Hi Gator,
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find where you've posted it in the past, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to get your current opinion on the topic...
Can you compare both the current and projected FMV's (lets say 10 years from now) for Detective Comics #29 and Detective Comics #31?
-Low grade.
-Mid grade.
-High grade.
How many copies of each would you guesstimate to still be in existence?
The highest CGC-certified copy of Tec #29 is the Allentown 9.6 and the highest unrestored Tec #31 is an 8.0; how much do you estimate the Tec #29 9.6's current FMV to be today and how much would you estimate a Tec #31 would sell for if one existed in the exact same condition?
I consider tec 29 to me more valueable, grade for grade, than tec 31...that said, there is more apparent demand for 31, than 29 (which is a good thing, since there are more copies of 31 in the market than 29, so that kind of evens out)...
low grade tec 29 and 31 sell at comparable rates...as do mid grade ...high grade just don't "exist" with sales, so really no way to know... my guess is someone would easily pony up 500K for the allentown 29 if they so desired, and would pay the same for a 9.6 tec 31 if out there...I think in 7.0 both are worth about the same (there is a tec 29 in cgc 7.0 coming up for auction soon, so we will have some more empiracal data soon)...
long term, 10 years out, I suspect both will appreciate faster than inflation (thumbs u
Thanks for the feedback Rick. (thumbs u
Do you know where the 7.0 Tec #29 will be auctioned off (CC, CL, HA...)?
Also, how many copies of both Tec #29 and Tec #31 would you estimate to still be in existence?
150-250?
I've heard that Tec #29's are harder to come by than Tec #27's, has that been the case in your experience?

Action #7
Picked this up a few months ago (after it had sold on Heritage) but just now got around
to taking some of my own pictures.
A book I really thought I’d never have a chance to own, and really a surreal moment for me as a collector. A book I will be putting into the chest for the long haul.
The defect on this one is obvious. But the rest of the book is so nice in quality and color that it almost makes up for it. And again to just be able to own it, you’ll here no complaints from me.
Hindsight really is 20/20, I believe I was the first to post this book when it went up for auction on Heritage, and was defiantly not in favor of the piece missing. Passed on the book on heritage, regretted it ever since. As luck would have it when I started searching around for an early Action Superman cover, one of our boardies (none other than Rick aka Gator), had a line on this copy from its then anonymous owner who would sell if we figured out a price point. The rest is history. And I’m a happy man for sure.
Humongous thanks to Gator for making this happen, if not for you it would not have!
To me, Action Comics #7 is my all-time favorite Superman cover.
This was an unspeakably incredible acquisition on your behalf Alex.
No amount of congratulations would do this book the proper justice.
Just being able to appreciate the pics is a true privilege; I couldn't imagine how incredible it must feel to own this piece of history.
BIG TIME, BIG TIME, BIG TIME congratulations buddy!

Ronnie and I just successfully completed a big-time trade transaction.
I traded him my Detective Comics #37:
In exchange for his Amazing Spider-Man #1:
Communication with Ronnie was great, he packaged everything safely and securely, and I couldn't be happier to have had the opportunity to work with him.
Thanks so much!

So what hit the stands first, Action #12 or Detective #26?
Gotta be Detective #26, since it has an April cover date vs. the May cover date on the Action #12, right?
I'm also curious if this same ad for Detective #27... or some variant thereof... appeared in any other DC titles from that month. Is this the first printed image of Batman?
Don't take my word for it, but I think so. (thumbs u
-
You are reaaly giving up these beauties Brian???
(thumbs u I know I will regret it down the line.. But I can't have everything
So is it okay for me to ask...are you going after a Tec #27?

Detective Comics #35 (CGC 4.0)
Detective Comics #36 (CGC 4.0)
Detective Comics #37 (CGC 4.0)
-
Dear Gator,
What would you consider to be (roughly) the FMV for all Pre-Robin Tecs (#27-37) in CGC Universal 2.0 condition?
-
I'm going to be a member of the Pre-Robin Tec Club again!

Well boys and girls, we've got a true entry level Tec 35 coming to auction.
a "nice" CGC 1.0 with Slight P, this will be fun to watch.
What is going on this year?? Last year we only saw one Tec 35 offered publicly on auction. And this year, this is #6 to come to the market on auction!
#6 or not, it's still going to go for a fat premium. Presents nicely and gets the job done, so yeah, it'll be interesting to see where the hammer lands at the end.
Ends tomorrow night... it's up to $2,952 right now.
Final bid $3,356. Did anyone here win?
that would be me....... Now can someone please buy my tec 37 ? Congratulations John!
What a pick-up!
-
Which one would you choose?
Action Comics #1 all day long.
Then Tec #27, then AF #15.

Recently I have been fortunate enough to acquire two incredible pieces in the "incomplete-grail" department.
Though it has often been said, there truly is no "grail" greater then Action Comics #1.
Pictured below is the iconic Splash Page that features the very 1st appearence of Zatara.
For those who have thumbed through a Famous First Edition of Action Comics #1, the imagery of all the classic pages tends to stick with you. After the Origin and 1st appearence of Superman (naturally), the 1st appearence of Zatara stands tall as being one of the many things that made Action Comics #1 the greatest comic book in the history of our hobby.
Pretty cool to be able to hold such an iconic piece of history in your hands.

I don't know. Looking at past sales, and considering the page quality on this copy, I think 350K is the right ballpark.
Jeff;
Looks like you nailed this one almost bang on! (thumbs u
With the prices that some of these books are going for, are the early Actions hotter than the pre-Robin 'Tec books right now. I guess this is catch-up time for Supes as the market seems to go in cycles all the time.
IMHO, the sales of the 9.0 Action #10 and 9.2 Action #13 have just put Early Actions (outside of #1) on an even higher plateau.
You can always throw the guide out on books like this; but still:
Action #10 in 9.0 guides for $47,558; sold for $258,000.
Action #13 in 9.2 guides for $30,000; sold for $185,000.
For these books to have sold at these figures on a day when the stock market probably didn't help things for some bidders, this is just incredible.
Very tough to say if Early Actions are pulling ahead of Pre-Robin Tecs, but you never know.
I almost wonder if the recently released Superman photo from the new "Man of Steel" film has helped to stir up additional interest in the character, even from an investment standpoint.
We've been waiting for Superman to become "cool" again for years, maybe even decades; and while it's not much to go by, the upcoming film is at least showing promise.

Ankur is fantastic to work with!
He recently purchased a four-figure book from me and paid for it immediately.
I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again in the future. (thumbs u
Much thanks.
-
With just over 3 hours left...
Action #1 is up to 327K. (thumbs u
-
It will be interesting to see how much CC's Action #1 ends up going for tonight.
A little over 7 hours left and still sitting at only 314K.

no, that is very reasonable...
What's the FMV for a Universal 1.5?
-
Is it just me, or did this Superman #2 sell for a very reasonable price?

Ask Gator
in Golden Age Comic Books
Posted
"several" hundred Tec #29's as in 200, 300, 400?
And Tec #31 would be about (and I know this is just a guesstimate) double that?
