That page from #3 is such a classic. What can I sell to afford???? Probably only my TMNT #1 :/

Trying to evaluate if I'd be happy with one of these for the price is tough! They all seem like various shades of not so great deals. Perhaps that means he's priced them well as otherwise he'd be sold out in 5 minutes I suppose.
But still I just find myself thinking ok if I pay 3-5k for one of these then a very top panel page would be X and and splash would be XX and a cover would be the GDP of Namibia. #8 page 8 seems way out there though. 5k for a page with barely any turtles.

"Kevin Eastman meet Neal Adams, Neal meet Kevin. Kevin, listen to Neal, he knows how to price things to sell"
Can anybody say whether the Heavy Metal site was selling pagea frin all 3 RTNY books or only certain books? I'm quite curious now. Those prics are in a new stratosphere. I agree with PPPH about the newer trends. And the more pages sold at these prices pushes the FMV up. Its just the nature of the beast. With a few exceptions, its generally cheapest to go straight to the artist for OA.

Well, I know how much they were asking for the original Raphael one-shot cover, so... these pages are a little bit cheaper

lol, not in this case. He seems to be the one championing this current over-price trend. I wish him all the best, but these are way more than I'm willing to pay. |

I think the prices for #8 pages reflect the first appearance of RENET. I know she is one of KE's favorite characters, she basically allowed him to draw the girls style he had developed working with/for Clay Geerdes prior to TMNT.
I totally agree with PPP about the business strategies of KE, hence my Neal Adams comment... Next we're gonna see Heddon/McSweeny pages go for 3K for all dialog, no panels, no turtles, just writing. At least all this makes the pages I sell for Mark look like the deal othe century(apologies for the shameless advertisement)

BTW, If anyone has an interest in some KE work from 1982 that went unpublished, PM me. I can put you into contact with the seller who subsequently runs Jabberwocky Graphix. The story would've been published there, but never made it to print. It's more in the vein of the Geerdes published stuff(sweet cheeks, bad girl art). It's like 6 pages of Ball Point pen OA. Think the story name was gonna be "Libido"

David Petersen has Turtles in Time 1&2 covers up for sale on his site. Man it seems like you need to hit the lottery to be a Turtle Collector nowadays. Wish I was an artist.

I definitely understand this, I guess in my own selfish way I'm just wishing that pieces were cheaper cause I'm broke haha. It just makes every piece I'm lucky enough to own special.

It also did what I've seen a few other original art auctions proceed recently... get a bunch of early bids, and then just sit there, and no one sniping at the end.

I won the most recent RTNY auction. It was alot, but i have page 27, getting page 28 was kind of a no brainer. I put all my bids in on day 1, suprised to see only 1 other bidder. Given the prices of other pages recently, i concluded im may not get the oppurtunity to get a page from 19 or 21 at close to FMV. Sequential pages from 20 is good enough for me. I also picked up a decent Dooney page from #27 for $100 from Eastman. I felt the page was under priced and offset the ebay auction a bit too.
