeah, sorry we couldn't make a deal. I'm still looking...

Some shops, like my old one and my current one, I just told then I want all the covers they can get... took a little while for the old shop and the new shop is smaller and sometimes misses the RI covers even when he orders enough books, but I really can't afford to drain my savings just for multiple copies of the same book over and over for different covers.

Chrisdude, I did some digging and found the link below state a person has to purchase a pre-sale ticket. Do you read it like we have to go there before next Saturday to buy said ticket? $25 is okay, but I want to know if I can buy it when I get there. I will call after it opens tomorrow morning and let you know what I find out. It says obe can pay over the phone, but it doesn't say which method of payment.

You do have to purchase the ticket from the store. I was able to do credit card over the phone, and then swing by to pick up my ticket later. But that was Wednesday. They did tell me there were a total of 200 tickets. Hopefully you won't have an issue.

I take what's in my bag unless I get there early enough that new issues are still out. There's no regularity in which day of the week I make it to the comic shop.
