Prized Comic Possession

Ya know, I'm not sure what my "prized" comic is.

I have a complete collection of... just about every Turtles comic in one form or another, but none of them are really rare or valuable. I tended to go for 2nd and 5th printings over first runs because I valued the bonus content over the scarcity or collector's value.

I suppose the rarist thing in my collection is my pretty much mint copy of the 1989 Tales of the TMNT trade paperback that I recently bought from Adam Winters (for a ridiculously awesome price). Those things are pretty hard to come by, as I understand it, and I got very lucky.

I don't think anything else in my collection is particularly "valuable". I have a few signed copies, but those were signed when I bought them so they don't really have any nostalgic or sentimental value. I didn't even notice Eastman had signed my copy of Gobbledygook (Vol. 2) #1 for, I dunno, two or three years.
