Early Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Gobbledygook Art (1983 - 1985)!!!!
Hi all, rather than start a new art thread just resurrected my old one. So my last Turtles sale went very nicely so I thought I'd come back for round 2! Early Turtles art does not come around very often.
First up: 1983 Gobbledygook Issue #2, Page 1 = $2000 Artist: Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird The opening SPLASH of the book  1988 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #14, Page 31 = $900 Artist: Kevin Eastman & Eric Talbot Full splashes that have ever been available from the first 14 books I could probably count on one hand. This one features a great shot of Casey Jones leaping onto the "Brass Cow!"  Furrlough #52 Cover= $350 Artist: Chris Alan Just a great image of Ninjara on a beautiful Mirage Studios board.  Fast Forward #2, Page 1 = $50 Artist: Andres Ponce  Archie Comics Issue 51, Page 5 = $50 Artist: Chris Allan - Pencils Artist: Jon Agostino - Inks From the issue entitled "Chameleons Are Forever" and features the character Chameleon!  TMNT Movie Prequel #4 (April issue), Page 20 = $50 Artist: Andres Ponce  1989 Ninja Turtles "49th Street Stompers" Battle Page = $300 Artist: Michael Dooney Here's a great early toning page by Michael Dooney that was published in the "Shell Shock" trade paperback. This page was used in the production of the page; these are NOT Eastman pen/inks. Rather, similar to how the blueline system works, this page is the photocopy of the original art that was then hand toned by Dooney. I've never seen such a production piece and features a great fight scene. This page is action packed with each panel featuring heavy action. Toned on thin Duo-tone paper (not board), the condition of the page is what I'd call fair. It appears to have been bent possibly at some point and also has some fading, most notable along the top of the top three panels. Overall, though it presents very nicely and has a page size of 11" X 14" inches. Michael Dooney signed it along the bottom in 1990.

Sorry, I'm a little confused. Is all the art you have on Comic Art Fan for sale, or just the ones listed on there for sale. I would really like a Laird/Eastman piece.

No, but I have an inkling I know what's on the block he needs the money for...

In my initial post I say I'm looking for offers and to not ask for a price from me. So what do most of PMs include...an asking of me for a price.
 I've noticed also that quite a few potentials are completely unaware of the current market. This is not a fire sale. And though such an offer has been made, I will not be selling a painted cover for $200. I will offer this bit of guidance, however, since it's been asked so much. A good starting point for nearly every piece in my gallery would be $1000. The chief pieces less than that would be the Eastman bluelines but there are others as well. Covers, of course, would be quite a bit more. Seems like a lot, I know, but if 2013 Eastman IDW pieces can fetch several thousand dollars on the regular, I'd like to think these 30 year old pieces are worth at least as much. Hope this helps.  EDIT: Also, added a few direct links to my first post to see what I got a bit easier.

Alright, so it appears like what I was fundraising for is not likely to happen (it honestly never really was but I tried...) So that means I no longer need to sell.
That said, this little exercise has proven useful as it sort of forced me to really think about what pieces I would consider selling and which I wouldn't. And if I'm considering it, then why don't I just do it since it obviously doesn't fit my collection focus at this time. So this is where I'm at, and these are the pieces that are officially on the block. - All 4 Gobbledygook pages - Issue #3 - Issue #4 - Issue #5 - Issue #6 The interior pages can be seen HERE GOBBLEDYGOOK HERE Offers will still be taken at this time before I start selling these more publicly. Thanks for everyone's patience. There's some pretty unique opportunities here.

I had seen the Foot Soldier on eBay and wondered if that was you, but wasn't sure because I hadn't seen it on your CAF...

The Foot is MINE! ahahAHaHAHAhHAhaHA
an extra $125 isn't too bad in the grand scheme of things from being sold from Eastman's page. Sounds about right to me. (No I won't sell it to you) I just wish the other art was still for sale

So it appears I may be selling some more pieces (I've sold the issue #5, it's blue line, and an issue #37 page this week). I just put up a few new pieces up on CAF that I'm willing to move.
I think I've narrowed it down to what I'm willing to part with at this time to: - My 1983 4 Gobbledygook pages - My 1985 #3 splash page - My 1988 #14 splash page Other possibles include: - My 1986 #6 Battle Page - My SDCC Con Piece Haven't set prices on any of these yet, though, so if any of those interest you please feel free to make an offer. Otherwise at some point I'll put them up for sale on CAF. And those of you who have made offers on these already, I haven't forgotten about you or your offers. Just still working things out. Sorry for dragging this out. I just love these pieces so if I sell them I really want to make sure I'm happy with the deal. Thanks for your patience!
