    Cheers

    I thought about the video but just went with the picture. The video is a classic :)

    About time you got yourself a pair of turtles and a pair of beauties at that!

    I don't have any turtles but this is my favourite turtle comic.

    I'm just gonna let my new little refugee swim here with the rest of his friends.

    Since Collect89 had already taken all the TMNT Renaissance artist names, I had to plunder another one. I'm calling him, appropriately I think, El Greco. Crete, where El Greco was originally from, isn't too far from Aegina, and that is a Corinthian helmet countermark, afterall :).

    The minions of the postal gods took extra long to deliver this coin, but feeling that he'd be arriving today, I dressed accordingly to welcome him.

    Heh, thanks, it's one of my favourites, worn threadbare and badly in need of retirement.

    Nice piece Z, I like the stamps on it. Though I think you should call it Spike. :D

    I am still a huge turtles fan, got 3 shirts in my closet now and played the NES games yesterday, lol.

    LOL, Slash, but I prefer the 1990s Slash, not this new one with a tiny head they use now.

    Must have felt and tasted good as you walked about the Agora looking to make some purchases. Certainly better than Owls.

    I'm sure it was worth the wait. Patience pays off. Nice looking turtle.
