- These books are going for good money right now, especially the Eastman variants. I collect all TMNT things, specifically the old 1984 mirage run and the current IDW series... I scoffed at my comic store lady for dropping the TMNT Batman #1 eastman cover in my box a few months ago. Glad I have it!!

- I have all of the new IDW series, and mostly Eastman covers/variants of all....all #1 variants too. All crossovers, spinoffs, and weird one-shots as well. I love the new series. Eastman brought it justice and retribution for the dark period of TMNT.
I have 1-62 of the original run. #1 is 2nd print, peter's personal copy, has a major printer flaw error going down the right side of cover and back cover - signed and sketched by both Eastman and Laird. Eastman knew immediately whose book it was when I approaced him for a signature. I also have Eastman's personal NYCC "Laird Variant" of #3, yellow label CGC that clearly states on the yellow label, "From the personal collection of Kevin Eastman". I also have a wide collection of Peter's toys, all signed by him as well.
Here's an album of some of my items I am most proud of: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10207942712618873.1073741830.1028855689&type=1&l=08edd84526
My white whale is Gobbledygook #1 and #2. They cost a fortune and rightfully so at only 50 known to exist.

- Thank you. I have to hide everything from my 10 yr old LOL
It's crazy I have tmnt toys worth more than the comics! Still looking for a deal on scratch and shogun triceraton.
Edit: I added more photos today.

- @Rapha and the good Kaptain: It would seem the two of you are TMNT experts so I might as well ask you. I only have a few of their comics (#4 - 6 I believe, or something like that), but I also own their original action figures still unopened. Are those worth anything? Thanks, guys.

- Yes, the vintage action figures - some unopened go for thousands. You also have to know what to look for: hat on, hat off, cloth robe, plastic robe, purple belt, black belt, soft heads, plastic heads, wave 1, wave 2, etc. Some will tell you Scratch and Hot Spot are the rarest, but this is not true. Shogun Triceraton with the gold coin and Undercover Leo With cloth Coat and gold coin are among the rarest. Any figure with the pop up display, gold coin, Japan figure or original 1988 figure with 10 back card and rubber soft heads go for hundreds. The original 4 turtles with fan club inserts and rubber heads go for $200 each sealed, mint on card.

- Even with the new 2011 IDW comic book series if you are lucky enough to buy all Eastman covers and subscription RI covers you are SET. #1 is at $100 right now all day
