Remember a couple of weeks ago when we told you to start saving your change for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles auction where Kevin Eastman was expected to auction away the first ever drawing of the Ninja Turtles? Well the time to start counting your quarters is nigh, as the coveted artwork went up today and has thus far met the reserve price with a current bid of $50,000.
The good news? There have only been 10 bidders so far. The bad news? There's still 2 days of auction left. The worst news? I couldn't afford this if there were 2 years of auction left.
At this point I'd have better luck creating my own smash-hit comic book franchise and auctioning the artwork. (Note To Self: Save all original sketches from Crazy Karate Curmudgeons In Space: Series 1)
