No offense, but how did you, a supposed 11 year old, wind up with such a rare piece? Post pics to prove it, please.

~~Mew~~ · 01-11-2015, 09:42 AM

My friend's dad.
He gave it to my because his son didn't want it.
I don't even know how rare it is.
How rare is it?
I don't know how to post pics off the Wii U Internet browser.

Wow that's awesome, now I'm searching the Internet for it

*The Fifth Turtle* · 01-17-2015, 07:50 AM

Soooo anyone actually HAVE the item?

*The Fifth Turtle* · 01-22-2015, 03:51 PM

Still looking!

I guess "Mr. Wii U "doesn't have it ha! I have never understood why people lie about stuff like this. It's not like we find you any "cooler" if you have something and IF you do have it you should have already figured out how to post a photo of it. If someone was to question my profession it would be easily fixed, 2 seconds and I could take a photo with my patrol car, bagge, uniform etc..

I too have been looking for that for a loooong time never have found it.

I've never seen it for sale before so god luck!

*The Fifth Turtle* · 02-21-2015, 09:19 AM

Bump....,,,,,,,

*The Fifth Turtle* · 03-20-2015, 10:55 PM

Still looking for this print.

Probably a stupid question, but did you try seeing if Rose was interested in selling her copy?

I didn't. I thought about it, but didn't. I kinda get the vibe that she doesn't sell many things in her collection.

*Powder* · 03-31-2015, 07:51 PM

Word, but it never hurts to try.

You seem the kinda guy to make fair offers.

Yeah, this piece isn't on the market. Anything I sell usually falls into the "toy" category.

Anyways, my knowledge of this piece is that it really isn't a print in the conventional sense of the word (it is obviously "printed.") It is some sort of copy of an ad that was used in the comics and maybe CBG. I got it off of eBay and I think the guy selling it claimed that it had been given to him directly from Kevin and/or Peter back in the 80s. I think I got a similar "print" of a TMNT/Marvel crossover piece from the same guy. And he also had another "print" of another ad, but I didn't win that one (still annoyed about that). But I do have an actual printed copy of that one, which might have ended up on the TMNT Visual History book... (there's a bottom corner torn off)

So, long story short... I doubt there is another copy of this around to be had.
